    This is a really nice hostel and very hip. It's a great location in San Telmo, I wasn't sure if I would feel safe at night in the neighbourhood, but I did. The breakfast is fantastic (worth paying extra for) and there are 2 pools, one of which is on the roof! We were only there for 2 days, but it's a really nice space. The welcome drink was a nice touch too.

    This hostel was one of my best hostels in South America. The staff is very friedly and helps you out everytime. Backpackers are welcome as kind of friends rather than tourists. Special thanks to Roman ;) The hostel is very clean and well located since San Telmo is close to the city center or La Boca. They offer free guided tours for the people who are staying at the hostel and inform you every day via Whatsapp about what's going on in Buenos Aires or they give advices. Furthermore I also enjoyed the good breakfast.

    Nice and clean facilities with friendly staff. I didn't use the pool so I cannot comment on that but it was always busy. I stayed at 4-bed dorm and it was very spacious, with large lockers that I managed to fit my 65l backpack and carry-on luggage, and still had space in the locker. The beds are comfy and have privacy curtains too. Very close to the Plaza de Mayo and all the restaurants. Nice cafes nearby with better and cheaper breakfasts than the one served at the hostel. Very safe area and close to transport links.

    Great location, safe, near many restaurants and one of the yellow city hop on hop off bus stops (at park). I was in one of the cheaper downstairs rooms but still very acceptable. All staff were exceptionally helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. I will add that I moved here from another cheaper place also on Booking.com that I felt very unsafe at. Would not go out after dark there but this place where L'Addresse is, was great.

    Great location, staff was friendly and helpful and the price was really cheap. It was also safe. It did definitely look and feel like a $5 a night hostel though. It isn't a luxury hostel by any stretch of the imagination, but it doesn't pretend to be.
