Reviews of Hostel Carlos Gardel

We had a very comfortable stay here. Regarding the rooms, we appreciated having lots of shelf space to put our belongings. Wifi worked fine from the rooms too. The shared bathrooms were kept clean throughout. There were four shared bathrooms over two floors, so we never really had to wait to use one. There is also a small shared kitchen. The utensils and equipment in the kitchen have definitely seen better days, but we had no issues preparing simple meals here (you will need to get your own cooking oil and condiments). Decent location near the San Telmo market, with lots of shops and restaurants around. It was easy to walk to the nearest Subte station (Independencia), as well as other nearby places of interest such as Plaza de Mayo and Puerto Madero. The reception hours are from 1-6pm, but we had no issues communicating with the staff via WhatsApp outside of that time. They also kindly allowed us to store our backpacks for a small fee when we left Buenos Aires for a short 3-day trip to the Iguazu Falls.

The shared kitchen only has space for two to sit.

It was a horrible place, a tiny room, hard to breathe. Slept very badly, left in the morning even though was going to stay 4 nights there. Won't stay again.

Very nice and accommodating owner, she let us check-in late, pay in the morning after exchange offices open, and leave our bags for the check-out day. Great location 100m from San Telmo market. Rooms are simple but clean

No sign from the outside, you need to know the address and ring the bell to get in. The building is a bit old which is visible, but the interior decorations are nice. Kitchen and common areas are small and not very useful.

Good location. Clean and comfortable.

It's in my favorite neighborhood, San Telmo, so lots of nice spots are accessible. The room was fairly affordable for a private one, and it's pretty calm and quiet, which really suits my needs. Kitchen was stocked well enough.

Great location in san telmo. AC works, hot water works, towels and bedding comfortable and free bottled water. Kitchen well stocked.

Lovely colonial style property with friendly helpful staff. The place is kept so clean at all times. Plenty of bathrooms which are always clean and hot water. Location is fantastic literally across the street from san telmo market.

We unfortunately had noisy british neighbours for 2 of our 4 nights who would come in drunk very late having arguments which we could hear every word through the wall.

Very comfortable and nice bathrooms

Bit hard to find and not really a hostel

Very good value for money. Excellent location.

WiFi very slow.

This is an economic and basic hostel with shared bathrooms, simple but clean and comfortable. The administrator Maria was very friendly. She also guarded our baggage after checkout time. It is perfectly located in the heart of San Telmo only half a block from the market, lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance, also the Plaza Dorrego. We did not eat breakfast at the hostel because of the many street restaurants nearby.

We were in the perfect location in San Telmo. Close to breakfast spots and 10 minutes from the metro. Maria the host was super communicative and friendly. There was a basic kitchen and filtered water. Our room had doors to the terrace and the entire place was cleaned daily.

As we were on the terrace it was loud during the evenings. Nothing that couldn't be solved with some earplugs. The stay is more dated than the pictures but doesn't take away from all the positives. We would stay again!

Very nice staff and great location

Nice basic hotel, bathrooms are clean.

Great bedrooms, nice balconies and amazing position next to San Telmo famous market.

Only weak point: not a big common area

Clean very good location staff helpful
