Most of the staff was very attentive and helpful, right across from the main plaza and close to shops/restaurants, good security - front door always locked.
The ceiling fan in the room was very useful, as we had some pretty hot days.
Got some good tips about money exchange from the staff.
This place is above average and I would definitely stay here again.

Great location

In July the hostel had many nice and interesting people from South America and beyond.  Travellers.  Friendly people.  Everything was very clean as some people are working in the hostel in exchange for accommodation - very interesting people traveling for different reasons.  Manager was great and very helpful.  A friend came from another hostel to join me here and said he much preferred it here as well.  Experience was very good and good enough that I won't even consider another hostel when I come back to Mendoza again.  Great location. 

Enjoyed very much

Hostel is in great location, one block from the main square. It is housed in a lovely building with so much potential, and while they try to promote social engagement (eg with free wine each night), when i was there it appeared it was largely the staff or their Friends who always seemed to be around drinking it, and those that were staying that did, tended to go their separate ways. Brekkie was average (but standard for south america), i.e. croissants, juice, tea, coffee. Staff were really friendly and helpful, and a winery tour we did through the hostel was great. The bathrooms however are atrocious!! some of the doors dont close, the toilet lids dont stay up so when your seated they fall on your back, the shower looked like it hadnt been cleaned since the day the building was built. Rooms and the kitchen were also very tired, didnt trust sleeping under the covers!!

Awesome location, lovely building, worst bathrooms Ive ever seen

We booked the hostel on Hostelworld. When we arrived the guy at the front desk, who said he was the new owner, said that since he just bought the hostel a week ago he has not had a chance to change the prices on Hostelworld's website. We booked for two nights. He said he would honor the price for the first night, but the second night would be double. He also could not take our card since that had not been set up yet, but we were able to pay with card at his other hostel. The hostel itself is a beautiful building with a lot of character in a great neighborhood and location. There seems to be a lot going on at the hostel, but we were the only guests besides one or two others so there wasn't much atmosphere, but it made it very quiet which was nice. The wifi signal was strong. The other girl who worked there was really nice as was the new owner, and they were both helpful with the bus routes. The rooms were clean, but a little dated. The kitchen facilities were good. There were lockers every where to keep your things safe, and all the rooms looked really nice. The only negative was the "breakfast" which was water, weak coffee, or tea and some crusty bread. If you're looking for a nice place to stay in Mendoza this is a pretty good one. Just don't book on Hostelworld or you will have a difficult time with check-in. I'm not sure the hostel is worth the double price he's charging now, but that is for you and your budget to decide.

Two Nights at average hostel

The location of this hostel is great! Super close to the main square and just a 5 minute drive from the bus station in a taxi. The main reception was clean and the kitchen ameneties were fab. The bathroms and bedrooms however left much to be desired. I'm not sure our bathroom was cleaned the whole time we were there! A terirble stench at all times and balls of hair were never removed. There are posters around the hostel explaining that eggs or pancakes are offered for breakfast. When I asked about this I was told it was 'not the season' - seasons must change over night as our friend had had pancakes the day before! (I'm still quite bitter about the pancakes). We decided not to take the wine tour through the hostel and instead got the 171 (can also get 172 or 3) bus towards Mr Hugos bikes - we hired the bikes and did our own tour which worked out much cheaper!

Not the worst but certainly not the best

After nearly 5 months of traveling through South America, I found it; South America's most disgusting hostel.  I want to preface this by saying the staff was great (they advertise they are multilingual while they definitely are not) but they were willing to always help.  That is the only good thing I can possibly say.  When you walk into your room, you are greeted by the stench of rotting oak and piss.  The ceiling has severe water damage, and mold damage.  The group bathroom has no door to the toilet as well.  The staff keeps every window in the hostel open at all times, so we left with a million bug bites.  I have definitely peed a stronger stream than the water pressure in the shower.  The breakfast in the morning is simply stale cereal and room temperature milk.  The door to our room would not open without us having to body slam it every time we wanted to leave the room.  There were only 4 other people staying in the entire hostel so the environment was awful.  It was loud on the streets every night, and since the window in our room was broken and missing glass panels on it, we were up all night listening to people yell on the street.  Hostel is in a great location though, but I would not even recommend this cesspool, dirty, smelly, disgusting hostel to even my worst enemy.
