Convenient place to stay, near lots of cafes and city center

Nice terrace you can enjoy the view from there. Kitchen accessories were kind of broken. The place is functional, doesn't look so nice as in the pictures. Small unfunctional bedroom. They charged 10 usd more than the declared price in the app because i was paying with card. The personal was reserved.

Michael was particularly helpful. Rooms were small but adequate. Well located two blocks from San Telmo Market. Tv in public area. Kitchen was bright and inviting. Breakfast for $4 US was decent with fruit and cheese and toast and coffee and tea and milk...Overall very acceptable.

The solo room was very good, I was impressed. A tv would be good, but ok without.
The shared room was ok, like most. There was a couple sleeping together and talking for a while until they left to party. They returned at 7:00 and disturbed the silence. Luckily I as ready to go out, so no major disturbance for me. Perhaps to the other guest.
Front desk staff was unfriendly to me and many, I think. That goes in general to many Bonairenses’ service workers, 70% arrogant, dismissive, uncorteous, rude. it is real. It is a pity, for I was so impressed by the city - it is just fantastic. Too bad many spoil the excitement.

The room was clean and fine but the AC conditioner was not cooling, it was just normal air at same temperature than outside (30 degrees in Bueno Aires). The hotel is near from the center of Bueno Aires. This hotel apply the Blue rate (1 Euro = 375 Pesos / March 2023) and they don't apply the Official rate (1 Euro = 200 Pesos / March 2023). The price of the shuttle taxi from airport to the hotel is between 6300 pesos (AEP) and 8000 pesos (EZE) while in the expedia page it is written 700 pesos..

The room was great, very clean with a clean and modern bathroom. It was in a great location, with lots of great bakeries, bars and restaurants nearby. Id recommend Bar El Federal and Europa. The hotel also arranges lots of activities. We had an opportunity to try maté and learned about it for free, and also to do a tango class for a good price. The only issue was some other hotel users, who were discourteous when they returned late at night, making lots of noise and waking us up. Other than that, a great stay!

The Circus Hotel and Hostel is a great place to stay when in Buenos Aires. Really good facilities. Clean rooms. Great outdoor area with a small pool. Its located very close to the San Telmo market. There is the subte metro only a couple of minute walk away. Overall its one of the best hostels in South America.

Really nice hostel. Lovely staff and activity board. Comfortable dorm, own power point and locker. Small, but good bathroom facilities. Really nice communal area downstairs with tables, chairs, couches and outdoor seating and pool.

Very clean. If you're booking the hostel, you will have a comfortable sleep but not much of a social vibe as it is a hotel that opened up some dorm rooms. Value for money. Will stay again when I'm in Buenos Aires.

Really nice hostel. I was in a room of 4, only 1 bunk bed. Each bed has its own light, power outlet, and 2 pockets to store or charge items. Parrilla 4 doors down with sandwiches starting at 90ARS! Pool needed city clearance but nice outdoor area. Big dining area with indoor and outdoor seating. Nice tiling and painting throughout.

4.0
This is not a fancy place by any means, but the quad room worked well for traveling with our college-aged kids, and it was good value for the price. The location (San Telmo) is pretty convenient -- plenty of restaurants nearby, 10 min walk to Plaza Dorrego and 20 minutes to Plaza de Mayo. The staff was wonderful -- they all spoke English and were very polite and helpful. The bathrooms are quite small but were fine. There aren't many amenities (such as pool or laundry facilities).

Very good location, super friendly staffs also I love the back yard as you can meet and hangout with people there.
2.0
Good location if you like a worn down area with many bars and restaurants. The hotel has a good breakfast, is clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the pool was not open to use because of winter time (even though it was over 25 C outside).
I would not describe it as a hostel because of the guests there - during my stay families and pensionists, so the hostel atmosphere doesn't come up.
