| The staff was very helpfull but we don't think they ever done the excursions they try to sell the visitors, as those excursions were don't really worth doing.
The Tango Show was OK, but the service and food included weren't. A second excursion we booked with them was visiting an estancia, but we sat more time on the bus (4,5h) than in the estancia (only 4h), which was a big disappointment!
But beside the not so successful excursions the hostel was OK. | ||

| *The private twin room was small but nice, especially considering the price. The shared bathroom was clean, breakfast was reasonable. Great place to meet other backpackers. Small disadvantage is that you can't pay by credit card. | ||

| I was told the staff were rude and they lived up to that expectation treating us with disdain for asking completely reasonable things like, can we check in. The private rooms were also located next to the dorms and so most nights we were woken up by noisy party goers coming home. The supposed fully equipped kitchens did not even have basics like a fridge, cups or cutlery. Lucky the food is cheap in BA so there wasn't a great need to eat in. | ||

| At arrival we had to ask for the alternative for the kitchen (no cooking plate available on shared appartment) and the kitchen on level 2 (A-side) was not very clean. Suggestion: tell about the kitchen at the introduction
After our first shower we had to ask how to have a shower with hot water (answer: turn on the tap in the kitchen nextdoor - that worked). Suggestion: tell about the shower at the introduction | ||

| There was no warm water, food I left out got stolen, the breakfast was pathetic. Everything was barely passing, so it is fine for crashing, but not for staying really. | ||
| 19 Oct 2011 Kate, Australia | 100% | |
| Hostel Suites Obelisco is a really nice hostel with friendly feeling, great location and very clean. | ||

| A great hostel to stay in. Its best asset by far is its fabulous staff. They were so helpful. It is also a great central location just minutes from the subway and bus routes. All of the staff speak fluent English. | ||
