Relaxed environment with everything you need
We arrived late and was greeted by a fiesta in the garden outside our room. We found it entertaining and appreciated that it ended about midnight. The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We had a few hours check out so we hung out in the common area. Everyone was great.

Party place with nice decor
Staff were a little offhand staff the beginning but they were very nice overall. This is a party place so if you are looking for a quiet place this is not it. I liked the decor and everything about it but we were kept awake by other guests who were drinking in the courtyard all night.

Common area nice but rooms are dirty
The hotel is well located. Their common area is nice as well, the kitchen is nice too. We were in a private room with a private bathroom. Saying the room was ugly would be an understatement. It really was filthy and moldy. The curtains need to be changed (see attached pic). In fact, the room we had should be renovated illico presto.

Toalhas de banho podem ser alugadas.
O hostel é bem localizado e tem um pessoal que atende na recepção bem atenciosos. Lado ruim é que nem todos os pontos de entrada USB funcionam e a limpeza do banheiro parece ser apenas por onde o padre passa. Mas resumindo fiz amizades incríveis nesse lugar.

Like: Great location, very nice common area, bed with private plug, good wifi, laundry shop nearby (cheap and quick)
Toilet cleanliness should be improved but still in the acceptable range.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht empfehlenswert. Eigentlich eine passable Unterkunft, aber eines Morgens wurde ich von einem Mitbewohner geweckt: Das Zimmer war verqualmt. Der Luftreiniger hat gekokelt und ich hatte es von alleine nicht mitbekommen, weil es keinen Rauchmelder gab. Auf meine Anfrage, ob man nicht einen Rauchmelder installieren könnte, wurde gesagt, der Chef sei nicht in der Gegend, aber man könne mir ein anderes Zimmer anbieten. In einer Zeit, wo alle ihre Handys mit Billignetzteilen im Zimmer aufladen sollten Rauchmelder für ein paar Pesos schon drin sein …

Chambre double sommaire mais confortable donnant sur la cours intérieure. Dommage que les autres clients parlent et mettent de la musique forte bien après l heure autorisée.

Ótimo custo benefício!
Hostel bem localizado, clima bem agradável, quarto amplo, ótimo banheiro, com ar condicionado. Fica faltando apenas um pouco mais de atenção na limpeza, ficamos 10 dias hospedados e apenas 2x uma moça foi ao quarto limpar o banheiro. As toalhas não foram trocadas, mas independente disso tínhamos as nossas, e a roupa de cama também não foi trocada durante os 10 dias. Mas não sei se essa é a política do hostel. De resto, equipe prestativa, simpatica e local muito agradável. Voltaria sem dúvidas.

Schönes Hostel mitten in San Telmo
Das Hostel liegt wenige Gehminuten vom Hauptplatz San Telmos entfernt. Die geräumigen Zimmer sind sehr schön und modern eingerichtet. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und die Gemeinschaftsräume sind gemütlich. Außerdem einen schönen Innenhof zum draußen sitzen. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Superiorzimmer im Hostel
Die Zimmer sind groß und hell, die Betten gut und es gibt sogar einen Kleiderschrank. Schade ist, dass auch in sechs Nächten nicht einmal die Handtücher oder die Bettwäsche gewechselt wurden.
Das Hostel liegt perfekt mitten in San Telmo und sind trotzdem günstig. Im Hostel wohnen zwar überwiegend junge Leute, wir haben uns als "Ältere" aber willkommen gefühlt. Das Frühstück ist sehr einfach und man muss selber spülen, aber gleich um die Ecke gibt es tolle und preiswerte Frühstückscafes. Wir würden wieder dort übernachten!

Decepción
El personal es más que amable y amigable, pero durante mi estancia hubo un problema con mi habitación privada y en vez de cambiarme a una igual, me pasaron a una compartida, dándome sólo de reembolso un par de pesos de mala gana como si fuera mi culpa su problema.
Al hacer la reserva ofrecían transporte al aeropuerto, al confirmar la estancia me apareció una leyenda de que el traslado "podría" generar algún cargo, finalmente pague un traslado en un taxi común que me costó el triple de lo que costaría un taxi libre de la calle.
Viajeros, eviten este lugar hasta que mejore su nivel, a pesar de ser bajo costo, está por debajo de otros de la misma categoría.

Great value for money and convenient location.
No frills but comfortable and friendly place at a great price. Local to the Sunday market at plaza dorrego and La Boca. Easy walk to SUBTE trains to get around if you prefer not to walk.
Beds were comfortable and there is a courtyard and reception area and free wi-fi. Really liked it and enjoyed our stay.
