Liked: Great facilities and room - stayed in a private room with en-suite so more a hotel than hostel but has an outdoor pool, pool table, bar and tv lounge area to hang out in.

Disliked: The atmosphere wasn't as lively as some other hostels as there were many different types of people staying there, from families with young children, people on business as well as your usual backpacking travellers. But was good to stay at a hostel with a wider range of guests.

Liked: Extremely clean and well kept. We had a private ensuite double, and it was more like a hotel than a hostel. The cleaners came everyday. Breakfast was nice (pastries, juice, fruit & bread) Free pool table. Really nice swimming pool which turned into a jaccuzzi at night. Good location in San Telmo, close to everything.

Disliked: We had some trouble with the room tab system that they have here - drinks and restaurant meals that weren´t ours appeared on our room tabs. we assumed it was the work of some sneaky hotel guests giving the wrong room number, until one of the waiters approached us and insisted he had served us the food the night before (he hadn´t!!) luckily the manager took our word for it. --I´m sure it was all a mistake, but just keep an eye on your room tab!!

Liked: Clean and modern- feels more like a hotel which was a nice change. Good bathroom facilities and bedding and air con were fantastic

Disliked: I booked a 4 bed dorm online. they were not able to allocate room pref using the online booking system- the need to address this as they are aware of it. Security was very bad. 6 bed dorm with 4 lockers- my sunglasses went missing in the room. Real shame. If they are going to jam 2 extra beds in they need to provide 2 extra lockers- the hostel is very anonymous unlike other hostels and same level of trust does not exist. Also very tight space- impossible to swing a cat.

Liked: Clean and modern, comfy beds and good showers. Nice to have a pool too!

Disliked: Not able to bring in food and drinks is a little inconvenient, especially as a wine drinker. Also, not enough keys for the dorms, and one night we had to wake up our roomates to let us in!

Liked: Great outdoor area with pool to relax and also the restaurant was good value and reasonably priced.

Disliked: Didn't seem like a great atmosphere to meet other travellers if you are on your own. Be good if they organized BBQ or bar crawl or some type of events so people can get to know one another.
