83 Rosario Hostel

Friendly staff

Place wasn’t clean, large amounts of flies. Also, there were a couple of cats and a dog in the place and their droppings were on the floor.

I did not realise the hostel did not accept card so we were short on cash but the staff member kindly let us pay the balance off the following day when we were able to go to an ATM. He also helped find us the kitchen utensils needed when cooking.

Really not sure why this hostel is rated so highly. We didn't really find it acceptable and it's worth paying extra to stay elsewhere. The only thing that redeems it a little is that all staff were very friendly. Not all of them spoke good English however they still were very welcoming unfortunately however there was issues they could not help with. Very cold!! Firstly the hostel is mostly outdoors with seating two areas being outside as they are courtyards. This however meant the entire hostel is cold. We had to walk around with coats on, our room was the same as they had no heating as the Aircon only blows cold air the staff could not provide a heater. The room has a large celling and with a small window leading to the corridor that would not close, the staff did not know how to do it as it's so high up fair enough however this meant cold air from the outside would drift in. The shutters outside our door only helped a little if shut. Everything Is Broken The whole place also needs major revamp. Everything is falling apart, literally everything. All the toilet seats are broken and have barely any toilet paper. The locks are broken or stiff and toilet paper holders hanging on the wall and not fixed. The lid on the kettle does not shut properly so dangerous to use. Bugs I noticed bugs crawling around the walls and also in the cutlery drawer which was gross. Also cobwebs everywhere. The cleanliness could definitely be better. Noise The walls are paper thin, our room was next to the toilet so you could hear everything. People doing there business, showering late at night etc. The quiet hours mean nothing I did once hear a staff member tell some guests to be quiet however not till much later. They let guests talk very loud and play loud music until late. It's not the staff's fault that people are inconsiderate but they should be stricter.
