I stayed at Garden House on and off during my 5 week trip to Argentina. It was one of my best travel decisions I made. Although some people might be concerned about the location, I loved it. It was 2 blocks to the subway and an easy walk from San Telmo and the benefits far outweigh any distance setbacks. I... More

Location on San Juan isn't the nicest but the hostel is clean, staff are nice (very good Ingles) but the double en-suite room we had was painted a gaudy yellow and in general had cheap decor and bedding. Everything else was fine, the common area next to reception on the first floor is cosy and the terrace on the third... More

So we just stayed in this hostel and it is quiet to say the least. The staff are pretty rude and don't even say hello when you thank them for letting you out of the door. The rooms are dirty, (we slept in our own sleeping bags as the bedding and the pillows were filthy), the breakfast utensils were filthy... More

This was the first hostel my boyfriend and I stayed at during our 3 month trip in Argentina. The staff were extremely helpful over the internet prior to our arrival, and the taxi pick up service from the airport worked well. The hostel is a cute place in San Telmo, super close to the subte stop San Juan, and it... More

Really helpful staff, great terrace with BBQ available, wi-fi throughout which was excellent, rooms and hostel extremely clean. Well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend. One comment - hostel suggests you can't bring own water and beer as they sell these, they had run out when we arrived back at 2am so we have to wander the street which wasn't ideal.... More

A nice and cosy place to feel home in Buenos Aires. Tastefully furbished double rooms, terrace & excellent atmosphere. The location is great with places nearby where the Tango is danced at night and everything is in walking distance. Safe to walk at night, too. We felt truly home and will come back for sure!
