• Estefanis (10/5): Excelente costo-beneficio - Excelente zona. Muy buen costo-beneficio
• Jorge (10/5): - La atención siempre 10/10 Las gradas de la entrada
• Domingues (10/5): Comodidad - La atención de los chicos de recepción fue muy buena, los chicos re atentos y siempre dispuestos a ayudar en lo que necesites del lugar.
• SANTIAGO (10/5): - Ubicacion, arquitectura, limpieza, calido lugar. Para volver
• Priscilla (7/5): -
• CL T (8/5): - 貓很友善，我覺得很可愛乾淨，但我媽不喜歡貓，貓會跑進房間。建議喜歡貓的人可以訂這。 我媽的28吋行李箱，旅店的人協助我們搬上搬下，非常感謝。
• Agathe (7/5): Bon hostel pour découvrir Buenos Aires - Logement bien situé, équipements minimum à disposition, plusieurs sdb individuelles, differents espaces détentes dont un rooftop ! Moisissures à plusieurs niveaux Animaux présents (chats et un chien), moi ça ne me dérange absolument pas mais mon ami qui est allergique aurait aimé être avisé avant
• Marina (10/5): - La ubicación es excelente, el lugar es muy agradable, la terraza es clave y todo el staff es muy amable! Definitivamente volvería!
• ANGELA (9/5): EXCELENTE LUGAR! - El personal es supremamente amable, siempre dispuestos a atenderte, respetan mucho los espacios, te piden tener cuidado con el ruido para no molestar a los huéspedes, no se complican, procuran ayudarte, a mi me prestaron ayuda en muchas cosas. Las habitaciones son confortables, los baños siempre estaban muy limpios y con todo lo necesario, está muy bien ubicado, hay supermercados, iglesias, restaurantes, cafeterías, lavanderías, todo queda cerca. GRACIAS por hacer mi estadía tan confortable y alegre. Recomiendo llevar repelente o insecticida porque en general, por el sector, hay muchos mosquitos chiquitos, no es solo del alojamiento. Le falta un poco de iluminación a la habitación, pero creo que en general es de la ciudad.

• Huw (10/5): -
• Elliot (8/5): It was nice - The staff were wonderful and the location great. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and had hand soap, but they are a bit old. We loved the cats. We enjoyed the stay, but if we're being nit-picky, we would have appreciated the washing up sponge being replaced as it was quite old. And maybe also the shower curtains.
• Berta (9/5): - Muy buena ubicación, habitación de buen tamaño y confortable
• Ueno (9/5): - 施設が広くて開放感があるHostalでベッドにカーテンこそありませんが快適に過ごせました。 スタッフのペルー出身の方はとても接客が素晴らしかったです。 また猫がとても人懐っこくて可愛かったです。 キッチンが使えたら連泊しようと思いました。 キッチンの火のつけ方がマッチで難しかった。 同部屋の上のベッドのゲストが深夜1時すぎに携帯のライトをつけてロッカーから物を出し入れしたりしてかなり迷惑だった。 安い価格なので仕方ありませんが客質は平均よりすこしだけ悪かったです。
• Fernandez (10/5): Excelente estadía - La amabilidad en recepción. En la noche es silencioso para el descanso. Contemplativos con el horario de check in.
• Sean (10/5): One of my fav hostels I’ve stayed in so far :) - Great location, lovely friendly staff, very reasonably priced, great chill out areas and most importantly two very friendly cats The WiFi could have been better in the rooms but that was it
• Filiz (7/5): - Buena ubicación, personal amable Se escuchó cada ruido en el cuarto privado, queda al lado de la entrada y tiene paredes y puerta muy finas.
• Enrico (8/5): -
• Aline (8/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist toll und das Haus ist besonders und eigentlich sehr schön. Einige Räume und die Bäder könnten einige Renovierungen gebrauchen.
• Martin (7/5): - La ubicación es muy buena. Zona linda, cercana a los parques de Palermo y al aeropuesto Aeropaque, ideal por si hay que seguir viajando.
• Martin (10/5): -
• Vale (8/5): Corta, sencilla, pero bien ubicada y cómoda - Era un lugar lindo y simple, bien ubicado y tiene una terraza que está buena. En algunos lugares se sentía un olor medio feo
• Pamela (6/5): - NADA, ERA MUY SIMPLE QUE LOS GATOS SE PASEABAN POR LAS CAMAS
• Daniel Nicolas (9/5): - Ubicación Todo bien

• Edgardo (9/5): Excelente lugar, muy buena relación precio calidad ! - El lugar es de los mejores a los que he ido en BA, está bien ubicado, tiene una terraza genial donde hacer asados y desarrollar cualquier actividad e incluso un techo en caso de lluvia. Los Miércoles hay unos excepcionales asados argentinos! Hay muchos espacios comunes donde relajarse o trabajar. Las camas en general la mayoría son cómodas. Hay una buena cantidad de baños y buenos lockers en los dormitorios. Que no haya enchufes en buen estado, muchos necesitan recambio. En los dormitorios, en mi opinión, hacen falta enchufes a la altura correcta en cada cama y una luz propia también pero de todos modos los dormitorios son cómodos y limpios.
• Elle (8/5): -
• MerceOlivera (10/5): Muy recomendable - La cortesía del personal. Todo acorde.
• Lorenzo (8/5): -
• Jane (7/5): -
• Nithin (7/5): okish - if you neglect my negatives, then its worth to stay ; good env ; good staff there are no sockets for each bed, 2 socket points inside the room but not working , if you are allergic to dust its not recommended for stay, kitchen room is not modern equipped, bathrooms(4) are shared by many rooms instead of single room members , they are maintaining clean but not pleasant , in some concern the staff did not seem willing to assist and responded with reluctance where as in other hostel stay the host helped in that concern, but still answering without reluctance will be good
• piligi (10/5): - El lugar es muy lindo. Los baños están muy limpios (importante al ser compartido). Alberto y los chicos que trabajan en el Reina Madre fueron siempreviva muy amables. Un gusto!
• Francis (7/5): - Trop de lumière dans la chambre est assez bruyant on entend tout.
• Ciro Mauricio (10/5): - Sinceramente me gustó todo, pero más aún la atención y lo limpio del lugar.
• Amelia (10/5): - Denis me atendió muy amablemente. El lugar es cómodo porque tiene muchos baños y espacios amplios para estar. Todo está muy limpio y ordenado. Dan bebidas calientes y agua de cortesía y tienen dos gatos preciosos y muy amigables! Todo me gustó
• Da kela (8/5): Muy bueno - Muy buena ubicación y limpieza, los baños sobre todo. Los michis son lo más. Creo que para mí objetivo de hacer un viaje económico está súper bien. Pero mucha contaminación auditiva cerca de las habitaciones. Creo que si el viaje es de ocio está perfecto de todos modos.

• Romulo (10/5): Bom, barato, amigavel e confortavel. - A equipe é sensacional, em especial Denis e Harold, obrigado pela boa recepção. Ficamos apenas um dia, pois dia seguinte iamos ao Uruguai, mas senti vontade de ficar muitos outros dias.
• Maria (7/5): -
• Eva (4/5): - el personal amable mucho ruido en el hostal, el timbre los espacios comunes etc, habia mucha luz en la habitacion. La cocina muy sucia. No suelo esperar mucho por el precio al que hago la reserva pero no repetiria mi estancia
• Yasmin (9/5): Lovely hostel with a great vibe, gorgeous building and spaces to relax - Gorgeous building, the friendliest staff Only issue was our room lock didn’t work properly!
• Estefany (10/5): -
• Mona (7/5): - Sehr nettes Personal. Hilfreich. Lage ganz gut, sicher. Ausreichend Bäder. Dachterrasse. Steckdosen. Es gibt einen Hund und zwei Katzen. Sollte man wissen, falls Allergien bestehen. Die Unterkunft ist sehr hellhörig, Zimmer in Richtung Rezeption und Wohnzimmer. Es war abends noch recht laut, nicht wegen anderen Gästen/normalem Hostel-Betrieb, sondern weil der Besitzer/Mitarbeiter? laut ferngesehen hat und ein anderer Mitarbeiter sehr laut telefoniert hat. Ich fand es auch nicht übermäßig sauber. Sonst aber alles ok, hab mich trotzdem wohl gefühlt.

• María de los Angeles (6/5): -
• Emma (8/5): Friendly one night stay in Buenos Aires - The lovely staff were kind and helpful when I got there and realised id left my passport at the airport (it was a long day...). The common area was cosy and the dorm bed comfy. Loved the area and it was safe to walk around, bustling with families and friends into the evening! Receptionist recommended me a lovely bar )Roma) to calm down in with a glass of wine after my passport adventure. They also had a BBQ for guests on the rooftop the night i was there which was so lovely and a great way to chat to other travellers. Cute dog,Bowie, as well! Bathrooms could have been cleaner! A lot of stairs too so be prepared for that with luggage.
• Van de Moortele (6/5): - Emplacement idéal Personnel agréable Beaucoup de bruit dans l'établissement et chambre sans aucun volet
• Paula (8/5): -
• Melissa (10/5): Un lugar seguro con gente servicial y agradable para tu paso por caba ♥️ -
• Melissa (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): Absolutely wonderful hostel - What an amazing hostel in a great location. The building is beautiful with plenty of areas to sit and relax. But what makes this hostel stand out is the friendly and kind atmosphere. The people who run it are lovely, always ready to greet you with a smile. And the same goes for the people staying there. I can’t recommend this hostel enough. I loved every minute of being there, in particular sitting on the balcony watching the world go by. Thank you for making my BA stay so memorable. Nothing!
• Renato (1/5): -
• Laura (1/5): Sehr schlecht. Auch das Personal... . Das schlechte was ich je erleben musste. - Die Lage war Top. Aber das war leider schon alles. Erstens: der Chef, Sr Alberto, hat sich geweigert, mir eine Rechnung oder Beweiss zu geben, dass ich bereits den gesamten betrag bezahlt hatte. Er war anfangs freundlich, aber später wurde er sehr unfreundlich und beleidigend, als ich auf mein Recht auf eine Rechnung hingewiesen musste (nach einer Woche bitten , und bitten meinerseits). Herr Alberto machte somit einen unseriösen EINDRUCK und wurde mit den Tagen respektlos gegenüber den Touristen. Außerdem, würden meine Sachen täglich durch die Reinigungskraft abgefasst (??!!) und meine Lebensmittel durch die Reinigungskrafz gestohlen. Unfassbar. Noch nie erlebt. Der hostel fühlte sich wie " un nido de ratas" also nicht zu empfehlen. Lieber ein paar Euro mehr zahlen und sich wohl in freundlicher Atmosphäre entspannen : )
• diego (9/5): -
• Lais (6/5): - Portaria e check in 24h, atendente Denis super atencioso, localização boa. Quartos ruins, banheiros ruins e sujos, chave do quarto não funcionava direito, fiquei presa dentro do quarto duas vezes e precisei pedir ajuda para o staff abrir a porta. O hostel é bem caro para o que entrega.

• Verchan (9/5): -
• Rodrigo (3/5): - Stället var fullt med katter, och jag är tyvärr allergisk :(
• Anna (9/5): A good place to stay for a short trip - Very nice place, we stayed for short time and it was perfect for us, we loved the guitar in the common place and the cats wandering around! Very cute Difficult to escape the lights at night
• Brian (9/5): -
• Juliana Freitas de Souza (7/5): - Funcionários atenciosos e simpáticos. Muitas escadas, a rodinha da minha mala acabou quebrando por conta de tantas escadas.
• Arguello (8/5): -
• Mariano M (10/5): Mejor hostel de Bs As - Excelente todo, esta re bien planificado y es muy cómodo, descansé muy bien -
• Niccolo (6/5): Pleasant -
• Achaval (10/5): Exceptional -
• Esteban (9/5): Superb -
• Tushar (8/5): Very good - The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was nice and the location was pretty good as well. The kitchen and bathrooms weren't maintained properly. The cleanliness could be better.
• Elvan (6/5): It was okay. If you're happy with a basic hostel, you will be happy here. I surely was :) - A decent hostel to spend the night and explore the city during the day. The rooms were clean and one host was very helpful. You got busses, the metro, coffee places and groceries all within walking distance. The terrace was amazing and comfortable. The bathrooms were messy and toilet paper was scarce. The kitchen was chaotic (but that's mostly the guests fault) so make sure you organize your belongings. Some hosts did not speak english which is a pity for a hostel. Pro tip: mosquitos reach the rooftop so use a repellant!
• Raffaele (8/5): Extremely friendly in a good location - Great Location and the staff is very friendly. They provide lot of info about the city, and they are always available. The 2 cats and dog make you feel like at home. Daily cleaning, good value for money. The building it’s beautiful,but the facilities are old and they need an update.
• Mb (9/5): Superb -
• Аар (9/5): Good time. - Good. Stairs and doors are weird,as well as the lockers.
• Myron (9/5): Superb -
• Jordan (10/5): Definitely recommend! - Extremely welcoming staff, bed was comfy, extremely relaxed vibes, great information from the staff, lovely roof terrace, perfect for a chill! I think the air con could be on a little more 🤣
• Edoardo (6/5): Pleasant - Nice position in the city and the terrace is great There are cats in the hostel and can enter the rooms and sit on the beds. I had a big allergic reaction because of this and I think I shall be stated in the description of the hostel.
• Sara (6/5): Wouldn’t stay again but maybe good for other people - AC was only turned on at night but was cold. Family run business. Has a rooftop. The cat had fleas. I love animals but if you’re going to have cats and dog there you must make sure it’s sanitary. It was very dirty. Bathroom was gross. Paper towel holder falling off wall. No toilet paper. I even skipped showering there (gross I know) but the shower was much grosser. Kitchen was very small, smelly and needed some serious cleaning. The entire place needed a deep clean. It was so odd they forced you to give them the keys anytime you left which made me a little concerned for my belongings locked in the room. Because the keys were just hanging on the wall in the open office and sometimes not attended. Just be aware if you have heavy luggage there are several sets of steep stairs. Didn’t have any social life while we were there. Just people smoking weed alone on the roof. No activities. WiFi was horrible and would just randomly stop working. Best thing we did was move hostels and ended up enjoying BA so much more.
• Salvijs (8/5): Very good - Location, price, personal
• Matheus (10/5): Felts like home - very nice place with nice people working in there. good common areas (mainlythe rooftop), great location and a very good price the kitchen could be more organized, but not that deserve criticism. A very good hostel!
• Tijs (9/5): Superb -
• Ricardo (7/5): Nice option, not so cool for solo young people - Nice staff and great location Bathrooms might need a rework, not so many interaction with other guests
• Sergio (8/5): Excellent location and value for money - Everything was great, staff was kind and helpful. I only stayed one day and it was a great option, the hostel was very clean and the facilities (what I used at least) great. The hostel is also stylish. Water pressure in one of the bathrooms was a bit weak but that was the only (minor) point.
• Josh (8/5): Lovely hostel. Great staff, wicked location - Good location, cute little cats, maid service every day. Bathrooms look a bit dated and could do with a a revamp, other than that all good
• Bastian (10/5): Exceptional - Honestly one of the coolest hostels I've ever been to! The staff were lovely and very helpful, the location is great and the vibes in this beautiful hostel are unmatched!
• Trollas (1/5): Don't stay here - Good location in Recoleta When checking in they told me that it’s only possible to pay in cash and I would need to go to Western Union to pick up 980 USD worth of Argentinian pesos in cash so that I could pay them in cash. Nowhere in the booking did it say that you can only pay in cash. Ironically they have stickers of Visa in their premises to show that you should be able to pay via card. The day after I went to tell them, that I want to cancel my booking as I was not happy with the Hostel or the payment options, to which they rudely responded that cash only was written in the booking (I checked, and it was not) that it was cash only and that why did I even stay here in the Hostel for such a long time if payment in cash is a problem. While they apologized later, it already ruined the vibe. Overall the Hostel is not great. Some other complaints: - The rooms look outdated - The aircon can only be controlled by the owner, who has the remote in the reception. The room gets really hot and there is no ventilation - When you leave the room - you have to always give and ask for the key at the reception. If you come from the street, you need to be buzzed in by the reception, which is really annoying - The beds are not comfortable - They don’t bother to add toilet paper or soap in some of the bathrooms - The Wifi sometimes does not seem to work - The rooms are super noisy. You can hear pretty much everything that is happening in the hostel or on the streets - Even the lock for the room did not work properly, you had to play around with the lock to open the door Overall, I’m baffled how this hostel can have such a high rating. It’s expensive and outdated. Plus, you are treated like a kid with the whole aircon and key situation and customer service is terrible.
• Susana (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel building is beautiful, the location is very good (close to Recolleta and Palermo). The staff were lovely, welcoming and flexible (it's a family business). It was a bit quiet which I don't mind. Just a recommendation, maybe the hostel could have a WhatsApp group for those who want it with daily activities, milongas, Tango classes, nights out and football game ticket information.
• Tumen (9/5): Superb -
