- Andrés (10/5): -
- Anne (8/5): - L emplacement, la deco, un verre de vin offert a l'arrivée. Le petit déjeuner inclus..... pour un fruit et une tranche de cake...un peu leger..
- Paula (9/5): Seguro volveré - Las instalaciones están en excelentes condiciones, limpio, climatizado, las camas y baño son cómodos y sobre todo la buena onda
- Ledden (10/5): - Great value and great events. A fun place to hang out.
- Analia (10/5): El mejor hostel de Mendoza - Muy limpio y cómodo, en especial la comodidad de la cama y el baño de la habitación. Los chicos que atienden son super amables y te ayudan en todo. Ideal para viajar sola y conocer gente! 1000/10! Nada. Fue muy agradable mi estadía.
- César (10/5): -
- Camille (9/5): Excellent hostel, good atmosphere, clean, witch fun activities. Special thank you to Camila who is always with a big smi - La habitación, las excurciones, el personal El desayuno incluido en el precio
- Garabedian (9/5): - El personal muy amable, siempre predispuestos a ayudar, destaco a CAMI, una genia, super carismatica, calida y con una energia divina, la ubicacion del hostel esta increible, mdz volvere, gracias
- Harry (6/5): - Great location, good place to meet people! When I checked in during the late evening the staff member on-duty was unable to provide me with a towel, was looking forward to taking a shower after a long trip. I also didn’t have a padlock, the staff couldn’t sell me one either. Also, the hostel is quite loud and people are making noise way up until the early hours. I checked out early and found alternative accommodation on the same street.
- Johann Francisco (10/5): El lugar es increíble , tuve que quedarme pocos días pero te lleva a quedarte aún más. Destaco el trato de Valentino y d - Muchos espacios para compartir. Nada
- Caroline (9/5): - Super hostel à Mendoza! L’emplacement est en plein centre à 2 rues des bars et restaurants. L’ambiance y est super sympa avec des soirées organisées et toutes les activités de la région sont directement réservables à lhostel! Les volontiers sont adorables, mention spéciale pour Camila qui est d’une gentillesse et toujours souriante!
Si vous voulez passer un bon moment à Mendoza, aller au Gorilla! La cuisine a seulement 2 feux qui fonctionnent.
- Ana (10/5): Increible estadia. Ubicacion excelente, staff atento, muy buen ambiente y re bien organizado. -
- Henrique (3/5): Only for those with a strong will - Excellent location, and really kind staff Poorly ventilated bedroom, bumpy mattress, shaky bunkbed, really outdated bathroom with rusty shower knobs. Rules forbidding AC to go below 22°C makes the room feel sweltered. Signals of lack maintenance, and cleaning duty feel noticeable, there was literally a gum glued to the wall beside my bed. Really not up to par to the standard of award winning hostels I stayed in Europe, or even others in Argentina.
- César (10/5): -
- Godoy (10/5): - La buena onda y el ambiente que se generaba Y las instalaciones compartidas en algunas ocasiones estaban mojadas
- SILVA RAMIREZ (10/5): - Todo muy lindo
- Kuhar (9/5): -
- César (10/5): -
- Romina victoria (6/5): -
- Marie (10/5): Le meilleur hostel de Mendoza ! - Tout ! Le lieu, les gens, l’emplacement, l’ambiance ! Rien à dire !
- Maria Jose (10/5): - El personal, el ambiente, las actividades, la ubicación. Lo recomiendo realmente
- Mélanie (8/5): - Chambres confortables, salle de bain propres, piscine, grande cuisine, espace de co working efficace Vraiment trop bruyant
- Gasparetto (10/5): -
- Melano (10/5): Excelente - La calidez con la que todo el personal te recibe. No tengo algun comentario negativo
- Mirian (9/5): - Limpieza y las camas con cortinas y enchufe Desayuno gratuito algo escaso, pero con frutas y rico
- César (10/5): -
- Andres (8/5): - Excellent service from the staff. Special thanks to Camila, Sony, and Silvio I wish there had been more variety at breakfast, like cereal.
- Anna (8/5): Would definitely stay here again for a group trip to Mendoza. - The property is well located in a nice area of Mendoza near the centre and the big park. The dorm we stayed in was more spacious than usual with a large modern bathroom. It’s also very social and we met some great people. The included breakfast isn’t great, I think they’d be better doing an all or nothing situation than the multiple upgrade options. The garden and pool room has a flooding issue when it rains a lot.
- Anais (10/5): - Todo super bien, Camila me ayudo en todo sin problema, y a conocer bien mendoza.
Genial! Volvería!
- Ana (10/5): Hostel muy social. Excelentes instalaciones, tours, eventos y ubicacion inmejorable. 10/10 -
- David (2/5): Bad stay. If you want to party and not rest it’s great for you - The staff were friendly and lots of activities. It’s perfect if you want a party hostel with loud music and drunk teens Had to wait for forever for the bathroom and shower. Beds were u comfortable. Didn’t sleep well. Booked a hotel and left
- Jose Eduardo (10/5): Great party hostel! - Very nice vibe, there are always new people to connect with, Camila was such a great help she ensured we were all having a great time while staying at the hostel. Luca, Uriel and Adan took care of the asado night; it was a success! Thank you. They can do better with the included breakfast.
- Maria (10/5): - El lugar es muy cómodo, las habitaciones y zonas comunes son excelentes. Todos son muy amables y dispuestos a ayudarte. Me encantó la atención tan increíble de Cami, ella siempre me hizo sentir como en casa 🫶
- Sinéad (7/5): - The property is lovely and welcoming. There is a good atmosphere for bagpackers. Good music and bar and traveller activities. Insistence on paying cash as they didn’t want to pay the charge to booking.com. This caused us alot of stress worrying about trying to get cash out from ATMs which only allow limited withdrawals per day at €8 per transaction. Ultimately we did pay by card in the end. Head of toilet brush was stuck in a toilet for over 24 hours and people were defecating on top of it and it was clogged. Cleaners didn’t even notice until I pointed it out to them at which point they eventually removed it. Handle on other shared toiled room broke off and wasn’t usable so between the broken door and other blocked one, toilets were restricted for a period. Cleaners go around early in the morning playing music out loud in the halls interrupting everyone’s sleep.
- Jonas Eker (8/5): -
- Anais (10/5): - very social and fun. volunteer camila rocks she’s so friendly and helpful! def a party hostel which can be a lot but i liked it not really anything! would come back! wifi was kind of bad and breakfast was mid but that wasn’t much of an issue for me
- Yenny (9/5): - Hermosa experiencia. El lugar es súper cómodo, prolijo y con una tranquilidad que se disfruta un montón. Ideal para desconectar y relajarse.
Camila se pasó, siempre con la mejor predisposición y muy atenta a todo. Se nota cuando alguien le pone ganas y hace que la estadía sea más linda.
Me fui más que conforme, sin dudas es un lugar al que volvería y recomiendo 🤍
- Sinay (9/5): Muy bueno! - Las camas son muy cómodas, los baños son súper limpios. Me encantó el trato con Camila y con el chico rubio de la recepción que no me acuerdo su nombre, pero fue muy amable conmigo 🌿✨ Aunque entiendo las razones, el uso de la cocina me pareció un poco restringido. Hacerse el desayuno no es posible, y el cierre de la cocina es bastante temprano en la noche.
- DIANA (10/5): Great experience, everyone was very helpful and nice. Camila which is new there, was very friendly - Clean and lovely people Nothing
- Iarla (10/5): - Best hostel we've ever stayed in. Great staff and very social vibe. Highly recommend! Nada - everything was great!
- Daniela (10/5): -
- uhgox (9/5): - Todo bien Todo estuvo bien
- Angela (10/5): - El personal muy simpático, las camas tienen cortina y estaba todo limpio La escalera para subir a la cama era algo incomoda
- Mariano (9/5): Muy buena!! - Está muy bien ubicado y en gral todo funciona bien, es un hostel que está muy bien organizado. La metodología del desayuno. Ofrecen un desayuno "del día" que es muy tranqui, y no tenes la posibilidad de preparar tu propio desayuno.
- De.J (8/5): - Die Lage ist super und das Personal sehr freundlich. Die Betten sind sehr Bequem. Das WC in der Frauenunterkunft ist sehr klein und bei der Duschä könnte der Bodenteppich mehr gewechselt werden. Er war recht schmutzig
Ich war 4 Nächte dirt.
- Edina (9/5): Super! Gerne wieder! - Top Lage, gute Unternehmungen, sehr entgegenkommend! -
- Edina (9/5): -
- Dany (10/5): - La limpieza
- Agus Siraco (9/5): Hostel espectacular bueno bonito y barato - La ubicacion impecable. El aseo de los cuartos y los baños. Tiene un jardin con espacios en comun muy acogedor. Muy buena predisposicion de todos los miembros del staff Todo estuvo de 10
- Ana (10/5): Excelente todo, hostel 10/10 Staff, ubicacion, onda de los huespedes. RECOMIENDO y volveré -
- Emily (10/5): - The staff were so accommodating and friendly. It was social enough to make friends but not where it was constant and abit annoying.
- diego (9/5): Estadía cómoda y completa. - Los espacios y la limpieza del lugar.
La atención de todo el personal.
El desayuno. La cama y la almohada.
Los horarios para usar los espacios del parque. Un día teníamos tiempo para estar hasta las 02am y a las 00 apagaron todo.
Muchas paredes de durlock hacían que los ruidos ingresen a tu habitación.
- Julia (10/5): Todo fantastico. increible estadia, conoci gente de todo el mundo. ubicacion ideal -
- Dominguez (1/5): Useless staff, good location, community was no sociable - Good location Staff was supremely unhelpful in helping for activities and tours. Place was a dump, no liveliness in the hostel.
- Ellie (10/5): This was one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! -
- Waidbacher (10/5): -
- Celia (10/5): -
- Alena (9/5): Good money value hostel - Overall nice hostel. They do nice dinner options in the evening, pizza/asado nights. Beds were good. Music is bit too loud outside in the evenings. You can only pay by cash your stay. Bathroom in female 8pax door is small but ok.
- Julien (9/5): -
- Shiva (9/5): Fabulously located for the action on Aristides. - The breakfast options were good, the swimming pool is a terrific social area, and many excursions/events are offered to participate in.
It is a buzzing place to stay. This is not a dislike, but a heads up for fellow travellers, typical hostellers here are aged between 18 - 30, if you want a quiet stay, this may not be the best place for you.
- Julieta (10/5): -
- Pascal (9/5): -

- Alejandro (10/5): -
- Leandro&Cia (10/5): 2 Noches y 3 Días MAGNÍFICOS - La atención de sus anfitriones como Mati y Belu!!! Los detalles de cariño de sus colaboradores como Belen de recepción, Alan en la barra y mi súper conexión con la Santiagueña Mel que trabaja como voluntaria!!! Todos los que están en el Hostel son increíbles... No sé van arrepentir, no dejen de visitarlos! Quedarme más días... Pero volvere
- Yamilla (10/5): -
- Ayelen Biltes (10/5): - Me encantó q en el desayuno den frutas, la cama muy cómoda, habitación espaciosa, el parque divino y la sala de estar. Q se sentía un poco de ruido el dia sábado pero en gral me senti muy cómoda.
- Gabriela (10/5): -
- Gabriel Alejandro (10/5): - El ambiente, las personas, la atención, el precio, todo muy lindo!! Debería tener un menú de comidas como para que sea el lugar perfecto. Pero nada de quejas, muy buen lugar

Very nice vibe !

- Floris (8/5): Very good -
- Emily (8/5): Social and fun - Nice staff - good excursions available especially the horse ride. Social place/
- Rogerio (10/5): Beautiful place and lovely people - Dedication and their amenities Nothing
- Clare (9/5): Friendly and welcoming, great hostel I would stay here again - Breakfast included is basic but adequate, really nice space, quite a few people remote working there, although I was told the connection wasn’t always super strong. The relax space and garden was fabulous, not warm enough for me to use the pool unfortunately. Booked a horse riding trip through the hostel which was awesome. The rooms were big and the beds had curtains. Separate toilets and showers which I prefer.
- Cronin (8/5): Very good - Great location, communal spaces, privacy curtains, and staff
- Gareth (8/5): Very good - Good location, run good events and very reasonably priced, very social. Staff were generally helpful It really is a party hostel and the rooms are quiet so just depends what you’re after. Music blasting until 2am not for everyone and had two people having sex in the bathroom who ignored me telling them to go book a private room, and staff member the next morning was pretty uninterested when I told him
- Eliane (8/5): Very good - Great beds with curtains, plugs and a light. Breakfast was good and varied too. Really easy to meet people and good events run by the hostel. Loads of places to hang out and be sociable or have a more chilled time.
- Nikoleta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional - One of the very best. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The way it is set up makes it so easy to make friends. I had a really special week here meeting great people. Really good social vibe. Loved the tv room as well to binge some Netflix on a lazy day. Rooms were well organised and beds had curtain and inside light. Loved it!! Nothing.
- Pamela (8/5): Very good -
- Mike (8/5): Very good - Breakfast, terrace, energy. Shower ventilation needed.
- Florencia (10/5): Exceptional - Argentinian girl 🇦🇷 The souls that I met there 💛 I miss near all of them and we keep in touch. It's a beautiful place and very good vibes 🏹 love u all my sweeties🌏🌌💋. flor
- Basak (9/5): Modern hostel with a great location - Pros:
Almost all of the staff was incredibly friendly. Super safe, great location, comfortable beds, nice to hang out by the pool. Beds include a curtain, sockets and a light so it provides a privacy you need. I'd come back for sure.
Cons:
The price is quite high but despite that the breakfast is quite poor. What they offer changes everyday but mainly sweets, and for someone who rarely consumes sweets I barely took advantage of the breakfast included. I think if they charge between 24 to 28.000 pesos a night they should have in offer two breakfast options every day ie. Sweet and savory.
The pool is there but it's like a nice addition because it's not clean enough to swim actually. The bar is open till 2 am on Friday and Saturday so if your room is overlooking the patio it gets quite noisy.
Somehow the common showers and bathroom were in better shape than the ones that were in the rooms.
The kitchen deserves more attention for cleaning.
- Jose (8/5): Great please to chill and enjoy Mendoza… slightly pricy - The hostel is ideal to chill, the common areas are super comfy and the hostel organize asado and pizza nights ever now and then which was great, location is amazing too… the owners are most of the time at the hostel and if sonething is not ok they are super willing to fix it up… I Think price is a downer… regardless of how great the hostel is, you can get a solo room at many hotels in the area for about the same money…
- Kaj (6/5): Pleasant - Nice staff and activities, spacious rooms Kitchen is very small and unpractical, pool is not clean and overall it’s expensive for what you get.
- Écologique (10/5): Nice and lovely staff - 🌟 Amazing experience at Gorilla Hostel 🌟
I had an incredible stay at Gorilla Hostel! The location is perfect, close to the biggest park in South A and the metro, making everything super accessible.
The staff is fantastic—always friendly, helpful, and ready to give great recommendations about the city and things to do. The atmosphere is super social, perfect for meeting other travelers.
The breakfast was Allright, a great way to start the day! And the family dinner? Such a lovely experience—great food and a warm, friendly vibe that makes you feel at home.
The pool, tenis table, beer pong set-up is definitely a bonus, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
Overall, an amazing hostel that I 100% recommend! I’ll definitely be back. 😊
