They give one access card per group (there were 3 of us) and then on weekdays, in case of entering separately, they were annoyed if one rang the bell (it seems they did not take into account that we did not have a card for everyone). If you wish to receive additional cards (access keys to the hostel), an additional fee is charged. Also, on the one hand, the breakfast is rather poor; and, on the other hand, in our case, we were not billed for the payment of the accommodation service (in addition to having requested it) for payment in “cash”.

TOP hostel.

There were no nightstands and/or individual sockets for each bed in the rooms, so "slippers" are needed so that several people can connect their cell phones, and it is also necessary to use a flashlight to move around the room at night without waking up. to your roommates. The security method for entering the hostel (card + code) is perhaps redundant and complicated. Breakfast is poor, you have to pay for extra sandwiches. It should be clarified that none of what I mention lowers the level of the place.

As a suggestion, I would like breakfast to start earlier so that I can have breakfast before going on excursions. But I emphasize that there is always access to the kitchen in case you want to do something yourself.

Beware, they make illegal payments without prior notice

I booked a private room with shared bathroom for 2 nights for $13,896 + $2,918 tax and ended up paying $19,300 for the booking fee and 10% more for card payment. I didn't see the comments warning about this and they would have served me well. They informed me about the surcharges on arrival, saying that this is automatically notified when booking, I showed her that there was no message, she told me that it was not up to her, that she should still charge. You know how frustrating it is to find surcharges without prior notice to the reservation. When I give him the card, he tells me that he has to charge me 10% more to pay with a credit card. I told him that this is not only offensive, but also illegal, that credit card surcharges are prohibited under Argentine law. He called the manager and they told me again that this is what they should have charged me or I can cancel my booking and book on their page and that way they won't charge me a booking fee but a 10% surcharge must be charged, yes.or if. I was very worried, I spoke respectfully, and the answer was no. I explained that the credit card fee for businesses is 1.8% at prisma and 4% to 6% at MercadoPago. I had to ask for an invoice 3 times to see if they were going to place an illegal surcharge on the invoice, they did. They sent it to me when I checked out when I told them I wasn't going to leave until they sent me the bill. I paid $19,302 for two nights in a private room with shared bathroom: room rate plus booking fee and 10% surcharge on all of this plus 21% VAT. Crazy. I made my statement when it was time not to charge me extra, giving them the option not to, including the entire stay, to apologize and cancel the payment and charge what should have been, and they didn't.

Very good experience although a bit expensive

I think the hostel experience has become a lot more expensive for travelers. Previously, it was much cheaper than a regular hotel, in this case the hostel seemed a bit high to me. On the other hand, in the kitchen, sometimes the thermal would jump if two or three items were connected at the same time. I understand that heating appliances consume a lot of energy, but in the case of a crowded room, this issue must be resolved or at least somehow warned during this time so as not to interrupt cooking.

There was a bad smell in the bathroom on the days I didn't get my room cleaned, I guess that was the case as we were shared by 6 girls. The bunks were very high and uncomfortable, if you slept upstairs you couldn't sit on the bed because you would hit your head on the ceiling. Very bad breakfast. At the time of payment, they charge much more than what is indicated in the booking, be careful with this!

Good

I rented a room for 6 people and there were 7 of us. We had a bathroom just for us, but there was no regular cleaning. The air conditioning failed for 2 nights in a row, it seemed to work in the "ventilation" mode. We complained, but the technician was with covid. I was offered to change the room to one of 10, but I decided to stay in the one in which I was. This has finally been fixed. The bunk beds upstairs are very close to the ceiling and it's hard not to push them up. I think it's just a matter of getting used to.

At the time of booking, I asked for a breakfast without tact, they confirmed that I would have it, but at one time there was none. On January 1, there was practically no breakfast for anyone, since the dining room in charge was not working. The staff didn't bother to leave something enough for all the guests.

Great location but only that

Pillows almost in a row, it is very uncomfortable to sleep on them. Lots of noise in the mornings (I don't know if they had a construction company or whatever), the bathrooms were always dirty and it's a mixed type of sports showers that don't serve the doors or place for clothes well during . Breakfast is monotonous. However, it's cheap and well located, it's the only thing that can be salvaged, but I wouldn't stay here again.

Great hostel in a great location.

The wifi in the rooms (which got through the AP) did not work for our 3 nights. Only one of the routers on the ground floor worked. Very thin pillows that are uncomfortable to sleep on. Perhaps this would separate the male and female souls. The photographs show personal suitcases under the beds (at least in the quadruple room) with a key and a lock. Upon arrival we were told that there were no more locks, that they needed to have their own lock.

I didn’t like the initial pre-departure treatment when I asked by email for a bed under the bunk as I have knee problems. I always ask for this at the hostels at the beginning of the booking, and I have never been denied this request. This was the first hostel to respond to my email stating that they do not guarantee a lower bed as it depends on the order in which guests arrive. However, when I arrived the requested bed was provided (I do not know if this was luck or if they decided to comply with my request), but I did not like the treatment at the time of booking. But inside the dorm, when I lived, I was treated very well, unlike the online treatment. I didn't like the noise made by the guests at night. I suggest starting breakfast earlier as many people choose tours that pick up from the hostel at 7:30 AM and currently breakfast only starts at 7:30 AM. However, the team should be congratulated as they always provided food that was ready before 7:30 in the morning. I also suggest installing wall outlets near each bed, as I had to place my cell phone away from my bed for charging and lie on the floor for other guests to step on.

good for what they pay

Many kitchen appliances have expired or deserve repair: some buttons on the microwave don't work properly; the coffee maker didn't work; the toaster is more or less worth it to run; the electric kettle was short (of course, this is an electrical problem that needs to be solved); cups are made of plastic and already have a strong musty smell (it would be wise to change them to ceramic or glass cups, which do not have this problem); the kitchen, unlike the rest of the hostel, was not very clean. I clarify that this is the fault of the guests, but it is clear that the woman who cleans does it once a day, and the sink was covered for the whole day, even at breakfast; breakfast is quite poor (only jammed bread/smeared cheese/dulce de leche; croissants were served once; milk - as I was told they don't have yogurt - and cereal), however it was very filling and they did have apples or oranges , to which some kind of fruit is always added. If they improve this item, they will work better. They could improve communication with guests as for example I didn't see them hiring excursions until the afternoon before I left when I saw brochures at the front desk but on the side of the window. If you don't pay attention, you won't see it, and it was never offered to me.

Perfect place

The breakfast was a bit poor, buttered toast, jam and a treat. There was no fruit for a day, as you can see in the photos. As a suggestion, I would add fruit or natural juice, eggs, and ham. As for the room, I stayed with my cousin in a double room with its own bathroom. As part of the services offered in the room, we did not have a TV and the hair dryer had to be requested from the front desk every time we used it. It would be great if at least the private rooms had an exclusive hair dryer so you don't have to go and ask for it in your pajamas.
