Liked: A reasonably prized hostel in a good location (SanTelmo and very close to Plaza de Mayo. However it didn't have the homely feel I had in other hostels in Argentina. It was large and dark. The staf however was friendly.

Disliked: Large and dark. The shared bathrooms don't have any place where you can put your clothes.

Liked: Unique and original hostel, with colorful murals and a great rooftop terrace. It was my favourite hostel in Buenos Aires. Had livemusic on one evening which was awesome. Staff was helpful, facilities and rooms were clean. Loved the old building with its high ceilings, although therefore most rooms do not have windows.

Disliked: Rooms can get very hot in summer. Kitchen could be better equipped (salt was the only "spice" they had and plates and pots were scarce).

Liked: The reception and bar staff were so much fun and very helpful. The atmosphere was also great - I felt at home by day one. The terrace and hammocks were a great place to meet New people or just to chill out. They also had eggs at breakfast!

Disliked: Some of the cleaning/waiting staff weren't helpful. The upstairs women's showers never had hot water and the locker space was very small.

Liked: Having come from Milhouse Avenue, and all its huge parties, I was very glad that this hostel was chilled in comparison. Which is not to say that there´s nothing happening, but just that everyone here is a bit more laid back. This hostel attracts a more eclectic and I would say, interesting, crowd than Milhouse. I think the staff is above all the best thing about the property and they really make an effort to socialise with you.

Disliked: Bathrooms could be a bit bigger and more private, but this is a small point. Also the lockers in some of the dorms are very small and not of a great design.

Liked: I love the layout of the building inside. It has an incredibly special character about it and the terrace is great. I also loved that I was offered scrambled eggs for breakfast!!!! The first time in 5 months of travelling that I`ve had a cokked breakfast in a hostel!!!

Disliked: The only thing that was a bit awkward was the showers. There is nowhere to leave your things without them getting wet. This is a very very small issue though and everything else was great.
