The guy at check in was telling me about all these activities they did. Parties, tango classes, walking tours, biking, all the tours you could take, anything you wanted to do in the city basically they could arrange for you. My disappointment was on the facility. I stayed in an all female room, looked pretty good. Standard bed, plenty of storage for your stuff and one bathroom per room. However, our bathroom was very dirty and our room very very noisy. It faces the front and you could hear party until 4am and by 5am all the traffic and cars. Another thing I didn't like was they don't provide towels they do give you clean sheets for you to change though. The internet in the rooms is pretty much non existent. Smoke from cigarettes could get into the room from the windows.

*Note: This is late 2013*…read more I paid about 90pesos per night on weeknights and 96 on weekends in the 8-person mixed bedroom. I requested that room because I was staying for a whole MONTH and there are only 2 non-private rooms with air conditioning (room 3 and room 4). Air conditioning is turned on only from 10pm-10am, which by the end wasn't working for me because I was on a vampire sleeping schedule. During the time I was there, the wifi went off maybe 10 times (luckily there's wifi at the cafe/bar across the street), and the electricity went out 3-4 times (once for more than 24 hours). Apparently this is "common" for summertime in Buenos Aires, but the heat was sometimes too uncomfortable for sleeping. People were mostly very friendly. Lots of travelers from all over the world and the staff was amazing depending on who was at the door. I had the most positive experiences with staff members William and Eduardo, both of who would be great assets to any customer service job (professional AND friendly). At some point during my stay the price went up to 108pesos, even though I had reserved the space a month in advance. Nobody had explained that to me, so I paid more than I originally thought I would. I was not happy about this. They should have mentioned this in the beginning. The hostel is clean---there are maids who clean the rooms, all the bathrooms, and kitchen every day. Whatever messes are made on the very same day by the occupants. The beds are noisy. The ladders bang VERY loudly against the bed. I was lucky enough to have very nice/considerate roommates for most of my stay. I only really had a problem at the very end, when 7 brazilian boys moved into the 8-person room. They were best friends and chatted loudly in the room all the time, taking noise levels up to party proportions, even when I was sleeping. I asked them to take the noise outside a couple of times, and in the end just gave up and moved out 3 days early. If I come back to Buenos Aires again I would ONLY stay here if I need a couple of days, but I will NEVER stay here for more than a week again. Had the Brazilians Besties not stayed in my room for the last few days, I would have had a MUCH more positive experience. Strangers are usually very respectful, but in a hostel you never know who you'd get. **One night I came back at around 5 in the morning and NOBODY was there to open the door. I had to ring the doorbell and yell for 20 minutes before the door girl (girl with short dark hair) came down, angrily telling me that of course she heard me; how could I make so much noise, she was working upstairs, can't you be more patient?!!! I'd never heard of a hostel that wouldn't let their guests in because they were "busy working", and then yell at the guests for ringing the doorbell BECAUSE THEY WERE LOCKED OUT. If she is working the night shift there again I would not go back for fear that I'd get locked out again.** **TIPS** -Rooms 3 and 4 are the only group rooms with Air Conditioning. After a shower in room 4 leave the bathroom door to the hallway open so that the room doesn't get humid and mildewy later. -Get up early if you want fruit. There will be one bowl of chopped fruit, no matter how many people are staying in the hostel.

We were in the main floor room, 4 beds with a private bathroom. The bedding and pillows are absolutely horrible here - sorry guys - let's replace those. Otherwise the room was pretty standard. The rest of the rooms are located upstairs and much better, avoid the main floor room if possible - it gets a lot of noise in the morning as it's next to the kitchen. They have a wonderful modern kitchen here to use. The breakfast was lame but it's a great facility to cook your own stuff. The upstairs roof patio is cool. The other shared space in the reception is small but functional. Reception was ok - guys were friendly, spoke basic English. They didn't do a good job of being helpful with thing to do in buenos aires or inform us about tours, we had to plan that on our own. The hostel is located in Palermo. It's a one kilometre walk or so to the nearest subway. People like Palermo as it's a hipster neighbourhood but truthfully next time I would prefer to stay closer to the centre as it makes transport a bit easier.
