Hostel Sol in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Never stay there again. I went there a day later than originally ordered b/c of flight. Even that the staff seemed not remembering my order and arranged me a triple room as a private, saying that no room was left. There were no air conditioner in it, what's worse was that ventilation was down, they never managed to fix it. Staff did not speak English much. Ones who live in seemed to be a group of mobs who did not have jobs and stay for months. Neither did they have travel plan.Worst day in BsAs Jiaju, from China ~ 2nd Jan 2012

great staff... except for a cheap lady who works in the mornings and afternoons and who did not let us have breakfast on the 1st day before 10am because we had not paid for the day and although we were ready to pay for it!! we found out later that she was more interested in business (she tried to sell us some dinners at very expensive Tango places although we kept repeating that we were not interested!!!) than in providing a good service to the customers.

We had a lot of problems in this hostel. First of all, we had booked a private room and when we get there didn't have any room for us. So they put us in an empty shared room wich terrible conditions. Were a very old room, very dirty and the water in the bathroom was cold. Later we got to know that was the worst room in the hostel. Another problem was with the breakfast. Was suppose to be served from 8h to 10h AM, but when we get to the common area at 9h there was nothing more in the table. Antonio, from Brazil ~ 1st Jan 2012

The room I got had no ventilation, so the smell was bad. It seems guest there stay for months, so the common areas in the room were all taken. It is very close to a Subte station, although the zone is not very nice and attractions are not close by walking. Daniel A., from Mexico ~ 9th Nov 2011

This is a strange hostel. Felt like I was staying in a halfway house of some description. Friendly staff, but incredibly slow. Tinykitchen, no tv room, cold bathrooms, luke warm water. Cheap option. Petros, from England ~ 24th Jul 2011
