Buenos Aires Hostellit

Plussat: The location of the Hostel is pretty central! You can get anywhere prettyfast!

Miinukset: This is a Party Hostel! If you like get drunk and party all night long i can recommend to stay there, if not you probably better stay somewhere else! The AC in the room was so strong that i got sick after 3 nights. So be carefull when booking a room with AC!

Plussat: Good location and great place to know people. Staff very friendly and helpful to book tours.

Miinukset: You get charged in different currencies at unfavorable exchange rates, than the actual invoices. This is not communicated before. Check in is super slow.

Plussat: GREAT hostel , comfy beds, very social and hostel parties at every nice great way to meet other backpackers, organised walking tours, good location close to tourist attractions and metro station, staff was helpful , breakfast until 3pm , hot showers, good lockers. Will definitely be back

Miinukset: Takes way too long to check in

Plussat: The hostel offers a lot of activities and it's easy to get to know new people. Very good location. Nice breakfast and bar in the hostel.

Miinukset: You have to be aware that there are a lot of young people that just come to this hostel for partying. Unluckily I had very disrespectful roommates which always made a lot of noise in the night, left on the light and so on. The room was also not that clean.

Plussat: Everything is made to take care of the guest. Staff are really nice and the parties are awesome!!

Miinukset: To go back home...kkkkk

Plussat: Awesome and lovely staff and a fantastic location, close to lots of great restuarants and bars.

Miinukset: I stayed in a few different dorm rooms, some were more spacious and better ventilated than others

Plussat: Location good in Palermo, female receptionists were good and informative - really nice Cool graffiti indoors and comfy bed in private , although a lot of my friends complained of beg bugs in the dorms

Miinukset: I NEVER leave reviews.. but this hostel was so bad I have to warn u... The male guy on reception was ridiculously bad, on arrival at 1am he sent us to the wrong room (which was outside the actual hostel in a completely different building) we kept coming back in saying it they key was wrong & he sent us back angry saying “ it isn’t that difficult” but wouldn’t show us himself ... He refused to help so we found another member of staff. Turns out he was sending us to the wrong room altogether so thats why key wasnt working. Our room was literally opposite reception. When we finally got to our room it was the wrong room , we paid over £30 extra for one double with a balcony. It was extremely small and didn’t have a balcony - there was a “mix up on their system”. A few nights later they sent us to a Tango show with a “special discount” and we got there and the Tango people had no idea about this discount- they quoted us a price almost double what we were told by the hostel. They had to call the hostel and ask and it took us 45 mins to be seated (Madeira Tango btw or something like that) .. they didn’t even apologise the next day although by the time we sat down to eat everyone had finished their desert when we go our starter... the male receptionist is extremely incompetent I’ve been travelling over a year and this is by far the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in Also it’s really really really dirty

Plussat: Comfy bed in private, good location & cool decor

Miinukset: Incompetent staff, rude , messed up our booking, our room allocation, charged us unnecessarily twice so just a faff going to reception to get it altered and refunded. Staff were rude and unhelpful (except young girl with brown hair) Very dirty, all my friends complained of bed bugs No offer of any monetary refund for all the mess ups they did- wrong room, 4x, rude male staff, wrong price at Tango show, unnecessary charge to credit card Pay a little extra and go somewhere else - you won’t regret it , makes for a better time in Buenos Aires which is ab amazing city. We loved every part we weren’t at the hostel

Plussat: Staff friendly and helpful Lockers in the luggage room

Miinukset: Aircon wasn't working and super hot in the room Everything seems a bit run down

Plussat: it is very social place, good for solo traveler

Miinukset: BED BUGS

Plussat: We really enjoyed chatting to the staff and they were so helpful giving us advice!

Plussat: Centrally located, easy access to public transport, some reasonable restaurants in the area which helped for meals (given kitchen not very good and no breakfast included). Staff generally helpful, though, and pretty good security.

Miinukset: Bathroom full of dirty toilet paper, rooms very hot (air conditioning not coping with hot weather) kitchen had minimal space or equipment and not at all conducive to cooking. One of the few hostels I've stayed in south America with no breakfast included, which I didn't notice when I booked.

Plussat: the staff

Miinukset: its was a really scary and weird place. the staff was nice but no way i could sleep there . i paid and rut to diffrent hostel. its not clean, not enough light, absouloty scary.

Plussat: Location is central, staff is helpful and good english. Room is spacious. Good to have lift

Miinukset: None

Plussat: If u are on a tight budget, why not?Location and staff great

Miinukset: I wouldn't cook in the kitchen. Cooker was really tricky and I would say dangerous to use. Others did. Their choice. Bed Room was mildewy and moldy. Bed really uncomfortable. Whole place needed a good coat of paint and sprucing up. Faded grandeur. . So pros and cons. However expected more from description in lonely planet!!!

Plussat: Great location and lots of atmosphere

Plussat: I celebrated New Years Eve in this hostel and had a great time! The staff / volunteers are very nice and like working in the hostel, what translate to an overal good vibe. The rooftop is fun!

Plussat: Nice Jugendstil features, clean, 24h reception, cool common areas with the lobby and the rooftop. Armchairs on the other floors, water filter, friendly people (staff and guests).

Miinukset: Pretty noisy due to the ventilation / AC, but you get used to it. No place to hang up your washing.

Plussat: Character building in keeping with its surrounds, with friendly and helpful reception staff and an open rooftop relaxation area. Cleaning staff came daily and did their best. The location is quite central.

Miinukset: Bathroom and kitchen were fairly old but serviceable. Dorm rooms were stuffy but air con was noisy and excessively cold when switched on.

Plussat: Beautiful room, had one in the 4th floor with a little balcony. The room was clean and has everything you need.

Miinukset: You have to ring the bell and tell your name and room number each time you want to enter the hostel. Makes it more secure overall but is a little annoying.

Plussat: Very nice and helpful staff Great location

Miinukset: Towels where dirty with black hair on it. Pillows and blankets had stains. Bathroom not really clean. Hot Water not working. Super loud until late in the night, basically impossible to sleep. No hangers or anything to put clothes. Seems to be managed unprofessionally

Plussat: The roof terrace and the breakfast was very nice

Miinukset: The fridge in the kitchen is super gross. it stinks and it looks like it never got a clean. i put a cotton bag with our food in there and i couldn't get the smell out of the bag. there is not much to cook with (pots, pans, etc.) so its a bit of a mission. the bathrooms were okay. the dorm rooms are not very big so it get super messy in there. apparently they offer tour and activities, but no one told us about it.

Plussat: The rooms were lovely and clean. There were plenty of toilets and showers. The bar was good and the pizza was cheap. Also in a great location near the sube station and lots of nice bars and restaurants.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: The hostel wasn’t very clean.

Plussat: Comfortable common area and big balcony locker inside room kitchen good bar inside hoste Friendly staff Good location in center everything is nearby (busstop, market, restaurant Lots of nice wall art inside hostel

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It is fine, good location, good rooms, there is what you need, hot water in the showers, AC, plugs at the bed for charging. Everything is good, just close your eyes at some points. The staff was so lovely to lent me a card for the metro and busses, so it was so easy to get around the city, they also help with a lot of great info about worth to visit, tickets for la bomba de tiempo, tangoshows and what ever you need.

Miinukset: There is a Kitchen, but it is your lucky day if there is a plate to eat from, so just had to eat direcly from the pot. Also some basic could be provided, like salt, peber, oil. In general the kitchen need an update, together with many other things.

Plussat: In general, I liked the hostel! Nice huge house converted in a hostel, perfect location in the heart of the Buenos Aires center- not in San Telmo, but next to it - in Monserrat! I really liked the house, Art atmosphere, colorful walls-graffiti, nice bar on the terrace, with very cute and friendly bartenders! The room was fine, nothing special- Clean, with space and with a personal charger and a personal cupboard (locker) for your valuable belongings.

Miinukset: They have a big problem with the WiFi! I was 5 days there and every day almost all day the Internet wasn't working! They need to fix it because was very frustrating. Another thing I didn't like was the main door and some of the staff. Sometimes the system(for open the door) doesn't work, also the camera, they can't hear the ring bell and I remember one night, was late, 2 am and 5 people were waiting more than 10 minutes outside to open the door. We were knocking, screaming and everything to be heard and to enter the hostel. Finally, the guy opened the first door, after that, we asked to open the second :D because he doesn't. When I asked him what the hell happened, he just said ''The system doesn't work, so I can't see and hear who and when is outside''. It was like a joke... He was so fine with that and doesn't apologize... (We were knocking very would in a rhythm with all hands). The night shift is a problem for some people there, so please don't take this job(shift) if you can't stay awake- that's your job and you're responsible! (some were sleeping every night...) And my last morning the same guy was sleeping till 9 am on the couch when people wanted to check-out and to leave the key or ask something if they need. Most of the staff didn't know many things as what transport(bus, train) can leave you to the airport(they know just ''take a cab''), what buses are passing by close to the hostel, where you can find a working shop at late night and other things. Just regular questions, nothing special! Please, take a note about those things, because the place is nice, but when you don't give any effort to do your work properly, everything is going on the trash...

Plussat: Private room was big and bed was comfy. Location is good in the center of BA I guess value for money is good as it is really cheap

Miinukset: Stayed there 4 nights, have not managed to have ONE warm shower - like it was freezing cold water. I get that it is warm outside and we don’t need a 37 degree shower but a bit of warmth at 8am to wash your hair would be appreciated?!? WiFi cutting out all the time. Our window was not secure so if someone wanted to get into our private room, they could have. Not great. One of the staff member was really lovely, the other were nice enough but not overly enthusiastic/helpful, although always spoke (broken) Spanish to them.

Plussat: If you are looking for a cheap, clean, safe and good location place, this is the right for you. If you are looking for a comfortable, cute, and well maintaned rooms, you need to find another place. Staff was nice, clean room, they made the beds everyday. Average breakfast.

Miinukset: You get what you pay. I don't know about other rooms, but our room was far away from the pictures in the app. The room has a weird smell, it was so old, the doors, closet door, toilet, bathroom in general was old and worn out. Few daylight since was in the interior patio. CLEAN, I have to be objective! Again, this was my experience. You get what you pay.

Plussat: Superb location with a bar at the underground level.

Miinukset: The air conditioning was extremely loud and the breakfast was poor.

Plussat: The location, the facility, the breakfast, the bar.

Miinukset: I think the staff did not provide me enough information about local culture activities such entertainment; I have to find dverything on my own , they could have helped. Moreover, I was in a private room and still so the hostel ask for a towels deposit.

Plussat: Very very very clean! Beds are really comfortable, rooms have enough space with bathroom inside de room. Very safe!

Miinukset: Some staff a bit unpolite.

Plussat: Nice welcome from reception. They speak some English and were very helpful. The communal area has a small shared kitchen (not open during breakfast time), free cold drinking water, sofas and tables. We paid for breakfast- coffee, juice, brown and white rolls, cereals and fruit. It was good value and you help yourself to as much as you want. We stayed in a private room - comfortable beds and good water pressure in shower.

Miinukset: Rooms a little tired.

Plussat: Everything The staff very friendly

Plussat: Location, price of the room, breakfast.

Miinukset: That the place is ran by young people that perhaps think that their job is limited to provide front desk services, that is, charging for towel's security deposit, drinks, foods, ect..The hostel only provide soap if you leave a security deposit for the towels..

Plussat: location

Miinukset: Staff could not speak english

Plussat: Location is excellent, close to Obelisco Sq. Near LIMA metro Best rate in money exchange. The lady she works on morning, she often give us smile

Miinukset: It is a chaotic and mixing hostel. We book 3x twin roims and 7 in dorm, when we checkin, he says only 4 beds, no explanation and regret, only give me a other hotel. But luckily, we find other better hotel nearby. The building is tooo old, toilet is smelted. Room is small. If u have other choice, forget this one

Miinukset: By far the worst hostel i have ever stayed in. The room and bathroom was full of mold and moisture. The smell of the room was horrible.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: There was so much smoking that we woke up with a headache. The small room had no window. We possibly lost electricity overnight because my phone stopped charging. The bathroom was ridiculous with a shower area without a divider between the shower area and bathroom floor. The pillows and bedsheets stank of sweat, cigarettes and alcohol. We ran away after the first night and found a much better two- star hotel. Even though we lost money because we paid for two nights. Absolutely disgusting. Stay away!

Plussat: nice place.

Miinukset: The bathroom was a little dirty.

Plussat: Location was the only thing they had going for them.

Miinukset: Where do I begin? The private room for two we were given was dirty, broken, old and had bed bugs. My husband was bitten alive during our two night stay. The two fans kept the room at a decent temperature but I would not stay here during the summer when it's hot night and day. The staff did not speak any English but tries to assist - sorta but not really. The bathrooms were below average and their kitchen and communal space was extremely small and stuffy. They don't accept credit card, so you must pay in US dollar, Rio, or their currency.

Plussat: Loved the shower in our room

Miinukset: Not having WiFi in our room

Plussat: Good value for money!

Miinukset: Can't reach WiFi from the room

Plussat: friendly staff

Miinukset: very basic, no window in the room, no soap provided, breackfast poor (it wa smy first time in a hostel in Argentina, this is not my range, now I know)

Plussat: The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great, near bus stops and the subway. Breakfast was simple, but good.

Miinukset: The structure is very, very old. The furniture is also old and very unappealing. The sheets seemed clean, but wer full of suspicious stains. The room had a very strong smell of cigarettes.
