We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the city as well as the hostel very much. The rooms were clean and the hostel is located very close to the centre. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Even after my stay, they took the trouble to send me my USB-stick I left at the hostel. Thanks again!

I booked a night here over Easter weekend and arrived at 1am to be told I would need to check out at 10am the next day as they had no room the next night (fair enough, my bad), David on reception had no suggestions of any other hostels I could look at, so I spent a couple of tiring hours... More

Mendoza es linda! But this hostel is just OK. The staff was nice at first, but annoyed with any requests after check-in. They didn't tell us that there was a party of 30+ teenage Argentines staying with them when a friend and I checked into the last available beds, and that didn't make our first few nights very hospitable, but...

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Sorry to hear you did not have a positive experience here. We've made some changes in the hostel rules regarding "quite hours" policy but please, keep in mind we're located right in the heart of Mendoza's nightilfe so this hostel sometimes might turn into a "party hostel" specially in peek season....

I am currently traveling back home, thinking that the only thing that could have improved about my entire vacation in Mendoza, was the place where I stayed. The managers, cleaning staff, and breakfast workers were all very friendly, and we especially want to thank their waiters at their bar. However, three out of four receptionists were very rude, lazy, and... More

We took a week to do remote working from Mendoza and the hostel was great for that, we booked a room for us with a shared bathroom that was allways clean and the internet connection was great, the common area is not the best for working but it was good enough (wifi didn't reach the backyard). Staff is nice and... More

Our room was all right and the ensuite bathroom as well. The mattresse was saggy and uncomfortable. The staff was nice, we enjoyed the horsebackriding-trip, they recommended very much. But it really was the worst breakfast ever. The bread was old, hard and dry, from the day before and the coffee was horrible.

We stayed here for three days recently, and left more exhausted than when we got here. Unfortunately we were there over Easter weekend, so every hostel in town was booked and we couldn't relocate. It's also quite possible that another weekend when there are less guests this place has a completely different vibe. The staff downstairs is very friendly, and... More
