GermanyVery lovely and helpful hostel staff. The place is in very good shape and you can see them doing the maintenance on a daily basis. Location is prime and the swimming pool is what you need to cool down after a hot day in Mendoza :)

NetherlandsThis hostel was AMAZING - we stayed for a week and it honestly felt like home. There was such a great atmosphere and it was so easy to meet people. The hostel organised amazing BBQs and the whole hostel would eat together. The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing (even had scrambled eggs). The bar was great and the barman Bruno made amazing drinks. The owner Mathias was so friendly and gave us lots of tips about things to do in the area. The weather wasn’t great while we were there but it was a lovely hostel to chill in and watch Netflix - very comfortable.
IrelandGreat place with nice people, Melina actually was super friendly to me so shoutouts to her!
