Michael was particularly helpful. Rooms were small but adequate. Well located two blocks from San Telmo Market. Tv in public area. Kitchen was bright and inviting. Breakfast for $4 US was decent with fruit and cheese and toast and coffee and tea and milk...Overall very acceptable.

Buenos Aires a great city, not so its people.
The solo room was very good, I was impressed. A tv would be good, but ok without. The shared room was ok, like most. There was a couple sleeping together and talking for a while until they left to party. They returned at 7:00 and disturbed the silence. Luckily I as ready to go out, so no major disturbance for me. Perhaps to the other guest. Front desk staff was unfriendly to me and many, I think. That goes in general to many Bonairenses’ service workers, 70% arrogant, dismissive, uncorteous, rude. it is real. It is a pity, for I was so impressed by the city - it is just fantastic. Too bad many spoil the excitement.

An ok hostel
Good location, great service at the reception. The rooms need refurbishment because it gets pretty cold and very noisy at night. Would recommend for people on a budget.

Great hotel in a great location!
The room was great, very clean with a clean and modern bathroom. It was in a great location, with lots of great bakeries, bars and restaurants nearby. I'd recommend Bar El Federal and Europa. The hotel also arranges lots of activities. We had an opportunity to try maté and learned about it for free, and also to do a tango class for a good price. The only issue was some other hotel users, who were discourteous when they returned late at night, making lots of noise and waking us up. Other than that, a great stay!

The Circus Hotel and Hostel is a great place to stay when in Buenos Aires. Really good facilities. Clean rooms. Great outdoor area with a small pool. It's located very close to the San Telmo market. There is the subte metro only a couple of minute walk away. Overall it's one of the best hostels in South America.
