A good hostel conveniently located in Recoleta BA.

I found the hostel to be very conveniently located in Recoleta area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The staff were friendly and helpful. Also excellent value especially in Buenos Aires. There was breakfast provided in the mornings also, which included the traditional Dulce de Leche which I enjoyed. Many thanks....

Great location but basic room

Nice hostel, pictures are a little misleading, expect very basic hostel accomodation. However location was FANTASTIC! Close to lots of tourist things,eg Eva Peron grave, and the most fantastic theatre that is now a bookstore. Good restaurants surrounding.

It could be a gem if....

The owner was serious about repairing and upgrading this wonderfully located place. On the positive side: Location, staff friendliness, safety. On the negative side: do not expect a quiet room because if your next wall neighbor does not snore, you will probably wake up most of the place by simply walking on floors designed to sound like crackling drums and doors that are equally noisy. The plumbing is marginal and the breakfast so slim you better go across the street to purchase your croissants. Add to this an important detail: Hotel.com listed this place as having complimentary bikes and it was the main reason we chose this hotel. Well, do not count on seeing or having any access to bikes because they do not exist at this hotel. Perhaps some of this information should be verified first.

Todo diferente respecto de la reserva

El hostel que habia reservado, estaba de refacciones. Nadie me avisó. Cuando llegué, habia un cartel que avisaba que teniamos que dirigirnos a otro a cuatro cuadras. No encontraban la reserva, cuando la encontraron nos dieron una habitacion con una cama (reserva para dos personas). Luego nos dieron otra habitacion para una persona. Finalmente no tenia desayuno, la reserva era con desayuno. O sea todo cambiado. Muy disconforme

El hotel está cerrado por reformas

Reservé el hotel y me cobraron y confirmaron en el día. Cuando llegué, había un cartel pegado sobre la pared que estaba cerrado por remodelaciones y que me dirigiera a otro hotel cercano (Patios de Recoleta) si tenía reserva. Fui a Patios de Recoleta y no tenían habitación, así que me mandaron a otro hotel de Marcelo T y Riobamba. Un desastre son, muy irresponsables. Casi duermo en la calle

Péssima experiência

Ligamos diversas vezes e o hotel não atendia ao único número disponibilizado, nem respondia aos e-mails. No dia da viagem enviaram um e-mail dizendo que nos trocaram para outro hostel, supostamente de melhor qualidade, sem prévio contato ou anuência de nossa parte. Chegando lá nos colocaram num quarto duplo e não quádruplo, que mal cabiam as camas. Depois de reclamar nos trocaram para um quadruplo com a janela quebrada e cheiro de cigarro. O café da manhã que estava incluído na reserva não foi disponibilizado. Pedimos para agendar um táxi para o aeroporto para a manhã seguinte, o recepcionista disse que estava ok, mas na hora de sair para o aeroporto tivemos a desagradável surpresa de saber que o táxi não havia sido agendado. Apesar de tudo conseguimos pegar o vôo.

Friendly Service, room needs renovation

Nice Service, young crew: very friendly and helpful! Coffee and toast in hostel manner as a good start in a day. For more there are many cafes and a teahouse around . The room (double, souterrain) was poor:constantly stinky due to a former flooding, destroying the lower parts of the wooden door i.e., rusty inventar in the bathroom.

Não gostei

Hostel muito bem localizado próximo a ponto de ônibus e metro. Somente indicaria se você for ficar 1 ou 2 noites. Minha permanência foi de 4 dias, ja estava começando a ficar com dor nas costas por causas do colchão que era muito velho, mas tão velho q haviam 2 colchões pra poder dar um. A limpeza do quarto estava ok. Mas A cozinha era algo nojento de ser ver, no armário havia teias de aranha e baratas mortas, a bucha da pia ja estava extremamente usada e não dava pra limpar direito os utensílios, o armário estava sujo, enfim nao tive coragem de usar a cozinha, o banheiro do segundo andar tem uma cortina na area do chuveiro que esta podre de sujeira, é algo que nao custa caro e por desleixo parece que nunca foi trocado . A recepção foi ótima , o ventilador do meu quarto estava quebrado, falei com o recepcionista que logo me entregou outro ventilador, fiz check in sem nenhum problema os funcionários sao excelentes. O que estragou foram esses pontos que mencionei de limpeza e conforto e que considero fundamentais. Sempre procuro por hospedagem baratas, ja me hospedei em várias, mas essa foi a unica estadia que nao valeu a pena ... não voltaria
