The Nightmare on Recoleta!!

The place was not very clean and while my stay, they never clean the shower rooms. Also, the desk clerk was rude.

Good hostel, charming, but with a few problems

The hostel is good for the money. It is not clean, especially the kitchen is not, and could do with some knifes, spoons and forks, as well as plates. Also the sevage has a rather big problem, as the toilet makes the room stink. That being said, the hostel is charming, well positioned, close to city center. In a stylish old building, but quite well kept.

Shower head in middle of bathroom. You have to squeege the water yourself to the drain. Bathroom is shared, not private as advertised. Bed bugs, and mosquitoes in bedrooms. Horrible experience.

This is a tourist trap. Pictures do not represent the conditions of the proprty. I was received by a staff member that had no problem yelling at me. Beds were not made, blankets were filthy so was the bathroom. During the check-in we were told silverware and diningware was no available, despite it is announced as an ammenity. We booked a triple room and were received with an 8 bunk bed dormitory. We did not stay, and had to book a last-minute expensive room somewhere else.

Quarto sem condições de hospedagem

A localização é excelente, a poucos minutos do obelisco. Infelizmente, quarto sem condições de hospedagem. Tubulação hidráulica exposta, manchas de sujeira, armário quebrado, chuveiro muito ruim de ajustar temperatura, com uma base tipo bacia com ralo e cortina plástica. Não tem suporte para toalhas e itens pessoais. Depois de duas noites, mudei para outro hostel.

Lugar centrico, mejorable pero funcional.

Es un hostal muy bien ubicado, perfecta locación, te puedes ir caminando a todos lados. El lugar es viejo y la manutención del local no es la mejor de todas, sin embargo el precio que se paga se puede esperar algo así. Si nada mas tenés que dormir y guardar tus cosas no tiene tanto inconveniente. Sin embargo, se podrían mantener un poco mejor la limpieza de los baños y sobretodo una fumigada para que no ataquen los moscos. La atención en la recepción es buena y amable.

El lugar está bien en relación precio/calidad. Es un establecimiento antiguo con todo lo que eso implica. Cuando llegamos a nuestra habitación el aire no funcionaba pero nos hicieron llegar un ventilador para pasar la noche. El personal que trabaja allí es muy atento y amable.

Hotel Impresentable

Hotel muy feo nada recomendable, es tenebroso. Gente entrando y saliendo a los gritos a toda hora, de uno de los baños no salia agua caliente, me lo habían recomendado de Expedia porque el que yo habia pedido no estaba, y realmente es perverso que recomienden algo así.
