Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This hostel was one of my best hostels in South America. The staff is very friedly and helps you out everytime. Backpackers are welcome as kind of friends rather than tourists. Special thanks to Roman ;) The hostel is very clean and well located since San Telmo is close to the city center or La Boca. They offer free guided tours for the people who are staying at the hostel and inform you every day via Whatsapp about what's going on in Buenos Aires or they give advices. Furthermore I also enjoyed the good breakfast.

the whole hostel and the staff is super organized and everything is very clean. it’s been by far the best hostel we’ve been in Argentina. also the water in the shower was warm and the water pressure of the shower head was great. laundry service was fast and cheap! the staff even helped getting money exchanged late at night before our departure! :)
