Reviews and Ratings
I had such a great time staying at Circus Hostel! The location is super convenient, just a short walk from the subte and Plaza de Mayo. My room was clean and comfy, plus I really appreciated the warm swimming pool after long days of exploring the city. On the downside, the curtain in my room could use some repairs and the toiletries were pretty basic, but overall, it was definitely worth what I paid and I can’t wait to come back again.
I had a wonderful experience at this hostel, especially as it was my first solo trip to South America. The location is perfect, nestled in the charming San Telmo neighborhood and close to the metro station. The atmosphere was lively, making it easy to meet fellow travelers. Although there were some staff members who seemed unfriendly, most of the team was helpful, and the amenities, like the pool, were fantastic. I found the dorm and private rooms to be clean and secure, but I did notice that noise could travel from the corridors.
I had a wonderful time at Circus Hostel & Hotel. The location is perfect for exploring Buenos Aires, especially with the Sunday markets nearby. My room was tidy and comfortable, plus the staff went out of their way to help with recommendations and arrangements. However, the shower took a while to get hot, and the toiletries were a bit basic. Overall, it’s great value for money and I’d definitely stay here again.
I had a wonderful time staying at this hotel which is conveniently located near barrio San Telmo. The friendly reception staff went above and beyond to assist me with taxis. My only concern was that the atmosphere sometimes felt more like a hotel than a traditional hostel, which caught me off guard since I was expecting a younger crowd. Overall, I loved my experience here but keeping expectations in check about the hostel vibe is important.
This hostel was a great first stop on my five-month trip. I loved the modern feel of the place, and the staff were incredibly helpful with directions and recommendations. The rooms were clean, and I appreciated the good security. However, the lack of a kitchen was a bit inconvenient for budgeting, and the pool was out of order during my stay. I would definitely come back, especially if the pool is fixed next time.
I had a fantastic stay at Circus, which really stood out for its cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere. The location is amazing, with easy access to San Telmo and the rest of Buenos Aires. While I loved the amenities like the pool and activities offered, the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely stay here again.
I had a pleasant stay overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the communal areas had a great vibe. However, noise from the pool area could be bothersome, and service had its ups and downs. The breakfast was definitely a highlight, providing good value for the price.
I had a wonderful stay at this hostel, which boasted a lovely pool right in the city center. The location was fantastic with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby, making it an excellent value for money. The rooms were clean, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, especially when we needed to print tickets. However, the internet connection could use some improvement as it was spotty at times.
I had a great stay at this hostel! The location was perfect for exploring San Telmo and nearby attractions. The room was clean and cozy, although it felt a bit cramped for four beds. The staff was helpful, and I enjoyed the comfortable common area. On the downside, the bathroom was small, and the breakfast wasn't available. Overall, I'd definitely consider returning on my next trip.
