Circus Hostel

Pretty much everything. Most staff were accommodating and provided us with detailed information including bus numbers or subway instructions for travelling around the city. We felt very safe in the area of San Telmo and within Circus Hostel.

Staff at the desk when we first arrived (later in the evening) could have been a little more forthcoming in letting us know what was available. It wasn't until the next day that someone just happened to mention the full kitchen on the 5th floor. The kitchen could use more dishes (especially bowls and smaller plates). When we arrived, the room was really hot and the ac was unplugged because it wasn't working. My husband finally got a box of remotes (after an employee tried really hard to get the ac unit working) and was able to start the unit so it would run beyond a minute. He also fixed a problem with the louvers.

Great, central location close to shops, bars and restaurants. The room was basic but clean. The staff were very helpful with 24 hour assistance. The shared kitchen is on the 5th floor with outside seating. Didn't have the breakfast but if wanted it was only USD4. There was a hairdryer available at reception. Lots of different age groups. I would say very good value for money as got a special rate on booking.com.

Would have liked a television in the room but there was a TV in the shared lounge area so probably helps keep the cost down.

Don’t expect luxury. It’s an old hostel. It has what is needed for your stay. Rooms are small, they do not have a TV. In the other hand, it’s very well situated, closed to restaurants, cafes, Sundays fair, San Telmo’s mercado with plenty of little coffee shops and places to eat and shop. The staff was friendly and courteous. The pool an the TV room we’re fun to be to have coffee/tea or a glass of wine in the evening.

Needs sone remodeling of the rooms and better furniture at the TV room.

Great location in san Telmo. Comfortable and clean. A good base to leave your stuff and explore but not to spend time in the hostel.

Kitchen is poorly stocked with essentials. Like a good pan, fork, knife. The basics. Wifi was in and out. Power was off a couple times which was likely out of their control but they didn’t seem to care if you had to find your way in the dark. Staff rarely even say Hola when you walk in. They just stare at their phone.

The kitchen was great, also a nice Rooftop

Absolutely nothing is happening at this hostel. At least in the season I was staying. Such a great house withe a nice pool and common areas but it was pretty boring. And I'm not the one laying in bed all day, hoping, that something would happen eventually.

the property had excellent facilities. the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean with optimal showers. the beds were amazing and great to sleep in. the staff were lovely and it felt very safe.

nothing

Since I traveled in wintertime, warmth in the room was very important and I was absolutely satisfied with this in Circus hostel

The walls in the hostel are apparently very thin, so all the noises from the other rooms were audible

All fine. Elevator, electronic doors, free breakfast, pool, 24h reception, wifi, baggage deposit, shared kitchen and big shared balcony. Outside the hotel there are a lot of shops, tourist attractions, markets, restaurants.

Little options for breakfast. They charged my card without warning. An advance notice via email, or a simple receipt after payment, would have been welcome.

Nice and comfortable double private room. The pool was a real asset during super hot temperaturs. Service was great, friendly and flexible. Saftey precautions are very good. The location is great, a foot step away form everything in San Telmo.

Kitchen utensils are poor.

receptionists (all of them) are kind and professional. free tea. clean and well organized hostel at bohemian neighborhood, close to metro/busses and to San Telmo famous market.

dorm rooms are small. especially the 6 beds room. 4 beds dorm is a better choice here. not a tragedy but maybe another setting would be more comfortable. still it's a 10 hostel. some guests complain for lack of hostel vibe, for me it was ok: clean relaxed and not too loud. European vibe.
