Funky hostel in cool neighbourhood. difficult to meet other people, i am solo traveller so this was my main gripe. kitchen was minute and there is a lot of wasted space. no common area which is badly needed. bathrooms were rarely clean. | Customer Review - 16 February 2010

This hostel was really good. It is located in San Telmo, close to the Defensa markets on a Sunday. The main strip of shops and Plaza De Mayo is only a 10 minute walk away. The staff here were really helpful, especially Vicky. They took us out or told us about different places to go to listen to music. They also organised free tango lessons and a trip to the milonga. The breakfast consists of bread with dulce de leche and cream cheese, croissant, juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. It is basic but it fills you up! We originally booked for 3 nights but ended up staying 6! | Katrin Freund - 13 February 2010

The room was extremely dirty, with loads of hair and other stuff all over the floor, on my pillow and around the bed. Staff was not very friendly and not helpful. My room was on the third floor and incredibly hot. Toilets far away and door did mot close properly plus washing machine right next to it, no privacy at all !!! I have stayed in three other hotels in BA before coming here (Art Factory, Southern House and Tango and Bandoneon) and they were all so much nicer and cleaner. There is a roof terrace, but all five chairs are broken and filthy, the TV did not work etc. etc. You can certinly find a nicer hostel on Buenos Aires than Ayres Portenos. It does look very nice on the outside and staircase, floors etc. are beautifully decorated, but inside the rooms are ugly and dirty. | Ana Oliveira - 8 February 2010

Its well located, and has a friendly environment. No lift, so prepare to walk 2, 3 or 4 floors up and down! The bathrooms could be a bit more updated, but they are ok. Wouldn't mind staying there again. | Adam Smith - 5 February 2010

This place has LOADS of character, beautiful old building with high ceilings, everything is painted playfully with a tango theme, great breakfeasts, and the private rooms are just an amazing deal, I get a nice comfortable bed with a private balcony, for 95 pesos a night! The downsides: wi-fi is slow and patchy, bathrooms are stuffy and a little dirty, and not really a great hostel for meeting other travelers. But this was a small setback to be in a prime location in a hostel with great staff and an absolutely fantastic private room!!! | Anderson Albani - 29 January 2010

Not much really apart from the very basics I would expect. I had to move from this hostel as it was like a sauna and I couldn't sleep. Also there is a lot of wasted space in the hostel. Could be so much better than it is. | Stuart Armour - 23 January 2010

This is a good hostel but its size makes it difficult to meet people, the kitchen is tiny and has 3 old pots (but most people seemed to eat out - maybe because they couldn't cook), and there was no real communal area. The staff are very friendly but as they are on the ground floor and the rooms are on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd floors it was difficult to get to know them. The rooms are big and tidy with balconies and comfortable beds. They may be noisy but that is Buenos Aires for you - they are no noisier than any other hostel in the city so buy some earplugs. |  Hostel reviews are sourced from our partner HostelBookers.
