The stay was very good, the people are (those who work and stay too) very friendly and they have a lot of security which makes you feel at ease.Excellent attention and respect. Highly recommended in a very quiet area and the reception from the receptionists was very cordial. Federico especially helped me with a bus ticket and a reservation for Brazil. Thank you so muchExcellent location, cleanliness, good team, staff...I'll be back next time without a doubt 👍🏼👍🏼Great place to stay, they deliver what they promise. Good location, streets you can walk on at any time of the day. Upon arrival, you walk into a reception area filled with warm, smiling people and the smell of fresh coffee, offered in the lounge area equipped with comfy couches, seats, and tables. You can also relax there if you arrive before check-in time.The hostel is located in what must have been a gorgeous building in its heyday, with long white marble stairs leading to a comfy coworking area with a good internet connection. The network name and password are displayed at every corner of the hostel, including the kitchen and other common areas.It's luminous, with an internal patio and a terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped. They also manage a WhatsApp group to coordinate extra activities, ranging from dancing tango to watching a movie or playing board games. The staff is proficient in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I heard French as well, and some other language. There's no way staying at this place can go wrong.I stayed in a shared female room for 4 occupants. The room had 1 bathroom, a set of lockers, a small table, a couple of chairs placed by the window and in front of a large mirror. The only minor inconvenience I had was with the electric plugs. When I arrived, I had a meeting in the kitchen, which was the first place I found a 3-prong plug to hook up my laptop lol. Later, I found a couple more in the coworking area, but not in the bedroom. I'm definitely coming back next time I visit Buenos Aires.Thank you Fede and the rest of team 😀I completely loved my stay, I got the recommendation for one page, the price was great, the place was super cozy, complete, I met many people from many places in the world, it is close to many things! Many bars, kiosks, the Paseo, beautiful, cozy and super equipped rooms, I will return without a doubt.Excellent location. A very clean, spacious and fresh place.The attention was good, friendly and respectful. The girl at the reception was always very serious and attentive.Recommended to rest.Over the weekend we were with a group of students. I appreciate the good attention and kindness towards us. We arrived very early and they gave us a room available to store our luggage and change. They stored our luggage for us when we were leaving, allowing us to stay in the spaces without problems until late.The spaces are very nice, comfortable, clean and suitable for meetings. The boys even used the work space.The rooms are very comfortable, they were clean and I appreciate the manager's willingness to accommodate us.In general good but the girl at the reception, both in the payment of the room and in the return of the deposit that they ask for the room key, tried to deceive us, she did not propose the most economical payment option, confusing us quite a bit. the time to pay, and if we did not demand the deposit for the return of the key, he would not have returned it to us.It's the third time I've stayed. It's good, pretty and cheap. It's good more than anything because of the location. The internet on the upper floors sometimes cuts out but then the place is ideal to be in a nice area, in a nice environment without being charged a fortune, I would return without a doubt.I leave you 5 stars because it fulfills everything it promises and one requires from a Hostel: clean sheets, good location, quiet place to rest (there are signs showing times to be in certain areas and the kitchen closes at 11 pm which makes it difficult to that time the Hostel is quiet). Everything is super clear with signs, the attention is good, it has a PC in case you need to consult some things (I specified it and it helped me). It has many bathrooms but they are small. The kitchen is also relatively small although it has everything you need. It is a kind of three-story chorizo house so the common areas are not super spacious but the huge terrace and small internal patios make up for it.If you book through WhatsApp you will probably get a better price. I also saw that in theory by booking through their own website you get 15%, no idea. It cost us 16 thousand per night per person in a shared room with a bathroom (in the end, since we were a family group, we had the key to the room so it worked as a private room).They have activities for guests (movie night, tango class, yoga).Room for improvement: Although everything is clean, being an old house it is true that there are some minor aesthetic details such as the old floor stained with wax, the bathrooms with a little tartar, etc. Things that have nothing to do with daily hygiene but with requiring deep cleaning.We went with a contingent of teachers and students from Entre Ríos, we were 40 people. And they placed us all perfectly. The hostel has many rooms with their private bathroom, it has a comfortable living room. A spacious kitchen. And large internal patio. Everything very clean and tidy. In the morning you can have a self-service coffee. The location is incredible, in Palermo Soho, within reach of everything. Plaza Serrano is a few blocks away and 20 meters away you have the Shooping Distrito Arcos. The Hostel has activities such as Spanish Lessons for foreigners and community barbecues.I had thought about not returning because of a previous bad experience, but I came back because of the location and because I thought something had changed, but I was wrong. In the rooms there is almost no Wi-Fi signal and little phone signal, the sheets were damp and had a used smell. Extremely expensive for what the hostel is, at least the "Play Arcos". I don't recommend it at all, there are others cheaper or at the same price, but better in the same area. The attention is good, the kids do what they can with what they have. Only thanks to them. I'm never coming back.I had to go to the embassy. The location is excellent if you have to do that procedure. Very close to the subway, quiet and beautiful area. The Hostel inside, very comfortable and beautiful.I had to go to the US embassy. I was able to walk and discover a lot of places nearby to visit and walk. Very cute, comfortable and excellent service!The best location in Palermo. Clean hostel and very attentive local people. I recommend!Very comfortable location, close to the subway line, buses and train station, close to recreation places. The kindness of the guys is excellent. The hostel is very pleasant in its facilities. We stopped in a single room with a private bathroom.Excellent atmosphere, beautiful location and tranquility. Highly recommended for all types of procedures. Congratulations !!!Very good location! Comfortable, good service and above all good price. Impeccable bathroomsThe only good thing is the location, terrible attention, terrible manners of the people who work, they taught us to say please, good morning or thank you. The worst hostel I went to in Buenos AiresGood place if you like to save money, since it is a hostel, but what I liked is that it has activities.We only got to leave suitcases in storage, they helped us a lot and were very attentive (the storage has a cost).Very good location and attention from the employees! The activities are also very good, Guido is a genius! Predisposed and makes delicious drinks! 👏🏽Excellent for its location. Room according to the price. I highlight the attention and resolution of problems at the time.The place is called Hostel Palermo Suites on Agoda and there was some confusion when checking in because of that. Otherwise it was a fine hostel with all the basic amenities. Have to put a deposit of 2000 when taking towels.Very friendly staff but the accommodation is very very expensive for what it offers. For one night it is an excessive price, 40 dollars.Dirty and old rooms, single beds between very and too small. Noisy hot air pump. It needs a good facelift and update. There was no hot water in the shower, so the next day they replied that there was a trick…. Really? In Spain this is not considered old or vintage but rather rancid. We will neither recommend nor return.Flawless. Economical and very good service. I hope to return. Very prettyWe stayed at their Sister hostel called Hostel Play Garden, located nearby and has only just opened.Really great decor and friendly staff. Rooms were themed and had QR codes to playlists associated with the room.Guido, a guide was really helpful. We went in his cycle tour. He was really enthusiastic about the areas he took us. The following day, he got us tickets and took us to a football match. He couldn’t have been more helpful. Recommend the hostel and Guido+++Excellent atention. We did a Mate Tasting at the hostel and we loved it.Unpleasant staff as possible, both night and day, a barbecue that we were not allowed to use... you would also pay twice the price indicated on platforms like hostelworld or booking because they use the blue rate , which therefore forces you to pay in euros or dollars in cash.Very very humid rooms, and uncomfortable beds..Usually I only leave good reviews, but here…I do not recommend this hostel.A clean place with a well-stocked kitchen and lovely people... there are always group initiatives to share fun moments! It's Guido's super barbecue on Saturdays which makes the place more and more pleasant.... Thank youAll 10, location, rooms, price-quality, the staff rocks everything, always with all the good vibes and super helpful. Excellent place, I would definitely stay again.Excellent place to stay when visiting Baires!! I had a lot of Fun!Guido a genius!!!In 7 month of travelling the worst hostel i went to.Everything is horribleThe staff,room and specially the cleanlinessThe bathroom are so dirty that you dont want to take a showerThe hostel have zero ambiancePlease dont go thereExcellent location! The place is very good, with extensive facilities, enough bathrooms and constant cleaning. The size of the rooms is adequate, even the shared one for four people.The service provided by the staff is excellent, very attentive and available 24 hours a day. The only thing they would have to improve is the availability of WiFi: the signal range is insufficient and the speed is quite poor, which makes it a service that cannot be used at all.Everything else impeccable!!Super safe, comfortable, those who serve are very friendly and willing. I always choose it first because they take care of their guests, they worry and make sure it is a safe place.The location was very good for me, close to the North American embassy and the CAS, also in La Rural.The hostel is a pleasant place, run by warm and supportive people.I took a double room, simple, modest, the mattress very comfortable, the sheets impeccable, as well as blankets and pillows. The bathroom is not luxurious but basic, impeccable and not at all unpleasant. For breakfast they offer you a delicious coffee to taste or whatever you want to serve yourself (tea, mate, etc., not things to eat), it also has the kitchen where you prepare what you want.To complete a two-day procedure, it was a very practical place for me.All at a very good price.Excellent location, beautiful common areas. The style of the rooms needs to be reviewedEverything as expected, price-quality ratio. Friendly staff, clean place, strategic location.By far the dirtiest accomodation I've ever stayed at. The place was unhygienic, it had mold and hair in places there should not be. It's cramped for average to large people. My food was stolen daily. There was a constant grime and moisture on everything. This place was a certain type of hole, but they had hot water, and semi clean sheets.The location of the hostel is excellent, close to the heart of Palermo but also close to the metro which takes you to the center in a short time. The spaces are kept quite well and the environment found was very pleasant, Guido, one of the staff, organized many events and created a nice group. Perfect for solo travellers.To the CAGON who is dedicated to folding the license plates of the vehicles that are parked at the door of the little hotel that I was located in, because sooner or later he is going to get a nice surprise... the first one will let you know...If you don't want them to park at the door, let them know, you don't have to damage private property because that will have consequences...Private room for 50 usd seems very expensive to me. Very small bathroom. Lots of noise, the most expensive room (being private) is in front of the kitchen and the window overlooks a patio, which was shouted in all languages until late hours, my flight left very early and I couldn't rest.Good air conditioning, excellent location Open 24 hours.Excellent price-quality ratio. Hostel where you feel at home, thank you Guido for accompanying travelers with so much charisma. In my case I went for a procedure but I was also able to enjoy it and I wanted to stay a few more days. I will surely return.The place is very well located, everything is very close!! The mother's girl is very kind and always ready for everything!! 🙂…the room needed one more quilt because of how cold it was and the heater was not enough, thank you for everything!! 🤗Very good location to do procedures. The facilities are old and that gives it a different façade, in my opinion, spectacular!!The service is charming, very polite, cordial and attentive. They made me feel super calm (due to a personal problem I had).Would go again? Of course, highly highly recommended⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Super nice hostel in the heart of Palermo neighborhood. The staff is great and very helpful for everything. Special thanks to Guido who organised for the guest an "asado evening with red wine" wich was a top notch! Very clean and cosy hostel with comfy beds and well equipped kitchen, so you can cook by yourself if you want. Highly reccomended!
