Location:
"Great location and lovely common area and nice staff but we stayed in two different private rooms and neither were great - the modern block has few windows and sound travels badly and the old block was damp, breakfast could really do with a few extras beyond 1 type of cereal and 1 type of bread and jam." — source Hostelworld

More information on Hostel Carlos Gardel
If you can't get enough of Gardel in the tango clubs, then stay here, where a red wall full of his pictures is the first thing to greet you. This hostel is built into a renovated old house, and though it has been severely gutted, a few charming elements, such as marble staircases, wall sconces, and stained-glass windows, remain. The location is also very new, having opened in March 2004. Two rooms with private bathrooms are available in this location, but at US$35 (£19), they are expensive, considering the lack of amenities other than a bathroom. The staff is friendly, and a large TV room off the concierge area allows for chatting with them and other patrons. A shared kitchen and an asado on the rooftop terrace provide more spaces for interacting and sharing stories of your adventures in Buenos Aires. Towels and sheets are provided for guests, but of all the hostels, this seems to have the fewest bathrooms for the number of guests. Internet is available on site. Facilities: Self-service drink station; concierge; TV room; free Internet; shared kitchen Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
