Puerto Limon Hostel

The double room I rented with a private bathroom was of a good size, with a TV (Spanish-speaking channels only) and a very comfortable bed. The shower has a good pressure. The hostel has great staff (reception is 24h), a good vibe, big kitchen and a very nice lounge area. They also organise activities throughout the week, e.g. mate seminars, tango classes etc. which is a nice option if you do not feel like going out. The biggest advantage is the location, just a few blocks from the San Telmo market. There are many great restaurants nearby and the closest tube station is San Juan.

The hostel's policy on booking.com clearly states "children not allowed" yet there were a few kids with their families present during my stay, so that's something you may want to clarify in your policies. A simple electric kettle in the kitchen would be nice addition, because if someone is cooking, you have to wait to just get some hot water ;)

Nice common area. Well equipped kitchen. Nice atmosphere and location in San telmo.

You get no key for the room, everybody can roam around the property as they wish. There are only 3 toilets / showers which are not very clean. Some bunk beds are positioned in a weird way: your face is next to the other person's feet.

The location is great, the decoration is nice and the lockers really big.

Well, the climatisation is terrible, the rooms with the air conditioning is extremely cold and the places corridor, kitchen, sharing room and showers were too hot (Specially the toilets with shower, impossible to take a shower and don't sweet) The kitchen is big but in my opinion it needs more staff to cook.. Not boiler, not coffee simple machines etc. Some of the beds have the connectors broken, so not possible to charge your phone.
