The only thing I didn't like about this hostel was unfortunately the staff member I interacted with most often (afternoon and evenings) was very rude, unfriendly and dismissive. I didn't see him smile once! It was a shame because otherwise the hostel was great but because of his rudeness, it changed the experience for me. A friend I was travelling with interacted with a female staff member in the morning and had a much more positive experience.
Great location. Extremely clean. Best breakfast I've had in Argentina. Comfy beds.

There's only 1 toilet and competition is fierce. The showers need racks to hang up towels/clothing. Since there are a lot of backpackers going through here, having extra lockers would be nice.
The price for a bed was really good. The beds were comfortable.

I was really disappointed with this hostel. Despite my reservation they charge 10% to pay by card (if you pay by cash you have to pay the VAT) and then use their own exchange rate of the peso vs USD. So altogether my rate was different to my reservation. Whilst they claim this happens everywhere in Argentina this is definitely not the case. There are two toilets for all the guests, the rooms are dark and small with no window for fresh air. Some of the staff were super helpful, others borderline rude.
The communal area is comfortable, bright and cheery

1. It charges tax (the only hostel during my 20days traveling in Argentina) if you pay cash, you can avoid the tax if you pay by credit card but they charge 10% as commission fee. 2. The official vende exchange rate for USD was about 36.5 on the day I arrived, but they take 40. 3. No cooking oil in the kitchen.
location, early breakfast, they can help book bus and price is fair

I've been eaten alive by bed bugs while staying in the first room on the left. In general the overall cleanliness could have been better. Some of the stuff could have had a nicer attitude.
The location, breakfast was simple but good.

Breakfast was a little difficult with so many guests and only a small kitchen. Not enough plates/bowls etc for the number of guests. Didn't like that even though we had a private room you were asked to give your key to reception every time you were going out.
Great location, friendly staff.
