Not the most social (offseason) and the bed I was in had bedbugs, informed staff and checked out they said they were gonna sanitize. Otherwise a beautiful hostel and nice kitchens.

tuve una muy mala experiencia, por que en la cama habían chinches, y me picaron en todo el cuerpo, y no me dejaron dormir. La ubicación es muy buena, el servicio de recepción también. Pero la higiene en general es pésima. Los baños estaban siempre con el piso mojado.

Unfortunately, got attacked by bed bugs in Room 11. I was itchy all night, thinking maybe it was a mosquito as I felt a bump form on my arm (it happens). But later, seeing my back in the mirror, I know for a fact that it was not just a mosquito. I was worried before staying here seeing the relatively recent reviews of bed bugs, which to the hostel's credit, seemed to have been addressed. Unfortunately, it looks like other rooms now have a bed bug problem, including the one I stayed in. Like the other reviews, however, the hostel was otherwise clean and semi-social. Staff was friendly and helpful (couldn't address the bed bug problem with them as the bumps appeared the day in which I checked out). I want to be fair with the review, but for me personally, bed bugs aren't just the temporary irritation of the bites, but the longer-term psychological mess of always wondering if you are now carrying even just one bed bug with you back home. :(

BEDBUG ALERT room 10 It's a great hostel. And location was convenient. Tho it's not in the safest areas in BA but i Had no problems Even coming back late. The only issues i Had were: 1. I was initially allocated a room downstairs i think it was room 10 if i remembered correctly. I was just putting down my stuff but i noticed a bug moving on the bed curtain. I caught it and it turned out to be a bedbug. I was so scared and immediately i took it to the front desk requesting for some solutions. They were apologetic and offered to move me to another room also doing my Laundry in case of infestation. Luckily i Haven't out anything on the bed nor lied on the bed yet so i just moved room. Initially was very worried still that the new room May have it too but luckily it wasn't the case. 2. The mattress was not very Comfy. It was Initially but due to flying 30+hrs to get here, i was super knackered so i slept for 16hrs i suppose. And i wokeup with back pain. I think it's from the mattress. Overall Staff were very nice. Its not a super social hostel but there are areas to hang out. It was December so didn't feel too hot with the windows open. And i think there was ac in my room.

There was an issue with bed bugs in the room during my stay, but the owner handled the situation very professionally and closed the room to fumigate it.

Me comuniqué con el hostel por el tema de las chinches de cama y el dueño, Juan, habló conmigo directamente. Me pidió disculpas, me reembolsó el importe de la noche y también ofreció cubrir los medicamentos que compré por la reacción a las picaduras. Además, me explicó que cerraron la habitación durante varios días para fumigarla y que es una situación que ocurre muy raramente. Valoro mucho la actitud del hostel al hacerse cargo del inconveniente y tratar de solucionarlo. El personal siempre me atendió muy bien. Cambio mi calificación porque, aunque no tuve una buena experiencia después de dormir allí, ellos respondieron de manera responsable y eso es lo que realmente cuenta.

BEDBUGS!!!! CHINCHES !!! I got bedbugs staying for three nights. The absolute worst, I just lived one of my nightmare. HORRIBLE. Please, please to you a favour and stay somewhere else, I’ve also heard other bad stories about this hostel ! I’ve stayed at MONS and it’s 100x better. So on the first night I didn’t see anything on the bed because I do check every time and I didn’t see anything. The second morning I woke up with weird bites on my hand so I went to the reception to show them and they say they were probably only mosquitoes’. So i went on with my day but I then noticed that I had way more than what I just saw when waking up. Latter that day I went back to my bed and checked again, that’s when I found one!!! I saw it with my own eyes a bedbug!!! Took a picture went over to the front desk. They weren’t talking this too seriously. They gave me money so I could buy a cream to reduce the itching. I ask for a refund for the night which they gave me, ask them to wash my clothes but I was too imprudent because you should wash EVERYTHING and I thought clothes were just fine but no because onto the next night I got bitten again! Of course I changed of hostel for the last night I had in Buenos Aires because it was getting very bad. They should have told me to buy a new set of clothes while they were decontaminating the room and washing my clothes, bags, shoes and everything but no. They only changed the sheets. That’s it. Someone could have slept in this bed after me leaving and getting the bedbugs. I was on room 10, only females. Had to wash everything the next day in my new hostel, shoes, bags, clothes, EVERYTHING it costs me 50$ USD. I mean it was worth it because I dont have them anymore but a nightmare that no one wants to live when travelling. DO NOT STAY THERE.

They didn’t let the air conditioner run for longer than 2h at a time so you would wake up sweating. For myself and another staying in a separate room, bed bugs… They did let me change beds, compensate me for caladryl (antihistamine cream) and wash my clothes.” To rectify the issue for me.

We had a bad experience mainly due to two reasons. First, there was a loud karaoke party going on from 11 pm to 3am which made it impossible to sleep (and we just arrived from a 20 hour trip from Barcelona). And secondly, there was bed bugs in our bunk beds which meant we had to change rooms. The hostel is loud at night because the walls are thin. The kitchen is good and the common area too.

This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed and it’s such a shame I have to write this BUT I got bedbugs. They need to take care of this problem professionally as it’s one of the worst things to happen to a traveler. Apart from this, everything about the hostel is just exceptional. If I didn’t have the bedbugs m rating would be 10/10.

The hostel was great but there were bed bugs! Be careful when you go. It was in room 6! They cleaned and putted product against it so it might be gone but check when you leave that you don't have pimple when you leave. They havn't made me a discount even if I had bugs in my room

BEWARE - BED BUGS in room 6! Check the mattresses and bunks before you get into a bed here. There are past Google reviews of similar complaints. When I informed the front desk they seemed not bothered as if this is common for them. I would recommend not to stay here!

The hotel needs to shutdown for at least one day at least and do a complete dissatisfaction to remove bed bugs... I have been beaten badly by them no matter which room I went. The hotel reimbursed me for one night though and seem to be aware of this major problem they have. The staff however are very friendly and are hard working people.

No meu dia de checkout encontrei um percevejo na cama. Comuniquei ao staff e eles foram bastante solicitos e disseram que passariam veneno na cama.

It's a nice hostel in a nice location. Huge building with renovated facilities. BUT i caught bed bugs while I was here which sucks because it was the day before I was supposed to fly home so now there is risk in bringing it home with me. When I told the hostel about it, they didn't really seem to care and just said "it happens a lot". I hope they will actually do the proper cleaning for it, as they didn't seem to concerned to keep it controlled and prevent it from spreading to the other beds. I was in the 12-bed dorms. Be careful and check your sheets before sleeping here.

Les bruits des autres voyageurs le matin ou le soir : vous avez du mal à vous endormir jusqu’à très tard a cause des personnes arrivant très tard et n’étant pas discret, en plus de ça, vous êtes réveillé par ceux qui partent très tôt, non ça a été compliqué… Un peu chère car on vous prélève en dollars (avant votre venu, un peu trop avant d’ailleurs) et non en pesos argentinos. Grosse mésaventure avec la présence de punaises de lits sur mon lit. Ça a été compliqué de leur faire comprendre qu’il fallait me changer de chambre…

Analyse de l'ambiance
Che Juan BA est une base très centrale à Buenos Aires, plus solide côté équipement que mystérieuse: grands dortoirs, lits avec rideau, lampe et prise, casiers, deux cuisines utiles, espaces pour travailler ou se poser, et assez de zones communes pour brancher l'ordi ou glisser dans une conversation. L'emplacement est son vrai champ de gravité: vers Lavalle, Corrientes, Florida et le quadrillage downtown des transports et visites classiques, avec un poste de police tout près et beaucoup de logistique urbaine autour. L'ambiance du quartier est Microcentro pratique, pas coin vert où flâner. Socialement, ça peut très bien prendre. Staff sympa, conseils sur la ville, soirées bar ou jeux, tango ou activités type excursion, et moments d'intégration donnent aux solos de vraies occasions de rencontrer du monde sans imposer un scénario méga-fête. La vibe n'est pas parfaitement stable: certains séjours se sentent chaleureux et faciles; d'autres sont plus calmes, plus locaux, ou peu sociaux pour les anglophones. Les chambres sont l'argument quand tout fonctionne: lits confortables, rideaux, rangements, linge propre, volumes spacieux et look d'ancien bâtiment rénové, avec apparition bonus de l'ascenseur classique. C'est surtout pour qui veut Buenos Aires centre, une scène semi-sociale et une vraie base cuisine/travail, avec une tolérance au bruit du bâtiment, au confort variable des salles de bains et de la température, et à de vrais compromis côté sécurité et paiement.
Signaux à vérifier
- Les punaises de lit ou piqûres d'insectes peuvent être un vrai risque, avec des cas liés à certaines chambres même en 2026. Inspecte le lit avant de t'installer et réagis vite si des piqûres apparaissent.
- Une plainte grave passée concerne la sécurité en dortoir, impliquant un autre client et la réaction du staff. Les voyageurs solos, surtout les femmes, devraient choisir le type de chambre avec soin et signaler tout malaise immédiatement.
- Le sommeil peut être fragile: espaces communs, chambres côté rue, patio/bar, ascenseur et autres clients ont dérangé des chambres jusque tard dans la nuit.
- Le confort des salles de bains et des chambres peut varier: trop peu de salles de bains aux heures chargées, sols mouillés ou douches à entretenir, et soucis de chauffage/clim selon la saison.
- Confirme avant l'arrivée le total exact, la devise, le traitement des taxes/VAT et le moyen de paiement; les frais surprise et disputes de change sont un problème répété.
