Cool place with a nice pool and a really nice atmosphere. It really feels like you can make friends here unfortunately I didn’t as I didn’t have enough time.

The hostel has a good location. I didn't like the service. The hostess acted as if I had to serve him. The area on the top floor was beautiful, with a kitchen and a view of the city, but it was terribly dirty. The room had its own bathroom, and the water pressure was good. The beds didn't have curtains or individual lighting, which was inconvenient.

Hace 25 años que trabajo en hotelería.  No logro entender porque me dieron de baja mi reserva luego de alojarme y abonar siempre sin inconvenientes. Fue sin aviso luego de un día agotador de trabajo, de noche ( tienen mi wp) y del sitio nada. Fue al llegar y enterarme al llegar sin aviso previo por Paula, la chica de recepción y sin explicación. Jamás me pasó esto.  No creo haber echo nada malo y siempre fui respetuoso con todos, abone sin problemas y jamás tuve inconvenientes con nadie. He realizado asados convocando gente y armando comunidad esos días. Respetando los horarios. Invitado a comer a recepcionistas sin problema, destacó a Vicky y Eduardo. Al pedir explicaciones a Agustín el encargado, primero me manifestó de un tal wp de hostel de San Telmo....lo cual no era así. Luego de que una recepcionista ( ahora justo de vacaciones) se había quejado de mi, sin decirme de que ni porque. Trabajo en turismo, tengo 55 años y se de que se trata el servicio. Si la casa se reserva el derecho de admisión debe explicar porque si transgrediste alguna regla del lugar, sino es discriminación, quizás de una persona en particular... Si no me renovaron por hacer check out late. Sepan que reservaba x día y solo me quedaba esperando que me asignen de nuevo la habitacion. Que de todas formas me parece una nimiedad. 30 años tengo en hoteleria y fui gerente de un 5 estrrellas Luego de mi critica en booking, se comunicó muy amablemete el gte Federico,para disculparse...por la incomodidad y que había Sido un error no poder alojarme, que apoyaba a su equipo en las desicunes pero que está, no la compartia.....(Si) Aún sigo asombrado. Mucho texto para no decirme mucho, ni explicar que su equipo cometió un error y que no solo no paso nada sino que se perdieron un cliente. La intuición que mencio, está vez fallo y cuando se cometen errores ( esto por manejar equipos de 98 personas) además de las disculpas, debe haber una revindicacion ya que brindamos servicios ( No pido noche gratis ni nada de eso, sino simplemente poder alojarme nuevamente, sin aduana. Un abuso. .......... I've worked in the hotel industry for 25 years. I can't understand why my reservation was canceled after I'd checked in and paid without any problems. It was without warning after an exhausting day at work, and I hadn't heard anything from the website since the night before. I only found out upon arrival from Paula, the receptionist, without any prior notice or explanation. This has never happened to me before. I don't believe I did anything wrong, and I've always been respectful to everyone. I paid without issue and never had any problems with anyone. I've even hosted barbecues, inviting people and building a sense of community on those days, always respecting the schedule. I was invited to lunch with the receptionists without any problem, and I singled out Vicky and Eduardo. When I asked Agustín, the manager, for an explanation, he initially mentioned a hostel in San Telmo

Location in San Telmo is near Plaza de Mayo and Caminito in La Boca, but quite far from Palermo (another important area of town with many sights). Sections of San Telmo neighborhood are not always safe after dark. The hostel is well-organized and managed. Checking in and payment went smoothly. Staff speaks English. There is an elevator and my room -though small- was comfortable with shower and separate toilet. In addition to the common space near the pool on the ground floor, there is a kitchen with a big table and a spacious lounge area as well on fifth floor (rooftop). Most of the time it is quiet there! Wifi worked well and the place is kept clean. They allow people with a snoring disorder to sleep in the dormitory. Just one person ruined night rest of all other guests. I escaped to the roof and had a couple of hours of sleep on a sofa. The others did not sleep at all. The kitchen is ill-equipped. There are only two very big pots (for family dinners?). The stove runs on electricity and has four spots to cook, but only two are functional. Moreover, it takes a long time to heat up anything (15 minutes or more, before you can start cooking). There are no bowls, or deep plates. So you end up eating your soup out of a very big pot. No towel included in the price.
