superb place. mike, the owner, contrary to the other review on this page, is from DERBYSHIRE, not sure how that makes him a "london geezer"?!! friendly, chilled, clean, homely, the doubles are excellent and the dorms comfortable with good sized lockers and open doors so no one can lock themselves in and steal everything; which seems to work as there was none of the usual hostel theft issues here. but then this really isn´t a hostel. more of a home full of interesting people who aren´t just getting hammered. the staff offer great tour info but if you dont want to do a tour they will happily tell you how to do things on the cheap and reccomend local places. they even know your name! the hostel location if perfect for me. not in the middle of gringolandia(where most of the big hostels are) so you can actually meet locals when you step out the front door. they aslo do great asados, mike really knows his way around the grill. and his wife celeste had her mum make fresh pasta one night with slow cooked beef and sauce which was to die for. a unique place that defies big business and the factory hostels/HI chains that are taking over hostelling. Go here and enjoy something real. nearly forgot, to alexander K; how lame is it to be stealing wine from decent people who open their home up and are nothing but nice. You are the reason why most hostels keep everything locked. and to put it in your reviews like it´s something to be proud of. pathetic.

Best hostel I've ever stayed in, Mike is a bit of a London geezer, but not a scum bag by any means. His wife to be was a lovely lady, and ASTOR the German Shepherd is the greatest host in all Argentina. They'll sell you beer all night, the asado is awful, you can sleep in the hammocks and they don't even mind you sneaking down into the wine cellar when they're not looking... I think!
