“ACHUMA STINKS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2009

Achuma is very well located for the day but at night the neighbourhood is empty and a bit dangerous. I spent a night at this seedy hostel after having been deceived by its page online. Booked a double for 3 nights for me and my kid. Sent deposit for half of total. On the first night raucous partying in reception area right in front of my door. Drunk singing and shouting for ages. Music at full blast untill 5 am. Arguing over beers. Unbearable!!! Also filthy bathroom and the place is falling to pieces, literally!! Pictures lie!! I decided to leave next morning, as I asked if it might be the same that night and the answer was yes! I don't mind a nice party but this was really outrageous! I lost part of my deposit as the owner wouldn't refund it and she even had the cheek to blame me for not complaining. I think she couldn't care less. Beware of what you read on the net!!! Loved Rosario anyway after changing to a decent hostel!!

“incompetent and unhelpful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2008

Having booked a double room by email we arrived after an overnight bus journey to find that our reservation had not been entered into the system. The reception staff were thoroughly unhelpful in sorting out the problem and we ended up staying elsewhere.

The lockers do not lock and there is no secure luggage storage. The communal areas are small. In comparison to other hostels it is in the top end of the price range, thoroughly without justification.

“Achuma Rocks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2008
1
person found this review helpful

From our first contact with the people from the hostel we´ve got a good feeling, they were very helpful, not only with the reservation but also with the things to see and do in Rosario.
Upon arrival we were received by one of the owners, Flavia, she was really niced and showed us to our accomodations, and from them on we´ve only had fun.
Everyday we´d arrange difference things to do arround the city or great parties at the hostel terrace.
Regarding the bulding it´s a prety cool place, it´s an old recycle house with all brand new goods, which is really hempful when getting a service and using it´s common areas.
The bedrooms are really spacious, so shearing the room with others wasn´t a problem cause we had plenty space.
Last, but I think the most important thing, was that we could stay latter than in other hostel, so we could sleep longer =)
So if you ever decide to go to Argentina, and get to know this fantastic city, stay at Achuma hostel, is GREAT!!!!
