Buenos Aires Hostels
The third largest city in South
America, Buenos Aires is a romantic mix of European architecture, cobbled
streets and old-world cafes. Upscale neighborhoods such as the Recoleta
ooze chic restaurants and expensive boutiques, but Buenos Aires also makes
a great budget break.
Food and drink are relatively
cheap, and there are several museums and galleries that are excellent
value for money. It’s easy to find a Buenos Aires Hostel in neighborhoods
close to the city’s best nightlife with bars and clubs pulsing to Salsa
and Tango beats.
For a stylish city break,
choose a
boutique
Hostel in Buenos Aires, and enjoy one of South America’s most cultured
cities.

The Gardenhouse
Art Factory
In the heart of San Telmo,
the most bohemian neighborhood in Buenos Aires, this huge old
mansion house has been converted into an edgy artistic hostel, with
rooms decorated by local street artists, graphic designers and
illustrators.
The hostel hosts exhibitions in the common room, and organizes a
whole range of cultural activities for the guests, from tango
lessons to ‘secret tours’ through the local neighborhood.
For something a little less educational, the owners throw great
parties and BBQs on the outdoor terrace, and offer free tickets to
some of the best clubs in town. The free coffee, tea and breakfast
are a great way to avoid a hangover!
