It’s not bad as a budget hostel, I never did fins the bathrooms, and the breakfast isn’t. You can pay for the upgraded breakfast but I’d suggest making your own or just going out. All in all it’s ok for the price you pay.

Good hostel for a few nights stay
Good hostel. Breakfast is decent. Liked the room and surroundings. Surprisingly very quite though, like people don't mingle. Wonder if it's because the location is longer walk from downtown area and it wasn't at full occupancy.

Nice hostel with really helpful staff
The private double room and bathroom was nice and great to have dark curtains which is a nice treat in Argentina. Breakfast was basic but fine and plentiful. Staff on reception really helpful, even with personal bookings not related to the hostel.

God awful
I have very little good to say about my stay... the only thing is that when we checked in the girl at reception helped us sort out our pick up times for the tour the following day... other than that... AWFUL! Our room type (twin) wasn’t arranged as booked and confirmed so we were given 2 options: pay an upgrade to a twin superior room (seriously??) or to convert the beds from a “king” to 2 single beds... which we did changed all the bedding etc ourselves but I am still waiting for a duvet as I was promised 3 times it would come to my room (still waiting!) had I had my scissors st hand I would have split the king duvet myself... breakfast was poor, just bread pretty much and the cleanliness... left much to be improved on!
