Closed and was not notified

This hostel has closed down. I was not informed of this prior to my scheduled stay and only found this out when I arrived to BA to find no one there or answering the phone. I had already paid for my booking and received a confirmation email for my booking earlier in the week I was due to stay. This should not be advertised as available via the Hotels.com website.

Being fixed up, great potential

I stayed at the place while it was being fixed up, so there isn't much more I can say beyond: it has great potential! The suits on top are a mini flat with all necessary conditions. Would like to see it again when it opens!

El "hostel no-hostel"

Resulta que el hostel ya no funciona como tal sino como una residencia. Por lo tanto fue un poco complejo el ingreso a la misma. Por lo demás todo muy bien, buenos espacios, buena gente y buena ubacación.

Cheap

It was as we expected not the best shape, but value for the money. You get what you pay for, but not more. It was a bed to sleep in, and a shower.

Nice friendly hostel near the centre of San Telmo and 10 minutes walk to the Subte. Friendly staff. Female dorm only had 1 powerpoint between 6 beds, which was a downside. Luckily, the dorm was not full while I was there.

Beautiful hostel, great staff, highly recommend

Super friendly and helpful staff. As a young female solo traveller I felt very safe in this area and in the beautiful female shared room! The only things I could mention is the doors of the showers need to be fixed more tea towels to dry dishes would be good
