Great customer service.

10/10

We received great service from all the staff. Sarah and Santiago were very helpful to extend our stay and to assist us also to keep our luggage for a little while. The breakfast was very nice, good variety of fruit and pastries, plus eggs and more. The location is great, walkable and safe. We found this small hotel accessible and convenient for us to enjoy our first time visiting Buenos Aires. The rooms are spacious, quiet and good value. We recommend it for those who want to enjoy the city and return at night for a good rest.

La atención es excelente. Mi única crítica es para la cama, que estaba un poco vieja y con los resortes vencidos. Todo lo demás, para recomendar. Muy bueno!

Room was clean but a little bit small for 2 People. Expecialy for luggage. Building is a little bit more acustic. You hear all quarrel of your neighbours and move in and out other tourists. But staff is very helpful and kind.

I liked the location, short walk to restaurants I didn't like the group of people they brought on a bus, they were extremely loud, and, I couldn't sleep. It was awful.

BEST hostel I have ever stayed in. Clean, safe, large. and it always smelled like fresh brownies in the oven. Very good breakfast. Many outlets for charging devices. The only negative is there was no lock on the main door or my room door. Anyone could walk in.
