눉Locks on lockers broken off, worst bed in Argentina. Cold rooms, 4 bed dorm was seperated from another only partially. Couches were a joke, no real confortable place to hang out. Rooms smelt funny. There are certainly better hotel options similarly priced.
눇I like the area of San Telemo in general. Cheap places to eat nearby.

눉It's definitely one of the dirtiest hostels I've stayed in. Toilet paper was missing very often, the water was dripping from the ceiling when it was raining. The rooms and bathrooms don't smell too nicely.

“Bed bugs crap facilities”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 6 nights

눉We stayed in a private room which was at the side of building and was a triple. We changed beds on second night as mattress was terrible and woke up with bed bug bites all over us. I told the woman working and she claimed it couldn't be becuase they had disinfected the beds. But bed bugs are notoriously hard to get rid of and some bleach wont do the trick. They let us change room, but what if they had no availablity? We would have to find another and lost the money for remaining nights as no refund was forthcoming. Further the mens bathroom looked like something from a construction site and the kitchen is tiny and dark. It's a great location but facilities are dire. For a little bit extra you can find much better in same area. Dont stay here unless you come first and see if beds/facilities have been updated.

눉I have my electric power's connector stolen for two times. If you don't want to be blamed as a theft or be stolen your things, please don't select this cheapest hostel. There is a painted picture of lady's nude body in ladies dormitory and ladies shower room has skeleton curtains. I can recommend this hostel only to someone who has no hesitation.

“Bed bugs! ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Triple Room with Shared Bathroom
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉I usually never write bad reviews and this is my fist one. We booked a triple room at this hostel for 4 nights. The room had high ceiling, a balcony and 3 double beds, it was great. But after first night we woke up all swollen (even my eye was swollen), after inspecting ourselfs we quickly realised that it's bed bugs. Me and my boyfriend are very allergic, so it looked horrible. We had about 20 bites each!! (I've been bitten many times before, but never that bad.) So we went downstairs, showed the bites and kindly asked for the money back and said that we want to move out, unfortunatelly the owner refused to gives us anything! He didn't even say sorry and was all shaky like he was a drug addict. He is a very unpleasant man! So all he did, he let us change the room. (All the other rooms are quite horrible in this hostel) Also 2 fully equiped kitchens are not equiped at all. My advice is: do not stay at this hostel!
