Spacious, friendly hostel. Nice owners, friendly dogs. The dogs will follow you for your outings so I wouldn’t recommend if you’re not a fan of them! 

Clean rooms, basic but nice. The owners will recommend a good bike tour for the wineries and plenty of good breakfast/dinner recommendations. Good value for money.

Clean, friendly, lots of dogs!

Amazing experience. Staff 10/10. Rooms 10/10. Wifi 10/10. My wife and I stayed at Lao for 5 nights in January 2022. Thanks for the good vibes and for your help with everything we needed! We definitely recommend it to everyone and we look forward to coming back soon!

Great Hostel, better customer service

Amazing hostel in a great location. Michael and Marianne are fab hosts and very helpful with any advice and bookings. The hostel has a great atmosphere, excellent canine company and their famous asado is not to be missed! Only stayed three nights but could have stayed a lot longer. Thank you both for making our stay in Mendoza so fantastic. We will return! Love Al and Al

Top hostel!!

We booked based on reviews on Trip Advisor but quickly realized our mistake as we walked in. Pretty disheveled place, dogs laying all over the furniture, and pretty loud parties
both nights we were there. The night after the second party we went downstairs to the remains which was not pleasant- no one cleaned up. I admit that we picked the wrong place  since the other guests there seemed to enjoy the place but we have stayed in hostals in other places that were a mixture of people and not party houses. We are older folks who like to stay at moderately priced lodgings.
Marianna was friendly and helpful and set us up with a transport but it is pretty much a place that functions independently with not a lot of staff.
Our room was way  overpriced for what it was but the air con was appreciated to keep the street noise down. I think Mendoza lodgings are overpriced in general.Very  noisy location.
Just a word to those who may not be aware, do not book here unless you are missing your children and need a dose of young partying travelers.

Not for us but fine for the youth who stay there

We LOVED our stay at hostel Lao. Mike and Nico were so welcoming and made us feel right at home straight away. The hostel feels more like a home away from home than a hostel, with delicious family dinners (Nico’s asados were amazing!!) and they helped us organise great day trips to the vineyards and horse riding! The hostel itself is the perfect size for meeting other travellers and the garden is so nice to chill in the sun. Our private room was so light and spacious with a super comfy bed and really nice clean bathrooms. We can’t recommend this hostel enough, we miss it already! Thank you so so much Mike & Nico! Love Ella & Madeleine xx

Our favourite hostel

We LOVED this hostel - lovely house in a central location with a cute garden to hang out in. Very sociable place that arranges an asado bbq night (which was incredible - make sure you attend hungry). Mike and Mauricio are super friendly and helpful. Naomi the hostel dog is adorable. We stayed in the Terraza room which is a private double with its own (very large) terrace with a couple of seat hammocks. extended our stay by 1 night (total of 5) because we loved it so much.

Fantastic hostel!!

This is one of the best hostels we have ever stayed in! Location is brilliant, owner and staff are both extremely helpful and good fun. Incredibly good value for money and the asado cooked for the hostel was out of this world! This is all topped off by the adorable hostel dog Naomi. We can't recommend it enough.

10/10 hostel

Very good hostel and great crew! They organize many activities, so it’s easy to meet nice people. Best thing is definately the atmosphere. Really didn’t want to leave this place. Highly recommended!😊

Best stay during trip!

I really liked this Hostel. It just had a friendly atmosphere a lot of the smaller hostels have, where the guests interact with each other. They have different themed nights as well, like they had a Asado one night and a party the following night. I liked the location as it was near enough to the bus station and main sites to walk. A very good option to consider if you are a budget traveller. 

A great little hostel

We stayed here for 2 nights in the middle of March, to visit the beautiful area of Mendoza. We stayed in the Japanese Futon Bed room which was a good standard for a hostel. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, especially Mao! He gave us lots of information and advice and has a folder in the living area which has loads of information on the local area, restaurants and trips you can do. The 2 resident dogs are lovely! And love a good cuddle, and make the hostel very homely. We didn’t use te cooking facilities, however a lot of the other travellers used all the facilities and said they were good. 

Thank you very much for a lovely stay.
