We spent four days at Buenos Aires and had a double room at Ayres Porteños which is located a few blocks from the San Telmo Quarter. All the walls are nicely painted with Tango themes, the rooms have high ceilings and are comfortable, our double room was equipped with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a chair. The... More

A very nice place to stay, in the heart of San Telmo (the true Buenos Aires), with a great service, reception very helpful (especially Cristian who is one of the best receptionist i've ever met during my trips. And a very very good person too.) The terraza, at the last floor is amazing, you can do "parillas" (bbq) and take... More

This hostel was like a welfare hotel for young people. Every night until 2 or 3 a.m., youths would loiter in the common areas, hallways, and stariwells gabbing loudly. The hostel has 10 meter ceilings, so sound bounced around like an echo chamber. There was a breakfast table right outside my room. At 7:30 a.m., it was like people were... More

Breakfast is the best I've ever tried in any hostel, they serve even fruits and yoghurt :-) The bathroom was always clean and they also offered me... More

Positives: Great breakfast, clean room & bathroom, good upkeep, reasonably priced, central location, some of the staff were knowledgeable & friendly Negatives: Some of the staff were unhelpful/unfriendly & seemed disinterested, very loud at all hours of the day/difficult to get a good nights sleep, unequipped/small kitchen Overall a decent stay, but some improvements could definitely be made.

The staff was really helpful and friendly. Breakfast was best I've had in all BA hostels i've stayed at. Location is also really good if you want to explore San Telmo. Independencia Subte station is quite near too.

Terrible hostel. Bathrooms were a joke, kitchen wasn't a kitchen and it was full of 16 year old Argentinian kids shouting and screaming until 5am. I've no idea how this hostel got good reviews but something has definitely changed if these are genuine. An absolute discrace and a waste of time. Wouldn't let my dog sleep there. (and I've traveled... More

Hello Alex! First of all I would like to apologize for disapointing you. What you have experienced is not usual in our hostel, because we don´t guest 16 years old groups, but that day we received a desperated call from the airport because the airline cancelled its flight because of the volcano ashtrays. We are the biggest hostel in San... More

We had high hopes for this hostel, but sadly something here seems to have really fallen apart. The only positive comment I have is that the art and wall paintings are tasteful and well done. Apart from that, our stay was terrible. The showers were barely on and had no temperature control. The bathrooms were wet and smelly. The kitchen... More

Hi, Anna! First of all I want to thank you for your words and, at the same time, to apologize for disappointing you! We really love when people have an excellent stay, but your post make us look and see what could happen when you were here because (as you can see) we don’t have negative posts usually… About water...
