Rayuela is the best hostel if you want a real and personal experience. Other hostels in BA feel commercialized and lack that at-home feel you get at Rayuela. It’s smaller and more intimate which allows for better socializing and quality time. For example, instead of just going out to party (which we did that too), there were many nights where we stayed in and cooked each other meals from our home countries or watched movies in the living room until 2am. The owners are very chill and down to earth and the faculty is very warm and welcoming. I stayed there for a month but definitely could have stayed much longer.

Good place to make lasting friendships

We enjoyed our stay here - location is good for walking to San Telmo, the Opera House, etc. Breakfast is good and the staff are all friendly. Thank the lord for the air con at night too as the hostel can get so hot. The bathrooms are OK although the lock is dodgy on one of them and the other shower the drain seemed pretty blocked but they were both clean. Nice balcony - not much atmosphere but I’ve found this can be the case in city hostels!

Nice hostel, good location

We arrived at the hostel and all seemed well, the Irish guy who checked us in was in good spirits and showed us round and then to our rooms. 

This is when things went down hill. One of our bed sheets clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a long time, evident by a suspicious white substance on the sheets. On top of this, the AC in the room gave off absolutely no cool air, so subsequently it was incredibly hot. 

In terms of staff we had mixed feelings. As said above the guy who checked us in was v nice as were 2 other members of staff; however none of them had a huge amount of time for any of the guests. The owner was about frequently but made no attempt to talk to us, which was a shame. A further 2 members of staff were obnoxious and unbearable. 

We booked this hostel due to the promise of great Asado, but we chose to go out instead due to the unfriendly nature of some staff members. We arrived back at about 12 midnight expecting the Asado to be winding down, but we soon learned that there was another 2 courses to arrive. Despite the large sign that stated people should be respectful and quiet after midnight, the hostel was still deafeningly loud by 2:30am: seemingly most of the noise came from some staff members.

We were unfortunate by guests who arrived drunk in the rooms in the very early hours (5am etc) shaking peoples beds and waking up the whole dorm. Breakfast was also only served when the staff could be bothered to wake up so it was inconvenient for those leaving early. 

By the end of the stay we were absolutely ecstatic to leave after getting only 1.5 hours sleep. I would not recommend this hostel to anyone, there are better options or else use air bnb. 


Disrespectful and dirty

This place was perfect. Great social atmosphere, perfect location, good price, helpful staff and amazing food!!

I've stayed in many hostels and this one is among the best I've ever stayed at.

Do yourself a favor and stay here

Amazing Hostel

Nice hostel situated very central in San Telmo close to metro, bus stations and many historical/cultural sites. The staff is lovely and the athmosphere is very social and welcoming. They are  active with doing activities with the guests such as going to tango bars and having barbecues etc. 
Perfect hostel where it's very easy to meet new friends.

Lovely place

Great place to stay while in BA. Staff is friendly, rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. Spacious and social hostel. It is very hard to find as it is on an unmarked building with two sets of locked doors, up dark stairs and inside an unlabeled sliding door. I felt safe here. The lockers are virtually non-existent.

Great Place to Stay

Amazing hostel. In my top 1% throughout my year in South America. Super friendly and helpful staff - this really makes a difference! Georgia was particularly awesome! Would definitely, definitely stay here again.

Top, top hostel!

This hostel is excellent! An initial error with my booking was dealt with efficiently & far surpassed what I could have expected, reflecting the ethos of this place & its staff, who genuinely care about you & your stay. I felt really looked after from the moment I arrived. 

Everything is clearly designed with travellers in mind - ample plug sockets, clean, super comfy beds, delicious/varied breakfast, amazing kitchen, great communal dinners and comfy communal areas, where it is easy to meet other travellers,  and great and reliable wifi. The staff have loads of local knowledge which they are only too happy to patiently share with you. 

Not a party hostel outright but met really cool people (guest and staff / volunteers alike) and had a really fun time here. There are hostel outings / activities each day for those who want to get involved. 

Definitely one of my favourite hostel stays this far and would highly recommend to anyone visiting BA. 

Everything you could want

If you are in Buenos Aires try and stay here. Nice small hostel with incredible vibes. The people who work there are amazing and helpful. Breakfast was the best with homemade bread and cake. Beds comfy, showers great. Kitchen one of the best to cook in and the location is amazing.
I was sad to leave, his is the best value for money hostel we have been to in south America.

One of my favorite hostels

Great first stop in Buenos Aires and this was partly down to the hostel manager, Rhys.  He saved our lives on more than one occasion and was super knowledgeable so thanks! Monserrat was a great location as it seemed to be in the middle of everything. Would definitely recommend the hostel to anyone. Very chilled vibe too.
