 Customer Review  -  8 March 2010

I was very disappointed this place. room was very noisy because room was next to lounge where people were talking loudly midnight, We had to ask to change room. Also original room had toilet flashing problem, also key to room did not work properly etc

The place definitely had charm with the artwork. Breakfast included was good with lots of fresh fruit. Great place to meet other backpackers and the crowd wasn't too young and obnoxious. They book tickets to Uruguay for you at the front desk which was helpful. Rooftop patio great place to chilland the included breakfast is good. The only downfall is that it's not safe to walk around the neighborhood after dark. Everything closes and the streets clear out. Apparently there is a dude on the next block infamous for mugging people once the sun goes down.

I have stayed in many different locations in Argentina, but here you are being felt welcome immediately. My room was perfect, bed was perfect. Bathroom could have been better, as in my own the warm water just would not work ( I used the general bathroom and there the warm water worked good). Staff was very friendly, central rooms are convenient. Good atmosphere.

This hostel is cool, there is always people to meet or something to do on the board. The front rooms can be very noisy because of the traffic but not too bad during the night. And these are great rooms because you have a little balcony and fresh air coming here. Every room have a ceiling fan and most have cool art on the walls. The kitchen is not the best for cooking (not much equipment or space) but good enough and clean. Nice breakfast until 11am in the bar upstairs. Friendly staff and free internet.

Decor was good. Staff were mostly friendly. I felt that I and my belongings were safe. The room I had was stuffy and smelt of the damp all the time though and the kitchen was alittle grubby.

 Customer Review  -  2 February 2010

Staff were excellent - cheerful and helpful. Strange atmosphere though; it seems that the name Art Factory attracts many guests who are a little bit up themselves. Good location for most of the town - stay on a Sunday and go to the San Telmo market which is great. The bar can also be noisy. Good security in dorms, but not in private room 18!
