Hostel One is an old house in the unique neighborhood of San Telmo, with a lot of things to do!

Hostel One is located in picturesque San Telmo, one of Buenos Aires’ oldest and most emblematic neighborhoods. The barrio is an amalgam of old, crumbling buildings, tango music drifting out of smoky bars, artists and writers feverishly working at their craft, and hordes of tourists. It’s an interesting place to be to say the least.

Hostel One is located less than 5 minutes by foot from Plaza Dorrego, which is one of the few open air plazas in all of Buenos Aires. Any day of the week you can find people enjoying a pint and watching the live music and tango performers that come for the tourists. Every Sunday the plaza is taken over by an arts and crafts fair, where artisans offer everything from maté gourds to antique copper knick knacks.

The hostel itself is an old brownstone that was built in 1904, restored to make the perfect hostel. All of the rooms (singles, double, triples, quads, and dorms) receive plenty of sunlight, and there are balconies overlooking the quiet street the hostel is located on. Every room features amenities such as lockers and AC; all the features needed to make a backpacker feel at home. The reception area features a wide open space where you can listen to music, chat, or take advantage of the free internet available. There is also a terrace on top of the building where travelers can sunbathe or relax in the evening breezes.

Hostel One offers a variety of services including breakfast, organized tours for fútbol matches, tango lessons, Spanish lessons, and excursions to local clubs and bars. You’re sure to find something fun and interesting to do with the assistance of the hostel’s bright and cheerful staff.
