| Pas de ventilo dans le dortoir (l'enfer quand il fait chaud et humide!), salle de bain pas très propre et pas pratique, un peu le bordel, on entend le bruit de la circulation mais très bonne localisation, bon prix et matelas ok.... | ||

| The staff Enio specialy was really friendly and helpfull. The location is really good, near from subway, shops and supermarket, from Obelisco too. The breakfst is good too (when I was there I ate bread, croissant, dulce de leche y milk and coffee). The room was a little deorganized when I arrived, of course other hosted people fault. But the staff could enforce more organization becouse it can piss other hosted off. | ||

| Girl's dorm is hot during the day in the summer. For some reason, the staff left the key in the door of the dorm when no one was there rather than hold it at the front desk. What's the point of the key then? It would be better to leave the room unlocked-at least it wouldn't be apparent that it was unlocked with the key in the door! Still, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful; there was a bathroom just for the girl's dorm, which was nice. I would stay there again. | ||

| There was one very rude woman who works there. All the guys who worked there were very nice and helpful. I just don't understand why a person like her works at a hostel. It was the dirtiest hostel I stayed at although usually I stay at hostels that have 80%-100% ratings. This one has 76% and I think that is a high for what you get. | ||

| The best part was the helpfulness of the staff, especially Lucas. The worst part is that the building is old and not well furnished. Shower water collected on the bathroom floor and had to be mopped up. It was very hot when I was there, and fans in the room would have helped. This is not a party hostel, which to me is a good thing -- I don't want my roommates to be noisy drunks. | ||

| This is ideal for a short easy walk from the bus station. No real need for a cab. The location is right in the city centre to enjoy the essence of the this beautiful city,A supermarket a block away and other shops close by. Try to take a walk into the pedestrianised commercial centre just of the main drag for an ambient atmospheric flavour of BA with restaurants, shops of all varieties and a smattering of a variety of buskers - Tango to hard rock. | ||
