Circus is a small hotel in the San Telmo district of Buenos Aires. It seems to be run for mostly younger travelers but four of us in our 60's stayed there for one week. We found it comfortable, clean and well run. We liked the location because it is in the center of the old part of the city. We... More

I stayed here in 2011, i had good experience here as it is a mix between hotel and hostel without the bedbugs! Service wasnt too bad but could be better..overall if u ignore that, the downstairs common area and pool area are a great way to meet people and experience this wonderful city!

The facilities are modern and stylish, very relaxing vibe, practical common areas such as the pool and TV area. WIFI did work while we were there but mainly around the common areas. Staff was helpful thought needs to get a bit more informed about the city and things to do. Rooms are simple, but really clean. Bathrooms are also clean,... More

My wife and I have stayed here a few times. The staff are great, the food is awesome, the air-conditioning is just right and the pool really helps to beat the summer heat. the living room with a nice big t.v. and internet is very comfortable and the beds are really comfy and have nice white linen. Careful though, remember... More

As most travellers have noted, this isn't the place to stay if you want five star or even three star comforts. This is a hostel at the end of the day. The facilities they have means they can very easily convert it to a three star hotel with not much further investment, but they prefer to run it as a... More

Noisy unclean hostel. I was overcharged by the rude reception staff and then they refused to refund the difference. When i challanged the bill (once they had billed my credit card)They claimed some other people we had been hanging out with in the hostel hadn't paid their bill and we had to pay it because we had been associating with...

I went here based on reviews on Tripadvisor for reasonable price hotel in San Telmo. I was a bit disappointed I had to sit around for nearly 3 hours, till after 3 pm, to check in, but maybe this is normal? No TV or phone in the room, which was small. And noisy, yo ucan hear the next rooms quite... More

This place is great. There is a pool, a pool table and a bar. Staff during my week-long stay was great (although those staff members were temporal). It's located in San Telmo, a place were not many other hostels are located. However, it's a great area to explore. Non touristic, many wine bars and restaurants on almost every corner. 10... More

The Circus is a fitting name for this hotel. My friends and I entered to a clean and friendly hotel when we arrived with completely competent desk staff. By that night, though, my friends and I found ourselves faced with an incompetent and unhelpful desk staff member. At breakfast we found ourselves facing dirty tables that took what felt like...

highly recommend this place. We are a middle aged couple and stayed only for 1 night but we liked it a lot as well as the location. Clean, reasonably priced, good breakfast, good shower and a/c.
