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are quite small (we couldn't fit our two suitcases, but if you're traveling with backpack it should be okay) and a bit outdated and the sheets/pillow smelled musty..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.

Don’t go there unless you have no option. It’s noisy and expensive. We left our luggage with them for two weeks and they were wet and moldy when we got it back. Obviously, someone dropped liquid on it or worst, there was a pipe leak! Now I don’t have any warm clothes to go to Patagonia. I have three kids. The only reason we chose to go there is because they offered a luggage deposit and we want to travel “light” for a week Uruguay and an other in Iguazu. So we stayed 4 nights and left some luggage for two weeks. Our stay was not pleasant: the whole hostel is really noisy and we heard everything that was going on in the lobby from our room on the 4th floor. That means we woke up at 6 because the islandic elderly group decided to cheer their guide every morning and went to bed listening to old rock metal every night because the employee at the desk felt that was appropriate ambient music. Not pleasant. Staff is ok and it’s clean, but you can get WAY better in BA for that price.

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!
