Liked: The common area is amazing. Very open and light flooded, a lot of nice art work on the walls and the balcony is more like a terrace (sizewise). The location in Palermo couldn't be better and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Stayed in a nine bed dorm (although I booked a four bed room), which was tiny, a bit smelly and had triple bunks to fit the nine persons in. Don't think it got cleaned during the three nights of my stay. But since the common areas are awesome I didn't really care in the end (who wants to stay in his room in BsAs anyways?).

Liked: It's in the middle of Palermo, very good location!

Disliked: Place wasn't organised very well, we booked a dorm of 4 and ended up in a dorm of 9. lots of young people, going out every night and leaving a mess. when you're a bit older it's not the place to be. bathrooms weren't clean.

Liked: This hostel has a grungy look with spray-painted walls which I liked and a laid-back atmosphere. It is easy to meet other travellers from lots of different countries, has a relaxed environment, has a nice balcony for day or night, is kept clean and offers a nice breakfast for a good price. There are books there to barrow including Lonely Planets and you can chill out or join the party when you feel like it.

Disliked: While I was staying there the showers were cold, Im unsure if this was just then, but not this is not so good once you adjust to the heat of Buenos Aires! Also, I thought they could have more information and trips etc but as I was leaving, I saw they were setting this up so I guess no need to mention that one! Overall, I liked this hostel and ended up staying a week longer than planned and would recommend it :)

Liked: The best thing about this hostel was the nice common area, porch and kitchen. The breakfast was also decent too, though a bit sugary. The location was fantastic, right in the boutique shopping and residential neighbourhood of Palermo, it was also very secure. The AC didn't work at times, however, as I booked an AC all female room. The toilets could be bigger and the rooms, the communal ones on the lower floor, could be more airy. BEDBUGS were a major problem in this hostel (esp my room 5!), I was still bitten after fumigation. I stayed only because I had met great friends at the hostel, its good value and location.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: As described this is the place you go to to meet people and do things together. Perfect for a solo traveler or groups who would like to extend their circle of friends. Location is perfect and i allways felt safe.The only negative thing is the cleanliness. Bathrooms are disgusting and there are bedbugs in some of the rooms!All in all though i would still recommend it to a friend because of the people i met and the fun i had!

Liked: Perfect location for enjoying Palermo - one of the best spots to hang out in the day and party at night. Not the best social area in terms of comfort, but the terrace is a plus. Stayed in a few hostels in BA and this one was not bad. Estoril Terrazas was by far the best.

Liked: The hall room. Very pleasant atmosphere. Although my overall rate is good, cleanliness is very important to me. Rooms perhaps are too old but they seem very dirty and plus toilets and showers are very few compared to the number of guests therefore get dirty very fast as well.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
