15 May 2011 Hanne would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was very very friendly, I arrived one day late and they did not charge me for the lost night, although I had booked it; the breakfast was almost all day long. The location is super.

Disliked: The common spaces were a bit small and not many bathrooms.

15 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good location, nice roof terrace.

Disliked: Breakfast was very standard (just bread rolls and some pastries). The people we met were nice, but no one seemed interested in leaving the hostel - a good place to go if you're happy to sit around all day, but not so great if you exchange tips on what to see in the city.

Liked: Staff were very helpful and the atmosphere was great. All the people there were very friendly and that made my stay enjoyable.

Disliked: Sometimes the shower was a little on cold side.

02 May 2011 Leo would recommend this property

Liked: This was one of the best hostels we have stayed in! They let us check in early after a long bus ride, which was really appreciated! All the staff were helpful, and spoke great English which was really helpful. They also organised a skydiving trip which was convenient and saved us a bit of money in the process. The owner is a really nice guy who is interested in where you are from and making your stay comfortable. Our room was an absolute palace; when we walked in we thought it was a common room! We had a kitchen, a lounge room, a TV room, a bedroom and a bathroom, it even had bean bags so we could watch movies in comfort. It was great value for money, I would definitely recommend Baluch Backpackers to anybody travelling through Cordoba.

Disliked: Nada!

28 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were very nice and helpful. They put on an excellent choripan night while I was there and a had surplus of the sausage sandwiches along with all you could drink wine. A great deal for just 30 pesos. The place was clean and the common and rooftop areas were comfortable.

Disliked: Israeli's are annoying but that's hardly the hostel's fault.

Liked: Small, great atmosphere. The roof top bar/patio area is great for nights in!

Disliked: At night, the street that the hostel is located on can be a little scary. As there's no street lights.

01 March 2011 James would recommend this property

Liked: Fantastic atmosphere, very well laid out, big kitchen, good breakfast with Bread and Pastries. The pastries seemed to change day to day, which was nice. The staff here were amazing, really helpful, always making sure we were happy and making the most of the stay. The Friday BBQ was amazing, great food, free wine, and the perfect way to meet everyone staying there. We stayed in a 6 bed dorm, which was spacious and cleaned everyday.

Disliked: Cant think of anything...

Disliked: bit sort of showers and toilets but not too bigger deal. kitchen very small.

19 February 2011

Liked: We were booked in for 4 nights, but only stayed 1. We moved to a much much better hostel, in a better area, which was cheaper. The only good thing about this hostel is that the reception staff didn't give us any grief about moving.

Disliked: We were really disappointed by this place. The hostel felt very cramped, common areas are small as are the dorms. The whole place feels very run down and uncared for - in definite need of redecorating. The roof terrace is not like the photos, the floor is coming up and all the tables and chairs are dirty. The kitchen was small and dirty. The location isn't great - it's on a tatty shopping street so very noisy during the day and felt dodgy at night. Nueva Cordoba is a much better and prettier location. After 5 weeks travelling, this is the worst hostel we've stayed in.

01 February 2011 Magnhild would recommend this property

Liked: A very friendly and helpful staff, always there for you whatever you needed - they even wake you up in the morning if needed! Excellent common areas with everything that you could ever need (Internet, books, guitar, TV+dvd's etc.). A spacious and fully equipped kitchen. A huge rooftop hangout-area with barbeque and music. Great location, walking distance to everything in the citycentre. This hostel was extremely good!

Disliked: Nothing AT ALL!

30 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was super friendly and helpful. The hostel has great facilities with large kitchen and common area. I arrived very early on a night bus and they let me have my bed at 7am since it was free, so I got a little more sleep. I also left on a night, and they let me use the kitchen and showers all day before I left. Very accomodating.

Disliked: It's a bit far from the bus station, but close to the centre, so the location is good, but could be better. That said, a taxi to the bus station costs only 8 pesos, so it's not really that far.

25 January 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: There were different places in the house (rooms and a terrace) where you could stay and have some beer. The staff were very kind and helpful. And the beer was cheap.

Disliked: Everything was nice.
