Near to the hostel you can find the most important touristic places like the Government Palace, the Congress Building, the Cabildo, the South America's first train station, the Independence House and plenty more. You also have a lot of restaurants, banks, boutiques, bars and pubs in the area.

We have shared dorms and private rooms available with comfortable beds (with or with a/c). There's a TV room where you can see some of our DVD's or just watch cable TV, a beautiful courtyard to relax, a fully equipped kitchen, free internet access and free WiFi.

Our hostel is at the centre of the historical downtown, there's no need to take a bus to see the most important spots. And if you feel like party, we have the best advice for that.
