Really modern and clean hotel. Great public spaces and the room was a good size for the 4 of us too. Staff were helpful and they had lots of free events as well as organised trips.
I am impressed by how cool it is to stay in this area. The best thing was the easy eBus from Retiro train station right to this hostel door for only $50 (paid on the bus by debit card). The hotel is super cool, guests and staff super cool. There's a big screen to watch the games as a sportsbar BUT they need to improve their kitchen utilities as it is a bit too small for the traffic they absorb also not functional. Fridges are right in the middle where they should be on the side, something like that. Great place to stay as a tourist. For business travellers, maybe a different neighborhood due to travel distances, as Buenos Aires is a gigantic city.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
This hostel has the best staff who are there 24 hours to help answer any questions you may have. The staff are always friendly and happy to help you. They also have many activities to get involved with if you’re looking for a good way to have fun and meet other people. Rooms are clean, well kept and in good condition. Highly recommend!
Staff were nice and friendly - good place to meet others.
however the room was in a bad condition. The bathroom door handle was broken and it was hard to close the main door - very stiff.
Absolutely fantastic for the price. Staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, which was a positive for navigating the city with my, uhh, no bueno Spanish. The room was great, and the whole place was clean and secure.
One thing that isn't necessarily clear - they have several activities like (free!) walking tours and outings Tuesday-Friday, and (not free, but worth it) tickets and transportation to fútbol matches on weekends. It was a great resource to have.
El Hostal América del Sur es una excelente opción para quienes quieren conocer una parte de Buenos Aires sin gastar mucho en transporte; su ubicación en San Telmo les garantiza mucha vida nocturna y buenos restaurantes en el día (más su Feria todos los domingos).
Tiene buenas instalaciones, un staff impecable y opciones de hacer vida social en sus áreas comunes; un recomendado a ojo cerrado.
Limpeza dos quartos e banheiros, arrumação das camas todos os dias. Café da manhã simples, porém estava gostoso as opções servidas. Pouca interação com os outros hóspedes, acredito que seja pela as áreas comuns não ter bar e não promover atividades interações.
Não há ou muito poucos Brasileiros, lá não encontrei nenhum. As informações no grupo tudo inglês, poderia ter em inglês porém as informações serem divulgadas primeiro na língua local espanhol.
Funcionários muito simpáticos e receptivos na recepção, as copeiras e zeladoras.
Vi hade ett privat rum som var rent och snyggt. Städades och bäddades varje dag. Trevlig personal som pratade bra engelska och hade all möjlig service allt från SIM-kort till att boka turer till event i staden. Köket hade vad man behövde och de gemensamma ytorna var rena och fina. Ligger i ett bra område som är lugnt och nära till tunnelbanor och bussar. Finns matbutiker i närheten och resturanger
Excelente!!!!
Ficamos 4 pessoas no quarto privado com banheiro.
Localização muito boa com restaurantes, mercados ao lado...
Atendimento excelente, sempre atencioso, sorridentes e solícitos a todo os pedidos extras...
Ambiente fantástico!!!!
Quarto confortável, tudo funcionando... Só o banho que é um pouco estreito...
el hostal es chico yo me hospede en habitacion privada con baño cama chica para dos personas delgadas o una grande. el ambiente del lugar increible los de recepcion hacen muchas dinamicas tienen grupos de whatts para ayudar todo excelente
El lugar es muy lindo. La atención del personal es excelente, sobre todo Nicole, muy simpática y amable. Detalle para tener en cuenta: el baño no tiene bidet. La cocina de uso común es cómoda. Tiene un lindo playroom y patio. El desayuno (buffet)se paga a parte y es bastante básico. El barrio de noche es un poco oscuro pero se puede andar muy tranquilo. La estación de subte independencia (línea C y E) está a unos 500 metros. Realmente lo recomiendo.
