+ 여자 직원들은 정말 친절하다

- 초리빵 파티가 있는날이었다(유료) 파티중에 초리빵 조리하는 남자직원이있었는데 본인 영국인 친구한테 이거 정말 잘만든거야 라며 5번은 준거같다. 덕분에 나 포함 4~5명은 2시간동안 기다렸고 가까이 가서 조리하는걸 옆에서 지켜본 뒤에야 식사를 얻을수 있었다. 정말 불쾌한 경험. 숙소위치도 밤마다 클럽에서 나는 소음때문에 잠들기 힘들다. 모기도 많다.

+ Boa localização e voluntários simpáticos

- Durante a nossa estadia, passamos por uma série de situações que demonstram um grande descaso por parte do hostel. Entre os dias 18 e 21/10, reservamos um quarto individual com banheiro privativo, mas não pudemos utilizá-lo adequadamente, pois não havia água. Conseguimos tomar banho quente apenas em um dos dias, mesmo tendo pago um valor adicional por um conforto que não foi oferecido. Além disso, até mesmo nos banheiros coletivos a água quente era escassa. Quando retornamos ao hostel para a nova reserva, entre 25 e 26/10, a situação foi ainda mais grave: não havia energia elétrica nem água, e no final do dia recebemos uma mensagem informando que não havia previsão para o restabelecimento dos serviços. Nessas condições, o local não apresentava as mínimas condições de habitabilidade ou segurança, já que as trancas da porta principal eram eletrônicas e não funcionavam. Mesmo assim, o hostel pretendia cobrar pela hospedagem de quem optasse por permanecer. Nenhum tipo de suporte foi oferecido além da possibilidade de cancelamento gratuito, o que é totalmente insuficiente, especialmente considerando que o problema foi comunicado já durante a noite, quando não havia alternativas imediatas de hospedagem. Trata-se de uma falha grave no serviço de hospitalidade, marcada pela falta de um plano de emergência e pela ausência de medidas mínimas de cuidado com os hóspedes, como a existência de um gerador. Diante disso, tive que sair à noite em busca de outro lugar para dormir. O hostel alegou que se tratava de um problema geral do bairro, mas isso não condiz com a realidade: os estabelecimentos vizinhos estavam com energia elétrica e água quente, assim como o hostel onde consegui me hospedar poucas quadras adiante.

+ None

- This place is the worst one in the world. It has no hot water no towel no soap no shampoo Wi-Fi will be turned off at 12 o’clock Air conditioning cannot be turned on before 10 o’clock at night They will charge you 15% if you’re using credit card in front of this Hostel, someone trying to snatch my cell phone in a five minute time frame. The location is very bad high crime. No, running hot water at all Showering facility is extremely bad Bathroom with a broken toilet seat I cannot see one thing good about this one I don’t understand why display someone rated 10 It must be hide guns. I would not keep a one reading for this one let a lone 10

+ Teras kat çok küçük millet sıkışmış bir halde sosyalleşmeye çalışıyor hemen hemen her gün bir sosyal faaliyet var

- Tuvaletler çok pis kapı kilidi bile yok temizlik zaten yok banyo pis o da temizlenmiyor odaları pislik götürüyor yatağımın temiz nevresim ile hazırlandığından bile şüpheliyim Ayrıca resepsiyondakiler özellikle check in saatime 15 dk kalmasına rağmen izin vermediler öyle bekletildim saçma

I had such an amazing time at Parla! Staff and volunteers were lovely, location was amazing and there was never a dull moment! It is definitely more of a lively, outgoing hostel so if you’re looking to relax, it probably isn’t for you as there is always something happening if you start speaking to the right person! The building itself was beautiful and antique, with an amazing terrace bar. I had an amazing at Parla, met so many lovely people and will be back in the future :))

Best hostel in Buenos Aires! The staff and volunteers are super friendly and create a very social atmosphere. The terrace bar is the best part of the hostel to socialise at night and meet other people. Also the perfect location in central Buenos Aires with great public transport to explore different parts of the city.

Fantastic hostel in the best part of Buenos Aires. Near to all of the key tourist attractions, and several metro stations to get to those which are a bit further away. Really welcoming staff, especially Eve and Cielo on the reception, and a friendly group of volunteers who are always keen to include you in their plans in the city. Love the bar and view. Would recommend, 10/10.

The only good thing were the volunteers. Very kind and helpful. After that, I need to say my staying there was not comfortable at all, the only bathroom for men had two working showers of three, it looked like a prison bath tbf and was ALWAYS dirty and water was everywhere. the toilets were awful dirty and I needed to go to a cafe otherwise I couldn't go properly in there. The beds were mad cheap and if you or the below moved it felt like a boat. Everything was awful dirty in the kitchen anytime

Meh Came for atmosphere, but seemed as the long term volunteers had a group it was hard to socialize etc. Can see it being solid maybe if more people are being there but such a large amount of volunteers made it a clicky group tough to socialize. Other then that amentaties were ok, stayed at viajero when I came back to BA and vibe was 10x better imo.

Pros: Great location One of the cheapest hostels in Buenos Aires The girls working at reception are very friendly and helpful Cons: There are around 10 long-term foreign volunteers who have been staying for months and mostly socialize among themselves. I chose this hostel because of its high atmosphere score on Hostelworld, but as a newcomer to the city, this made it quite difficult to meet people and connect with others, which negatively affected the overall vibe. A lot of mosquitoes

Beautiful building with great potential, enjoyed our stay here but vibes can be a bit weird, staff were friendly but more focused on their own hanging out than the hostel itself. Don’t stay here if you don’t want to wake up with many mosquito bites

The rooftop balcony was the highlight, and the rooms are cozy yet spacious. Overall, not my favorite. The staff were nice but the vibe felt cliquey. It’s very party-oriented and got SUPER loud in the mornings. A bit too big to easily meet people. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it though others seem to enjoy it.
