Hostel Carlos Gardel

Description:

  • If you can't get enough of Gardel in the tango clubs, then stay here, where a red wall full of his pictures is the first thing to greet you. This hostel is built into a renovated old house, and though it has been severely gutted, a few charming elements, such as marble staircases, wall sconces, and stained-glass windows, still remain. Two rooms with private bathrooms are available in this location and are reasonably priced, but with few amenities. The staff is friendly, and a large TV room off the concierge area allows for chatting with them and other patrons. A shared kitchen and an asado on the rooftop terrace provide more spaces for interacting and sharing stories of your adventures in Buenos Aires. Towels and sheets are provided for guests, along with in-room lockers; but of all the hostels, this seems to have the fewest bathrooms for the number of guests.

    Agree with the previous review, average and overpriced.

  • We had a private room with bathroom, fan only, and it was ridiculously hot. We were across the street from the main hostel, the main problem being that the room was on the ground floor...
