In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptional staff — Guests repeatedly mention how informative, lively, and kind the team is, with one traveller praising the clear accessibility guidance.
  • Lively social scene — Free walking tours, pub crawls, and evening events like karaoke keep the hostel buzzing, according to reviews.
  • Two pools — A rooftop pool and an indoor pool give guests options for a cooling dip any time.
  • Central yet quiet — Within walking distance of San Telmo Market and the downtown areas, but set in a peaceful neighbourhood.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adults-only policy — The hostel does not accept children, which may rule it out for families travelling with younger kids.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
  • Some rooms share bathrooms — Basic dorm and family rooms come with showers but no private bathroom, so look to the Superior rooms for en-suite facilities.
  • Mixed value perception — While Value scores 8.7, a few reviewers felt the price was steep relative to the experience, particularly for the room size.
