We came to BA after being on a bus for 20 hours and found out that this hostel was a haven! The dorms were full, and they didn´t want to split us up into seperate dorms, so they gave us a nice private room at a very good rate. The hostel had very helpful staff, we met loads of people... more

My Age: 24 The artfactory hostel is appropriately named and definitely felt more like a boutique hostel. Pros: - Awesome San Telmo location, centrally located between Calle Defensa/San Telmo Market, Avenida Mayo, several cheap restaurants and an awesome bakery just a block away. - Breakfast was plentiful. Coffee/juice throughout the day and a pay-as-you-go fridge with cheaper-than-market prices on water/soda/beer.... more

Reception staff were lovely and very helpful with excellent English but the other hotel staff were rude and surly and made a lot of noise early in the morning. The majority of rooms didn't have a proper window and the only windows were high up onto the corridor, hence the noise. more

There are rooms in the backend as well as more centrally located rooms, so you can make your own pick,... more

I spent three days in buenos aires and I decided to stay at this lovely hostel, with a great atmosfera and cool staff. I really enjoyed my time there. A nice place to relax and meet people after a long trip. more

What a great staff, but ultimately this cold, damp and disappointing hostel is let down by the building, breakfast facilities and location. This is not the place to look for day time sleeping after a long haul flight, or indeed, a sleep in after a long night out in BA. Noise permeates every corner, and to add to the experience,... more

This hostel is unpretentious, despite being truly funky and original. The place itself sets the scene right for anyone that wants to get to know the bohemian throb of Buenos Aires. After being on a road for a while, it was nice to stay in a cosy room (with a comfy bed and hot shower) at an affordable price. For... more
