Hostel Lao

Hostel Lao is a chilled traveller’s oasis in the centre of the city. Run like a friend’s house where you can relax and meet people by Argentine-English travellers.

**We save loads of space in dorms and doubles for walkins and Direct Bookings**

Lao is a home; not a factory hostel. Just 24 beds keep things friendly, chilled and clean; Lao is a traveller’s oasis in the middle of a great city. A social, lively home, not a party hostel!

Our home is a 70 year old town house that we have renovated. We have 3 dorms, all equipped with air-con/heaters, a large locker per person, real mattresses, comfy pillows and duvets for winter. Dorms you can sleep well in. We converted the former servant's quarters into 2 cosy doubles sharing a bathroom. Set in the stunning hostel garden surrounded by tropical trees and hammocks, these rooms are ideal for some privacy away from the house. Please note the pool house is not air-conditioned. Finally we opened 2 luxury doubles so couples can enjoy the social atmosphere of a hostel with the comforts of boutique hotel rooms, La Cava and Tango.

Lao also has 2 large comfortable lounges, a wine cellar, a fully equipped kitchen, dinning room, terrace, 2 friendly dogs to play with, a plunge pool, great included breakfast and we serve some free wine! Did we mention the beautiful garden and hammocks?

Our home is the perfect place from which to enjoy the Mendozan summer with large cool communal spaces and garden, double ensuite with air-con, our dorms are also air-conditioned at night and we have a refreshing plunge pool.

To walk to Hostel Lao from the bus station we recommend leaving the Terminal via the underpasses and walking up Allem Street for three blocks before turning left into Rioja Street. After two blocks you will find the Hostel on the left hand side. Or you can take a taxi which should cost no more than AR$7.

Location Information

The house is located in a busy corner of Mendoza within 15 minutes walk of everything so it's ideal for getting to know Mendoza on foot.

Continue on from here to reach plazas España or Independencia and the pedestrian streets. 10 minutes in the other direction and you are in the bus station. In front of the hostel you will find buses to the wine districts. If you want to get off the Gringo Trail just ask us for directions.
