Liked: The location in Palermo is great and is just around the corner from Plaza Serrano (great little drinking/nightlife spot). It's easy to meet other travellers and is very social.

Disliked: The kitchen was pretty terrible. Only two hobs worked and it took an age even to just boil water to cook pasta. The beds were lacking, and the 3 level of bunks are not ideal. The place was pretty ramshackled and was rather unclean for the most part (even though I saw cleaners cleaning for most of the day). Showers were disgusting as well.

Liked: Lounge area was cool, friendly staff.

Disliked: I scratched all night with the bed bugs. I even heard one buzz in my ear! Not good! Taxi to the airport was a ripoff. Better flag one on the street.

Liked: Nice location.

Disliked: We could hear everything happening in the hall from our room. Nothing loud during the night, but annoying when you're a couple booking a private room.

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 :)
