    The accommodations were good and clean, right in the city center. The place however is not like we expected, there are way too many rooms/people making it not so cozy. Showers did not work properly, and the staff was kinda cold and not responsive at all. I hardly got answer to my messages, they said that there are way too many and hard to answer all (understaffed). The place is good, but if you wand cozy vacations with warm people, go somewhere else.

    Twin mattress was very firm for guest comfort, could not control room temperature and it was very hot a couple nights until they adjusted for us. Noisy guests in common area up late several nights- no quiet hours apparently. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, hard dry bread, choice of 2 fruits. Some variety would be good.

    The size, layout, location. Large kitchen, sofa and chairs to relax in the apartment unit. Comfy king sized bed.

    Maybe the kitchen is a little small. It gets crowded very easily due to the capacity of the hostel.

    Awesome stay! Amazing staff willing to answer my infinite questions about their tours. Great prices for the tours, I think there's a 10% discount over the prices you see in the agencies. Big shared bathrooms and cozy rooms.

    Nothing.

    There was a lot of common space, and it was clean. There are plugs everywhere to charge your phone. It was close to everything like panaderias, grocery store and restaurants.

    Some of the staff were helpful, others weren't. I struggled to get through the doors with my big, heavy backpack and suitcase, and TWO receptionists just stood there staring. They wouldn't even help holding the door. Some used earbuds were on my shelf, so cleaning could be improved. But all of the hostels I've stayed at in Argentina have the same issue, so that wouldn't stop me from staying there again.

    The location is great, it's very central and close to the main street. Breakfast was good too, hostels in Argentina tend to be incredibly cheap with breakfast but this one had eggs (a luxury compared to other hostels in the country!), bread, cereal, milk, fruits and coffee. The building is beautiful and it has several common spaces so it's great for solo travelers, you can make friends easily.

    Friendly staff, great location, quiet respectful guests. Wonderful breakfast, coffee, tea, juice, milk, cereal, toast, jam & butter, scrambled eggs, fruit. Super relaxed environment with a cozy common area and shared guest kitchen. Awesome place to stay for folks of all ages!!

    No fault of the property / employees: A shared bathroom is unlikely going to be clean as some people do not consider others. Too much fabric softener/ conditioner such that the scent of it in the room was very strong and stays in your nose

    Very central in town but away from the busiest areas too

    The apartment is right on top of the community kitchen so it smelled of food misting the time. No heating, it got quite cold during the night.

    The apartment war quite spacious and well equipped. Huge double bed.

    Breakfast was ok but there was a bit of a mad rush at the time we went and they didn't make the token system clear.

    There was a good bed and shower here. This was a very comfy place to stay and well located. It was quiet at night despite a lot of people staying here.

    The breakfast is very basic. Enough to get you started for the day, but not much beyond that.

    A very well run Hostal. The staff was helpful and our room (private) was very comfortable. Considering how busy the place was, we only experienced a minimum amount of noise and it was quiet at night. We had a nice stay.
