This is a great place to check out, especially if you are looking for an extended stay. I was there for a few weeks and enjoyed every minute! It is a great place to meet other travelers and the location is excellent!

Stay here a couple of days and you will realize why so many people end up staying much longer than planned! This hostel has a great energy and in no time you will feel right at home! We met so many cool people here and had so much fun hanging out in the hostel and going out with everyone to all the fun bars and clubs right in the neighborhood. We had a blast and will definitely be back!

Fun place to stay, there are always people to meet and hang out with and the have live music on the weekends and asados on Thursdays (highly recommended!). Very social, chill atmosphere and right in the heart of the party scene in Palermo Soho.

The best choice for the first-time visitor in Buenos Aires. Very cozy atmosphere and you really get to know the other guests. Plus the location is perfect, right in the middle of Palermo, close to all the bars, restaurants, cafes and shops...you will never run out of things to do!

This is a hostel where you feel immediately comfortable and at home. ItÂŽs got a good vibe, and great staff. The location is very good - there are other hostels close by which are inferior, and more expensive. The rooms were comfortable and you really feel like they are making an effort to make it a welcoming place. I reccommend highly.

Greatest thing about this hostel is the staff working there and defintely the location. Just 5 minutes walking from the bustling Plaza Serrano and 15 minutes walking from some of the coolest Milongas in town (Salon Canning, La Viruta, Practica X)

Was kinda worried about the whole hostel thing. But it worked here. There were a few people getting the party on (including me after a couple of days). But they get the right balance. Party from time to time but chill most of the time. They want to get to know you, look out for you. I met some great folks, spent a lot of time hanging out, cooking, chatting, drinking a cold beer. Time very well spent.

El viernes 25 fue realmente increÃble, no me imagine la onda que podÃa tener el hostel el dÃa de Navidad. No solamente nos sorprendieron con una abundante comida Armenia, sino también el ambiente durante todo el dÃa. Muuuucha champan, cervezas y sobre todo regalos al finalizar la cena. Muuuchas Gracias Bait! Saludos desde la Patagonia.

Really great little hostel with amazing staff who are really helpful and make the best desserts (thanks Mel!). Great double room and the shared bathrooms are never busy and are well maintained. Location is fantastic for bars and restaurants with easy bus access to the main city sights. Best hostel we've stayed in South America!

Good double room, although it was next to the reception desk / living room and so quite a lot of noise. Especially on the saturday night party evening. Most of the staff was really nice, some however more keen on having fun then on working. Location is perfect, bathroom clean and good and breakfast ok.

While this hostel is in a good location it is not well set up. It is very small with the dorms openning onto the main walkway/courtyard which means it is really noisy. If you want to sleep, this is not the place for you. If you want to party than this is not the place for you either. Plenty of great bars and restaurants nearby tho.

Felt dingy. What you expect from an older "backpacker" hostel. Much nicer places nearby for a little more money, but you get what you pay for. Small communal, bar area. Staff was great, very friendly, helpful!

I stayed here about a year ago and then came back earlier this year for my second trip to Arg. It has improved so much. The vibe was always chilled and friendly but theyÂ?ve really put some effort into the kitchen, the beds, the look of the place. Unlike a few places I stayed, they also seem to care that you have a good time.

The hostel is nice with not too many rooms. Melvin is a very friendly guy and made sweet guacamole (bartender, reception). One thing I didn't like was that to get from the room to the kitchen, you would have to walk outside so it wasn't great these last few days as it was cold. Also, there are only 3 bathrooms (one for men, one for women, and one unisex) which meant that you almost always have to wait (but not for super long). Last little thing is that wifi doesn't work in the rooms because the signal doesn't reach. That is a little disappointing since the hostel is small and all they would need to do is get a better router with a stronger signal. They need to work on getting their electricity fixed too. It went out of power more than 5 times over my two night stay, although usually only for 5 minutes and no more.

This is an excellent place to meet travellers, backpackers, and students who want to experience the carefree life of Palermo Soho. Weekends are filled with jazz-funk-rock while Thursdays have asados.

Great hostel, really great!!! The staff is extremely knowlegeable: ask them antything about the city and theyÂŽll be talking for half an hour! The rooms are not really big but big enough and the curtains over each bed make that you have some privacy. Bathrooms are very good with good adjustable water temperatures. Bathrooms are cleaned well every day. Breakfast not great of course but what do you expect? ThereÂŽs toast, juice, itÂŽs not bad either. The location in Palermo is very good as well. All in all a great hostel and IÂŽll definitely come back there!

The hostel is clean and lies in the center of Palermo, close to a lot of bars and clubs. It is a great location to explore the nightlife of Buenos Aires, but the hostel is relaxed enough that partying is not required and you can easily get enough rest to recover from a jetlag. The breakfast is nice, but not very large (toast, fruits and coffee, tea or mate). Part of the staff is really interested and eager to help, but on our first day the guy behind the reception was unfriendly.
