America Del Sur Hostel Buenos Aires

Nicely and conveniently located in neighborhood San Telmo with some small shops (one cute empanada shop that is worth trying!) in the street. The people at the reception are very friendly and helpful - if you need a local sim card for your stay you can ask them to help you fix it in 5 minutes. We were a bit less enthusiastic about the rooms - they are quite small (we couldn't fit our two suitcases, but if you're traveling with backpack it should be okay) and a bit outdated and the sheets/pillow smelled musty.. For the same price that we paid, we had a much nicer/cleaner stay in another hotel down the road. The vibe in the hostel was really good though, it seemed like a lot of guests knew each other, so it's a great place to meet people.

The staff at this hotel are fantastic. They were extremely helpful with everything. The breakfast is very basic, perhaps they can add some sausage or bacon and definitely provide bigger plates. The room was also okay, bed comfortable. The design of the basin and tap is very silly though, when opening the tap the water barely reaches the basin. The location is truly great. Overall I'd say it was a good stay.

Very good experience here! Good beds, good showers, but above all amazing staff. Very helpful for making your BA experience perfect. Special thanks to Juliette and Roman. Great people who were extremely friendly and gave great tips on how to explore BA!

Very friendly and beyond helpful staff. I showed up without a booking and they managed to accommodate me. Lots of organized hostel activities for those looking to get out and be social. Clean rooms, air conditioning and curtains for the shared dorms! It has a nice common area and a reasonably priced breakfast offered in the mornings. Overall, incredible experience!

We had a good experience overall here, the room was nice, fluffy towels, close to shops, breakfast was very nice and good value ...But it was the staff who made our stay so great. We stayed here at the beginning and then again at the end of our 3 week trip. They booked a taxi for us arriving from the UK which was so reassuring to have in advance. They checked us in early when we arrived. Another colleague explained the currency situation- very helpful. And finally they helped us out in a bit of a crisis. My husband left his mobile in the taxi on the way to the airport when we were leaving Argentina. I called the hostel who had booked the taxi for us and the wonderful woman there contacted the driver and he came back to the airport- you never saw 2 more relieved people! Luckily we had given ourselves extra time at the airport so we were still in plenty of time. I'm so glad we stayed here rather than a hotel. The lonely planet said it was as good as a mid range hotel and it has a lot more going for it with all the help, hints and tips from the staff.
