Woke up with bug bites, room was very hot during the night. Staff were nice, location was OK, but I would not recommend to a friend.

El lugar está limpio y ordenado, es amplio. Las duchas con agua caliente son muy buenas. Lo único malo es que me picaron chinches en las camas y la televisión todo el día prendida con volumen fuerte de películas que ven los voluntarios.
Vibe Analysis
mate! works best as a small, apartment-style Córdoba base with a social, lived-in feel. The standout is the shared-food energy: asados, choripán, fernet, music, parties, and even quick birthday or holiday gatherings can turn the place from simple lodging into a house hangout. The staff side is a major part of the stay here. Help with city plans, luggage, forgotten items, late logistics, and even medical trouble gives the hostel a very personal feel. The setup is central, generally clean, and practical, with a kitchen, common areas, lockers in dorms, air conditioning in some rooms, a TV/lounge area, board games, Netflix, and a pool table. The vibe is more cozy flatshare than polished mega-hostel. It can be easy to meet new friends, especially when the house is active, but quieter nights can feel low-key rather than buzzing. Pick it for warmth, price, central Córdoba access, and a bit of scrappy social chaos, not for hotel-smooth facilities.
