Best Hostels in Buenos Aires
Guide: Courtyard Houses, Social Pools & Central Bunks
Buenos Aires hostels divide between large social properties, intimate old houses, and practical central bases. Party schedules, reception coverage, room position, and the distance between San Telmo history and Palermo nightlife should drive the booking more than a small rating difference.
