America Del Sur Hostel

“Great for starting travelers.”

Very good experience here! Good beds, good showers, but above all amazing staff. Very helpful for making your BA experience perfect. Special thanks to Juliette and Roman. Great people who were extremely friendly and gave great tips on how to explore BA!

“Best choice ever!”

Well, that hostel has got everything you'd want when you're traveling on a tight budget. The staff are kind, funny, and attentive, the spaces are clean, the rooms are modern, and it's right smack dab in the center of everything in the soulful city center (San Telmo).

The staff are kind, funny, and attentive, the spaces are clean, the rooms are modern, and it's right smack dab in the center of everything in the soulful city center (San Telmo). Plus, there are activities organized by the hostel staff every day. My plan was originally to stay there for 3 days, but I ended up staying for almost a month! Oh, and when you walk in, make sure to ask for Ramon and shout "BUENOOOOOSS AIREEEEEEEES" - that'll score you a 50% discount on chili bombs across the street :P @Nicole, Roman, Juliet, Eze, Manuel: Thanks a bunch, guys! You made my stay unforgettable. See you soon <3

The best part was the people who work at the front desk in the daytime. They were so nice and friendly and helpful and welcoming and just great. The worst part was that coming down in the mornings you get a visceral sense of (the gross kind of) drunks from the wee hours beforehand. They maybe shouldn’t be allowed in the kitchen if they are that drunk?Or maybe they should be encouraged to clean up after themselves just a little more? Sinks were stopped up with food, full of dirty water and dishes. stovetops covered in oil and gunk and bits of pasta. all surfaces gunked up and covered with dirty dishes etc. The dishes sitting in the drying rack that were supposed to be the clean ones, well.. this is the kitchen that can bring out some ocd and germaphobia, even if you’re not prone to it. Scientists should look here to discover new strains of rare bacteria. All this said, the hostel employs several women who come and diligently clean this mess every morning. they do an amazing job. It was kind of weird and sad to see them cleaning up after drunks day after day and nothing is said to the people to gently encourage them to clean up after themselves. but it was clean when they were done, and they were nice as well. Yesterday late morning there was a guy still passed out on the sofa downstairs that we could all see from the common room. The rooms are clean, basic and fine.
