Liked: really nice atmosphere, lovely terrace and fun at night in the bar! loved the graffiti in the walls and the decoration!

Disliked: there was just a little down side to it, the wifi connection was having constant problems and there was no hot watter in the upper female showers which promised to be sorted out, but didn't happen while i was there! (there was hot watter downstairs though!)

25 March 2011 Heather would recommend this property

Liked: A great base for BA. Location is great and the staff are really helpful in advising you where to go and how to get there. Our double room was funky with crazy art work on the walls, it was a bit cold in there tho because of the high celin and could have done with an extra heater. Breakfast was included and it was fantastic - cereals, toast, fruit, tea and coffee etc.

Disliked: The kitchen was not great - very old with no pots or pans to use to cook. Very basic so had to eat out alot which was ashame.

07 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Terrace is a best place in the hostel!!! Nice location, good breakfast, very good concert at the Friday night.

Disliked: We had just one problem. The hostel changed prices for rooms. We booked hostel 3 months before our trip and they would like that we pay extra. The manager wasn't nice. At the end we paid as much as was on the reservation. But in general was ok and other staff was very nice and helpful.

Liked: Terrace!!!! Helpful and happy staff!

Disliked: I wouldve preferred a room with a real window access to fresh air instead of a wee window that opened to the hallway...

24 February 2011

Liked: Nice locations. Good breakfast. Easy to get taxi to/from airport.

Disliked: Staff had lost our reservation (but managed to pick us up from the airport anyway!). Little service minded in fixing the problem when we arrived. Also the prices had increased since we booked, and the night manager wanted to charge us ekstra. Luckily the day manager was more serviceminded, and everything worked out eventually. All in all, an ok. place to stay

21 January 2011 Chris would recommend this property

17 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Wonderful decor, great terrace with hammocks to laze about in. Breakfast good, fresh bread, jams, coffee, juice, fruit and cereal, with good hours (8-11). Internet connection good, staff helpful and friendly. Nice acoustic nights and great bar food avaliable.

Disliked: We had dorm one, which was next to the bar and a little noisy at times. The rooms on the top floor seem to get ridiculously hot, so we had to sleep with the doors open, not making us feel that secure. Beds were rickety as anything, everytime the person on the top turned over my bed would rock and bang into the wall. Lockers in rooms are very small and mesh, so everything can be seen. This just advertises what you´ve got, surely? Could also do with a table or shelves or something, the other rooms were much nicer in this respect. I don´t think we had a fair deal with dorm one, compared to other rooms. Events wise, the advertised events night (tango lessons, film nights, DJs etc) didn´t seem to happen this week, perhaps not enough people are here? Slightly disappointed in that aspect. But overall a very nice hostel.

Liked: Liked the location of this hostel although you have to be really careful as San Telmo can be a little uneasy. It´s great that it´s so close to San Telmo market and really easy to get around. The hostel was really lovely in a worn way.

Disliked: This sounds like such a girly thing to say but the kitchen was tiny. For a hostel that size it was ridiculous and I think it´s because they had things going on on the roof terrace this was to encourage people to pay to eat their food and join in.

15 January 2011 Rhys would recommend this property

Liked: Nice place. Not too far to the main center of the city, and close to shops and restaurants in San Telmo. Staff were friendly and happy to help with anything you need.

Disliked: No big complaints. Wifi dropped in and out quite a lot, so that could have been better.

14 January 2011

Liked: I loved being so near to San Telmo & quite near to a metro. Was able to check out then sit around until my flight!

Disliked: I would have loved towel & to use the looker in my room. When I arrived I wasn't really told anything other than about tours they get commission on. Nothing about the hostel or not shown around like every other hostel I have stayed in! I had to come back down from my room to double check which was my bed as there were things on all the beds & no bed numbers. I also had to ask about a locker as all had something in & the response was to ask the other girls in the room as hey had no idea but I wanted to lock my passport & computer on that day & did not see the girls until the following morning. Nothing was obvious & everything a chore unless you were best buddies & drank with the staff. Also don't advertise free music on the terrace that you have to listen to & then pass around a hat!

24 December 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: My overall experience was really good. The hostel has a good structure, the bathrooms were clean and the breakfast was pretty reasonable (as I expected for a hostel).

Disliked: I think the staff could be a little nicer, except for Mauro and a blond one, whose name I don't know, who are really nice. The others seemed a little arrogant and helped as an obligation. The street was a little sketchy at night.
