Don t expect to find a great kitchen. The beds are old. The hotel has humidity.

A bit dingy, yes its old and has character but its not charming old, I believe the building is 150 years old and im pretty sure the beds and mattress are the original since then (read: banana shaped iron spring beds). Bathrooms were the only really renovated aspect and they excellent with good hot water. Currently under construction/renovation so maybe in 10 years it will be charming, because its an interesting building in an interesting area. Note San Telmo is boring sunday-wednesday, i mean theres bars open but the vibe is low, but after wed. then it starts to pick up. Hostel offers little tourist assistance and no common areas and the kitchen available is really more for the workers of the hotel. we werent really shown around or facilities explained but reception is nice and helpfull if you prompt them, if not a bit dazed and confused. Is value for money, since it was cheap but i wouldnt stay there without having a look around a couple years into the future.

This property is located right in the heart of San Thelmo, the oldest part of BA where there are a lot of tango shows, markets, wine bars and good bakeries. its also close to the main shopping streets (Av. Florida etc). Some of the rooms have nice balconys. It is quite cold though, we stayed in June.

Great location and low price, that's about it. The shared bathrooms are pretty clean, but the other shared spaces aren't and the beds are old with very old blankets and cheap sheets. Rooms with bath are dank, rooms with balconies are noisy.

Excellent location in the vibrant San Telmo district. Staff is friendly and helpful and maintain a secure building. It is a simple place yet a great deal for the budget traveler.

The hotel is in an excellent part of town and has bags of character with lovely high ceilings and ornate detailing. We stayed here and liked it so much went back on our return to BA. Balcony rooms are noisy, Quiet rooms are to the rear of the hotel. San telmo is a fantastic neighbourhood too. Please note that if you like Fancy or Commercial hotels then I would not recommend this place, but if you like the flaky-paint vibe then go for it!
