Nice hostel
The staff at the hostel were very friendly and helpful. The room was nicely heated in a very cold week. Of course, my stars are based on expectations vs. reality. A very good hostel for the price I've paid.

Bedbugs, dirty bathrooms...
Hotel had a good friendly atmosphere, but wifi was poor quality, the downstairs bathroom reeked of urine, kitchen was very small and crowded, and I was absolutely covered in bedbug bites by the time I left. The people there are very friendly, but I would recommend spending a few extra dollars to stay elsewhere.

Great staff, homey, but rustic for sure
I was treated like gold by the staff, and was made to feel very much at home. The place and neighborhood are rundown, but basically clean, and the water was hot. For what you pay, you couldnt expect more. Made my two week stay in Buenos Aires easy.

Terrible!!!!Awful!!!
La atención fue malísima. No había recepcionistas ni para abrir la puerta ni cuando se necesitaba. No tenía mapas que algo muy necesario incluso cuando tengas toda la tecnología. El desayuno estaba incluido. Pero lo tenias que ir a tomar en la esquina, en una cafetería al parecer en la esquina del hotel; osea la cafeteria no sabían nada, es más creo que nunca abrieron. Por lo tanto no tome el desayuno.

Adoeci pelo mofo
Tinha feito reserva para 4 noites, porém, na primeira noite já foi o suficiente para e quem estava comigo adoecer devido à quantidade de mofo que há nos quartos. Estou fazendo uso de medicações até o momento, sendo que já fazem seis dias que passei por lá. Não teve condições de ficar mais que uma noite nesse hostel. Tenho os horários de chegada e saída gravados.

Ida a Buenos Aires. Orientación Educacional.
Fuimos con un grupo de colegas de Arica - Chile a un Congreso LatinoAmericano de Orientación Educacional como invitados por la organización RELAPRO por tres días. Busqué un hostel para mi y mis colegas dentro de las cercanías de la Universidad de la Marina Mercante donde era la reunión. Llegamos al hostel "Vi Luz y Entré" donde no me arrepiento para nada y volvería a llegar al mismo lugar.

Horrible
No merece la pena, desayunos lamentables, apenas un café o te pan y mermelada, aseos súper sucios, higiene 0, al igual que el resto del hostel, habitaciones sucias, poco iluminadas, y desordenadas. Se salva el personal que son muy amables. Pero yo no voy a volver

A good experience
A very nice hostel and a rather friendly staff. I enjoyed my short stay, the only negative point was that my room had no window, so it felt a bit like breathing "old" air. But on the other side, being far from the steet, the room was really quiet.

Mala estancia y mal servicio (excepto Noelia), el hostel estaba sucio (como ejemplo sirva el atico lleno de excrementos caninos sin recoger por una semana), el desayuno pesimo, y el water no funcionaba. Precio muy elevado (en el caso de una habitacion doble para lo que ofrece). Camas incomodas, habitacion sin ventana, extrema humedad. Parecen vivir de las rentas de un pasado mejor.

괜찮은 호스텔
부엌은 좀 좁은 편이고 식기구가 생각외로 많이 없습니다. 화장실은 괜찮고 더운 물도 잘 나오는데 변기물이 안나올 때가 있고요. 침대 안락하고 깨끗합니다. 다만 8인실 도미토리는 바닥이 심히 삐그덕거려서 밤에 들어오기 심히 눈치보입니다. 냉방시설이 달랑 선풍기밖에 없는데 밤에 강으로 틀면 시끄럽고 안틀면 덥습니다. 전반적으로 양호합니다.

Cerca..
El hostal de acuerdo al precio se encuentra bien, muy cerca del centro histórico de Buenos Aires, el problema que tuve fue que no hubo agua algunos días por lo que el baño no se encontraba muy limpio. El personal fue muy bueno excepto por una tipa que si el algo pesada.
