The pros: knowledgeable, friendly English-speaking staff; a healthy breakfast; rooms have lots of character; close to a small supermarket and metro stops; within walking distance of many attractions; nice terrace; free internet and wi-fi Cons: the noise! Walls are too thin and the fact that this is a party hostel means that you won't sleep; bathrooms on the first floor... more

I can't say enough abut how helpful the staff was, especially Jose, in helping me arrange trips to Iguazu and Colonia. They were always available and speak English and have good humor considering the hectic coming and going of all the guests. Although I didn't participate, they organize fun things to do every day to help you get more involved... more

´The hostel is in a great building and the private rooms with private facilities are in big, great rooms. Those that do not have private facilites are basic and cramped and everything echos so you hear everything so are awoken early in the morning and late at night. The shared bathrooms are dreadful on the first floor, they are tiny... more

I've stayed in three different hostels in Buenos Aires, just to get a feel for other neighborhoods, but Art Factory is the one I came back to, and I kept extending my stay, and extending my stay. One thing you'll learn quickly about BA is that the tourist attractions can be exhausted in less than a week, but the city... more

When I first arrived there I did`'t think it was as big as it turned out to be. The staff treated me as good as it gets and they are always thinking abut the guests' comfort and welfare. it's very well located, near bus stops and subways, apart from that, everything there's to visit in buenos aires is actually very... more

From other reviews, I was expecting somewhere basic, but at least friendly and clean. I was disapppointed. On the up-side, the place is well-located for exploring BA and they are security conscious. However, the room and bathroom were filthy and I found that the staff were (with only one exception) rude and unhelpful. I have no doubt that there are... more

We came to BA after being on a bus for 20 hours and found out that this hostel was a haven! The dorms were full, and they didn´t want to split us up into seperate dorms, so they gave us a nice private room at a very good rate. The hostel had very helpful staff, we met loads of people... more

My Age: 24 The artfactory hostel is appropriately named and definitely felt more like a boutique hostel. Pros: - Awesome San Telmo location, centrally located between Calle Defensa/San Telmo Market, Avenida Mayo, several cheap restaurants and an awesome bakery just a block away. - Breakfast was plentiful. Coffee/juice throughout the day and a pay-as-you-go fridge with cheaper-than-market prices on water/soda/beer.... more
