Great hostel for the price and location. Never too loud but plenty of social opportunities if you like. Camilla (the manager) was super sweet and helpful in finding me a bike to rent so I could bike up to Tigre without having to take a tour. Would definitely recommend.Calculating with blue dollar rateI wanted to stay there for one night and I tried to find out how much it is if I will pay with Pesos but the communication was so bad and the opposite of transparent. They always told be it will be 22 $ but as I didn't have any $ they didn't want to tell me the Peso Price (they just said it's 22$+20%). When you pay by Cash (Peso) they take the blue dollar calculation (1 $ = 350 Pesos) which is not legal as far as I know. Further they charge you 20 % more for paying in Pesos. I can just recommend you paying with card and checking if your bank charge you the international peso ratio. As far as I know they would charge the official peso ratio 22$ x 180 Pesos on your credit card which could still end up cheaper then paying by cash.Nice hostel with very attentive staff. I arrived late and was greeted nicely by staff and taken care of quickly. They offer many services to tourists. The location is great, close to a major avenue with lots of restaurants and shops and within walking distance to Jardin Botanico and Japanese Gardens.Dirty facilities, they charge you $2.50 US dollars for a shower from the moment of checkout time. They forced us to pay it. The staff seemed uninterested, wouldn’t recommend given that its relatively so expensive. And Air Bnb or a different hostel would be way betterIncredibly cheap for its location and size.24hs reception, multiple bathrooms, multiple lockrooms.They charge for towels so bring your own, plus shampoo and soap.5/5 for business trips.The experience as a whole was great! The room and bathroom were clean and aesthetically pleasing, the location is perfect with many things within walking distance, the staff was very kind and helpful, and in addition, spoke great English. They were able to give us information about local attractions and point us in the right direction for what we needed. The only issue we had was the temperatures during our winter stay were a bit cold, but the blankets on the bed were heavy enough, so it wasn’t much of an issue. Overall, I highly recommend.The hostel is in a very nice spot, I stayed one night in a private room, shared bathroom. It had very old sheets and towels, the bathrooms had very poor cleaning, didn't feel comfortable at all. The price was high for this quality of service.
