Martin Zapata 155, 5500 Mendoza, Argentina –

Lock in a great price for Gorilla Hostel – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff were excellent. On arrival, they were so accommodating and helpful. The recommendations for the restaurants (Brod - a fabulous choice) and for the excursions (a trip up the Andes on horseback followed by BBQ and the next day, a visit of three different vineyards and distilleries) were incredible. The trip I had thanks to them is something I will always remember. And on leaving the hostel, they were so sweet I got a cookie from them, which for me, made Gorilla Hostel the best place ever to stay !

Emmet, France

The pool and community areas were fantastic and always full of friendly travelers. At one point, we had 9 people from 9 different countries sharing around the outdoor seating. The family-style asado dinner was also a highlight. My favorite excursion to date after ~1 month of traveling was the sunset horseback riding tour through the Andes arranged by the hostel. If I return to Mendoza, I will surely return.

Kathryn, United States of America

It was a great atmosphere and the staff was all very friendly. They offer some great excursion at good prices and are knowledgeable about the local area. The location can’t be beat, just a few blocks from Plaza Italia, Arístides, and the large city park.

Heather, United States of America

Great environment to meet fellow travelers without being a loud party hostel, great location, professional

William, United States of America

This was the best hostel I stayed in on my 6 weeks trip around Latin America in 2018! Belem is the perfect host and goes out of her way to make you feel welcome in her home. Gorilla hostel strikes the perfect balance between relaxation/ downtime and party atmosphere. I met so many cool people here and made friends I will keep in touch with even after my travels have ended. The beds are comfy, the common areas are great (particularly the pool/ outdoor seating/ bbq areas) and there is also a good selection of local wines and beers at reception. If I return to Argentina again in the future I will make sure I pass by the Gorilla hostel. I have already been singing it's praises to other travellers I have met since. Thanks again Belen for making my trip to Mendoza a memorable one!

Timothy, United Kingdom

Dan, China

Eva, Norway

Huge communal space nicely decorated and garden with swimming pool

Twan, Netherlands

The owners are the most kind and helpful people!! They are very knowledgeable able the area and spend a lot of time in helping you to plan your time in Mendoza. On my last day they called a taxi for me, the taxi was taking a very long time to come, the owner was afraid I would miss my bus and personally drove me to the bus terminal! I would have missed my bus if it were not for him. Thank you again! They really make you feel right at home.
