Liked: The closets are full sized and the location is wonderful.

Disliked: Staff doesn't do a good job checking in. Not informative or helpful. We were not told about services offered like organized trips. We were also not told that dinner was included or that you can ask for a key to lock the lockers. Bunk beds lack shelf and ladder. At one point in time there were five people in our room with four beds.

Liked: Booked a dorm here, was expecting a 8 bed dorm and got a double room shared with another girl with our own bathroom and TV. It was fantastic! Wonderful location. Can easily walk to bus station and the lake. Breakfast decent as well. Would recommend staying here.

Disliked: A bit difficult to meet people here if you travelling by yourself but then again I was here in low season.

Liked: Okay guys, read this if you want the real deal. The hostel is unique. The absolute best place to meet people and have fun while experiencing the best of San Martín via the guided tours they offer. This place is perfect, very friendly and connecting, young staff, VERY good dinner which is surprisingly enough also included in the very acceptable price.

Disliked: If anything, the vegetarian alternative they offered was not that incredible. That is not uncommon in Argentina though, due to their beef-eating lifestyle.

Liked: Beds really comfortable, dinner provided (though a bit spartan) was a great and easy way of initiating conversation for solo travelers like myself! The trips organised were reasonably enough priced but more importantly a very easy way of seeing the surrounding landscape and meeting other people (one trip to Hua Hue cost less than the ferry fare alone, so that was good). Also one last bit of advice, although you're not meant to be able to bring your own beer, I conveniently didn't see the sign saying so and they let me be, which is a massive bonus as you have to pay twice as much to buy a bottle there. They're friendly people - but get your own beer and act ignorant/apologetic Close to the bus station and the path up to the Mirador.

Disliked: Communal toilet/shower rooms were pretty horrible, but not the worst. Also my washbag was stolen which may or may not have represented the security of the place (everyone seemed friendly enough). Breakfast was really crappy. Almost entirely argentinians stay there as well, which is handy if you want to practice the language, but disastrous if you can't speak it.
