Very good,
Score from 72 reviews
“ DEFINITELY more of a hotel than a hostel. Fantastic staff! Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. GREAT breakfast (fresh orange juice...unheard of!!). The location was great, 2 blocks from the metro. The bathrooms, though shared, are all updated and new. I was very impressed with the granite! ”

Its amazing hotel, they take care of it with love. Every morning fresh juice and home baked cakes. Good location, amazing staff and owners. I will come back! Majitelka Ines mluvi cesky, je moc hodna a s cechy si rada popovida. San Telmo can be little bit dangerous after dark. Don't walk there alone in night.

The hotel is clean, well-mantained and also secure. Location was very good, with transportation systems at hand: metro, bus, etc. Personal were kind, prestative and motivated to help. Rooms are quite big and well- equipped. Kitchen is available and with complete stuff. Breakfast was good and buffet like, but it could just include some more fruits, ham/cheese, instead of pastery variety. No elevator to the 2nd floor.

Nice little hotel in the center of San Telmo. Clean and safe, 5 minutes walk to subway station and 20-25 minutes walk to Center. Friendly and helpful hotel personnel. Delicious breakfast with croissants, cakes coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Safety box in each room and even bathrobs. Guests of this hotel are mostly matures adults ( late 20 and up). I am planning to stay in this hotel again. Noise from outside and adjasent room (but I got used to it in few days)

I liked everything about this hotel! I stayed here for about a week. I have been travelling for 6 months now and this is the best one I have found - comfortable, peaceful, decent sized rooms, great location (San Telmo - short walk to Plaza Dorrego, next to a metro stop). Breakfast is nice! They bake cakes every day! And most of all THE STAFF are so lovely, from the housekeepers, to the receptionists, to the owner, who is always around and seems to really want people to feel comfortable and welcomed. I felt sad when I had to leave!

Simply the best choice in Buenos Aires! Extremly helpfull staff, very clean rooms, nice clean common bathrooms with hot water anytime. Great various breakfast. Functional WiFi and perfect location just few steps from the main square and Metro station. Extra: safes in the room, possibility of BBQ on the roof of the hostel. Pro česky mluvící: majitelka částečně hovoří česky - ptejte se po paní Ines, ráda vám se vším pomůže

Most of the staff don't speak english, and the one who did speak english was really rude. Apart from charging you 21% for tax they also charge you an extra 15% for paying by credit card. When I asked them to book a taxi to go to the airport they called a non-authorised taxi driver who tried to charge me twice than the normal fare. Furthermore this should not be listed as a hostel but as a hotel. There is no area where you can chill out and meet other fellow travellers. I would definately not recommended this place.

It is in an excellent location. The hotel staff are all very pleasant. For what i pay, i am quite happy with the room, it offers privacy and is clean. Room is serviced every day. The breakfast is also great, which runs from 7am till almost midday. And they have coffee, tea, fruits, cereal available all day for the guests, which i think is quite generous. Can't complain.

The staff was really helpful, and the room was good. It is very close to the subway station, and the sunday's San Telmo Street Market. The breakfast was simple but very good. I had a closet which I didn't get to use but I guess it's very good for those who brings big bags and wants to shop in BsAs. My room was isolated from the building and I thought it was quite a weird feeling. They say there is Wifi connection, but the signal only gets to the first floor.

Friendly and prestative personnel; individual wardrobes with keys and locker; renewed and clean bathrooms; breakfast can be taken up to 11am. The private badroom with private bathroom is not as good as the shared ones, it's really small and oppressive, with a lot of umidity. Thats why I've changed during my stay from a private to a shared room, and it whas really a better choice.

My second stay here: the staff are very friendly and helpful. The location, near 9 de Julio in San Telmo is suberb. The private rooms are clean and comfortable (You even get a bathrobe!) as are the bathrooms. The breakfast offers a good selection. Noise does carry up the stairs and from neighboring rooms.

A rare surprise! Nice staff very friendly for a great value for money bedroom. The hotel was very clean and very quiet being in San Telmo. Air conditioning in the room, wonderful all new and clean shared-bathroom. Cherry on the cake: a nice breakfast with croissants, dulce de leche, orange juice and coffee. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is an excellent hostel! The staff are great! They are very welcoming, pleasant, and efficient. In the morning they had beautiful light breakfast with medialunas, fruit, cafe, and fresh squeezed juego de naranja. This was my first time in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and this hostel was my refuge after my adventures of the day for nearly three weeks. The last 5 days were unplanned for me as I was trying to fly back to Los Estados Unidos on a standby ticket. So, I would come back like a boomerang, which we all found quite amusing. I highly recommend this hostel and wonderful staff!!

This was a real find. Highly recommended. Helpful staff, excellent location, nice setup for breakfast with a number of choices. I had an interior private room on a small courtyard, so no street noise. You can walk most places from here: it's close to 9 de Julio but nicely tucked into San Telmo.

Se podía usar internet en el lobby del hostal, tenían sus propios ordenadores disponibles para los huéspedes. Genial! Me han hecho cambiar a una habitación inferior en calidad y comodidad en el último día. Inaceptable.
