Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window ends at 21:30 — If you're arriving late, you'll need to coordinate with the hostel, as check-in is only between 14:00 and 21:30.
  • No private parking listed — The hostel doesn't list parking, so if you're driving in Buenos Aires, you'll likely need to rely on public parking or other arrangements.
  • Pets are not allowed — You'll have to leave your furry friends at home, as the hostel's pet policy is not allowed.
  • Basic amenities in some rooms — While many dorms have air conditioning, some rooms only have heating, which could be an issue during hot summer nights. The public areas may also lack natural light, as one reviewer noted.
