    Awesome Vibe
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Super cool hostel, great to make friends and organize your days, awesome facilities. Also laundry service ( washing and drier) a very nice plus, they offer very interesting tours like horseback in the andes with gauchos, and lots of wine tour for all budgets. Asado and pizzas at night. Bar has happy hour every day and they gave me a free welcoming glass of wine that i really felt Mendoza's vibe. It is like a party hostel but they stops at 00 on the week days, so it is not a PARTY hostel, as i could slept perfectly. Thx for an amazing stay.

    Best hostel in Argentina

    This is not the hostel fault but when you share a dorm have to know this could happen to you too. Some of my roommates were a bit loud and didn't respect the rules (AC was very low, I was freezing) I talked to them and didn't care, luckily the receptionist talked to them and they turned it off and respected the rules after that.

    Excelent hostel, Lots of shared bathrooms, big common areas and cowork. Bar with happy hour, and you can wash your clothes, they have laundry service. Very good breakfast. Clean and modern hostel. I would stay again here.

    Lovely stay

    The room was spacious, with AC. Bunk beds were large and did not move at all, each with a personal plug socket, reading light and curtains. ❤️ The bathrooms were always clean and with hot water, they also have a hair dryer. The outdoor area is huge and beautiful, with grass, lots of flowering plants and a large pool. Although it is autumn it feels like summer in Mendoza. (84°F!!) You will appreciate the pool these days as I did.

    Bar could close a little later than 12 on the week days.. (The good thing is that the main streets of bars are only 2 blocks from the hostel so you can continue the party there.)

    The pool, BAR and garden are by far the best thing about this hostel. I was amazed how easy it was to meet new people. As soon as I check in they gave me a free glass of wine. Comfortable and clean dorms, large and spacious showers and beds, The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable . Nice free breakfast, small but tasty: fruits, pudding or toast with cream cheese and strawberry jam with free coffe, tea, juice, and they have almond mik, which I have never seen in a South American hostel before all with refill if you want. Also you can buy other options there for very little $.

    Perfect stay. Lovely staff, great travel fellow guests, fantastic social vibe, easy to make new friends. Very clean and location is amazing.They also offer tours and make dinners like asado or empanadas. As it has a bar can be like a party hostel but it closes early on the week days (00) so I slept like a baby every day. Book for 1 night and stayed 4, highly recomended.

    Breakfast could include 2 pieces of bread instead of 1 - a little bit mean in my opinion. My booking was wrong when I got to Gorilla (someone I put it wrong in the system) so I was told I was being put in a better room for my stay (which was great) but I returned from a day in the city to find all my things had been packed up & brought to reception - however they lost my flip flops in the move which was very sad

    Outdoor pool area was lovely. Do nice meals in the evening. Free glass of wine at check in. Very clean Nice vibes

    Great for meeting people, party oriented but with clear rules so you can sleep every day. Clean and modern hostel. Go if you are looking to HAVE FUN, if you enjoy big garden, comfy beds, many shared bathrooms, you never have to wait and with rain hot showers. Also they offer many tours that are fantastic. Horseback riding and paragliding are essential. (Besides wine tasting). 100% recommended.

    If you are a hostel person, then THIS IS THE HOSTEL to stay at in Mendoza. Bar with daily happy hour, pool, big garden, pizzas, asados, great wifi, confy beds, rooms with AC and big hot showers. It comes with a nice basic breakfast but you can upgrade it for only 3 usd. It has the best social vibes in my hole trip (3 months long) Booked for one night and ended up staying for a week. Thanks for such an amazing experience Gorilla.

    The kitchen is a bit tired and the bathroom in dorm room B could do with a refresh, given the price.

    Amazing atmosphere in this hostel, it's kind of what you're paying for and it's so easy to meet people. Lots of activities organised and a hostel WhatsApp group to help arrange things. Really comfy beds and the hallway showers were great. The pool and bar outside were great way to socialise. Happy hour is good also at the bar, especially with the cocktails.

    Some guests stay in the corridors talking very loudly, which interferes with rest.

    The only problem for me personally is that they did not offer private rooms. However, it could not be a problem for backpackers. Its a great hostal overall

    The property and the activities available every night at the property. The pool is a plus. The staff is very friendly and always available to help.
