Stayed here for one week in the dorm rooms. They have a Decent argentinan breakfast (croissants, coffee/tea, fruit).

None the less, we gambled on my choice. It was busy even for off season at Portal del Sur, we walked in and... More

Very central location. Staff are polite and available but nothing extraordinary. Nice patio and small bar on the roof. Most rooms including dorms... More
