After a month of staying in quite few hostels, it was a bonus that we came across the best on our last 2 nights in South America. We had a 2 bedroom up on the 4th floor, high ceilings and plenty of room. This old building certainly had something special about it, with a grand old lift which had those... more

We stayed here for six nights and were very happy with the place. We had a double room with ensuite, a little balcony, cable tv etc. The room was great. The staff in this place were all very helpful and friendly and all had perfect English. We booked a couple of trips through the hostel and all went well. The... more

We loved it at Portal del Sur. We had room 401, a double with private bathroom. It was lovely with large window overlooking the street (which of course did contribute to road noise of a night if window was open) We slept with window closed. Room was tastefully decorated, TV, reading lights, very cosy. The shower was small and water... more

What I liked the best about Portal del Sur were: 1. Location: very close to 2 subway (Subte) lines, and walking distance to others. Also, lots of people about at night in this area, so felt okay walking back after dark. 2. General atmosphere: you could be as social as you wanted, or as un-social as you wanted, and it... more

My daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights in April. We loved the hostel. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The rooftop bar was a great place to meet people over drinks or breakfast. Free internet was good too. Our twin room with private bathroom was more than adequate for our needs but it did overlook a... more

We stayed at Portal del Sur for 3 nights in a matrimonial room with private bath before moving on to the Patagonia portion of our trip. PROS: --fantastic location... tons of neat places to walk to. if not, taxis were incredibly cheap. --heavy on the carbs (all cereals and breads) but having a breakfast option was great. eating it outdoors... more

Although we wery not particularly impressed by the city BA, this hostel was great. We had a private double room which was nicely decorated and absolutely worth the money. The roof terrace is nice and a good place for meeting other people. Breakfast is simple but ok. Staff is friendly. Hostel is located close to Plaze de Mayo. more
