Circus Hostel

衞生打掃及時，設施齊全，公共區域寬敞乾淨明亮

Location in San Telmo is near Plaza de Mayo and Caminito in La Boca, but quite far from Palermo (another important area of town with many sights). Sections of San Telmo neighborhood are not always safe after dark. The hostel is well-organized and managed. Checking in and payment went smoothly. Staff speaks English. There is an elevator and my room -though small- was comfortable with shower and separate toilet. In addition to the common space near the pool on the ground floor, there is a kitchen with a big table and a spacious lounge area as well on fifth floor (rooftop). Most of the time it is quiet there! Wifi worked well and the place is kept clean. They allow people with a snoring disorder to sleep in the dormitory. Just one person ruined night rest of all other guests. I escaped to the roof and had a couple of hours of sleep on a sofa. The others did not sleep at all. The kitchen is ill-equipped. There are only two very big pots (for family dinners?). The stove runs on electricity and has four spots to cook, but only two are functional. Moreover, it takes a long time to heat up anything (15 minutes or more, before you can start cooking). There are no bowls, or deep plates. So you end up eating your soup out of a very big pot. No towel included in the price.

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.

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

Buenos Aires a great city, not so its people. 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.

Not nice time at the hotel Bathroom too small Cant take a good shower No air condition working Open the Windows for fresh air And a bar open till 4 am. People talking too load AND bad words
