Staff is somewhat pleasant. Some are espetacular, e.g. Aldana and Francisco. Other are average. And a couple of them have no hospitality skills, they are always prepared TO AVOID YOU, especially when a guest clearly needs help.

Overall, do not expect a 'Four Season' resort. This is a hoStel, a good one, and above average. There are individual and shared rooms .

Vale a pena pela localização!

O hostel é muito bem localizado, fica em uma ótima rua cheia de bares e restaurantes. Não fica longe dos pontos de ônibus também. Todas as camas possuem tomadas, nem todas são do modelo universal. Os quartos são bem espaçosos, mas bem quentes. O café da manhã é gostoso através de um voucher em uma cafeteria que pertence ao hostel. O atendente Matheus e o outro rapaz são muito educados e atendem muitíssimo bem. A única coisa que detestei e fiquei irritado quando cheguei foi o atendimento da moça de cabelo curto que demonstra total apatia e muita má vontade no atendimento, parece que não quer estar ali.

Reserve por medii de una plataforma, la cual es también una estafa, Expedia, cuando llegue al ñugar me dijeron que no tenian la habitación, que habia sido error del sistema que ellos no se podian hacer cargo y no me quieren ni quisieron devolverme el dinero, pesimos como empresa, cero soluciones.

Hostel calmo e confortável

Os atendentes foram muito gentis. Eu cheguei no dia 9 e precisava fazer o pagamento na entrada, porém solicitei que eu passasse o cartão na virada da noite (dia 10) e compreenderam perfeitamente. Ganhei um drinque muito saboroso. Minhas vizinhas/ parceiras de habitação foram muito queridas. Todos outros hóspedes muito respeitosos. Cumpriram os horários de silêncio. Banheiro limpo e ducha muito boa. Gostei muito do hostel. Se eu tiver outra oportunidade de voltar, vou ver para me hospedar novamente lá.
Duas reclamações: Na minha cama, não tinha escada. Nas outras tinha. Teve um dia que faltou água, PORÉM arrumaram em poucas horas.
Conclusão: gostei muito.

Buona posizione

La struttura è in una ottima area, abbastanza vicino alla metropolitana lunea D, parecchi locali dove mangiare . Noi abbiamo soggiornato in camera doppia. Spaziosa, essenziale , un po trascurata....un ostello nella media. Unico difetto le camere danno su un patio con tavolini....c'è da sperare che gli ospiti non si soffermino troppo la sera a chiaccherare altrimenti non si dorme....
Personale molto gentile e disponibile.

Um lugar agradável para alguns dias

O quarto é grande e confortável. A água é bem agradável. O bairro é bem legal para sair pela noite, com muitas opções. O pessoal da recepção também é bem simpático.O único inconveniente é que o quarto está ao lado da recepção e dá para ouvir o som vindo de lá e as conversas. Pela manhã teve um hóspede que discutia com o pai no viva voz na frente da minha porta e tive que ouvir tudo, sem ninguém da recepção interferir. Porém quando meu irmão foi me visitar, parecia que eu tinha feito algo de errado, pois não tinham avisado as regras do hostel. No café da manhã faltam coisas mais saudáveis, como queijo e ovos, que são servidos em alguns hostels que já visitei.

No se dejen engañar

Sinceramente yo lo tome por el precio y cercanía del medico que tenia que asistir, me quede una sola noche y me cambie de hotel por la mala calidad del hotel me pareció una barbaridad el cobro por 2 noches de 90 dolares.El dormitorio sin baño, eso lo sabía,, sin teléfono sin TV, yo lo compre porque en lo que me mandaron decía 465 pesos las dos noches que es lo correcto que se cobrara por un hotel que no se puede llamar hotel, pero me enojo mucho cuando me cobraron 90 dolares, los pagué y me quedé una sola noche en esa posilga que ni los colchones eran comodos me extraña que ustedes .
ofrezcan ese hotel y me olvidaba que quise leer y la pieza tenia un velador que ni se veia tuve que desarmarlo para poder leer, no contratare nunca mas por intermedio de uds un hotel
Perdi 45 dolares pero otra noche en ese lugar imposible

El hotel está en el corazón de Palermo Soho muy céntrico si quieres bares, restaurantes y shopping cerca, pero realmente no es nada cómodo las camas son incómodas no esta muy limpio y las instalaciones no son adecuadas, además no hay aire acondicionado!!!

El personal es muy amable pero el hotel es realmente para quedarse una noche a lo mucho.
