Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location in the middle of the old town. The hostel is inside of one of the most beautiful buildings with old school with old school elevator. It is spread out to several floors and the rooms are kept clean and organised. The stuff is very helpful.

    This is possibly one of the best hostels we have stayed in so far in 6 months of travelling South America. In the most expensive country in South America, this place represents great value for money. Clean, tidy, the common room has computers, tea, coffee, and nice place to chill and meet others without being a party hostal. I highly recommend.

    Absolutely loved this hostel, it was BEAUTIFUL and the location is right in the old town on a gorgeous street with a lot of restaurants, bars and cafes nearby. The host is extremely friendly and speaks English perfectly. I can’t recommend this place enough, I couldn’t believe how cheap is it for how beautiful it is.

    Really friendly staff, nice social areas and good kitchen. Rooms are on the small side but beds feel private with the curtain. Bus stop nearby and good location. Best hostel shower we've experienced so far! They also let us leave our bags there for a couple of days while we visited Cabo Polonio which we really appreciated.
