Michael was particularly helpful. Rooms were small but adequate. Well located two blocks from San Telmo Market. Tv in public area. Kitchen was bright and inviting. Breakfast for $4 US was decent with fruit and cheese and toast and coffee and tea and milk...Overall very acceptable.

Nice terrace you can enjoy the view from there. Kitchen accessories were kind of broken. The place is functional, doesn't look so nice as in the pictures. Small unfunctional bedroom. They charged 10 usd more than the declared price in the app because i was paying with card. The personal was reserved.

Foi nossa 2a estada no hotel, manteve o padrão de antes, um bom custo-benefício com excelente localização e preço. Não espere por quartos amplos e camas confortáveis, mas vale a pena para viajantes que passam mais tempo na rua do que no hotel. Tem bo área de convivência tanto no lobby, área externa com pisnica e também no terraço com uma pequena cozinha para os hóspedes utilizarem.

Es ist ein Hostel. Unser erstes Zimmer war nass (Klimanalage hat geleckt) und dann haben wir ein anderes Zimmer bekommen. Das hat konstant leicht gemüffelt; lag aber auch daran, dass man schlecht bis gar nicht lüften konnte. Sauberkeit sonst aber sehr gut. Der Pool ist konstant im schattigen Innenhof und war für uns überflüssig, da wir ihn so nie nutzen konnten/wollten - im Nachhinein würden wir dann vermutlich etwas anderes buchen. Haben hier teurer gebucht (wegen Pool)... Der Gemeinschaftsraum oben wie unten ist sehr klein. Es kommt kein Hostelfeeling auf und man kommt kaum mit Leuten ins Gespräch, weil sich dort selten jemand länger aufhält als nötig. Umgebucht in super nice - v.a. am Sonntag mit dem San Telmo-Markt!

The room was clean and fine but the AC conditioner was not cooling, it was just normal air at same temperature than outside (30 degrees in Bueno Aires). The hotel is near from the center of Bueno Aires. This hotel apply the Blue rate (1 Euro = 375 Pesos / March 2023) and they don't apply the Official rate (1 Euro = 200 Pesos / March 2023). The price of the shuttle taxi from airport to the hotel is between 6300 pesos (AEP) and 8000 pesos (EZE) while in the expedia page it is written 700 pesos..
