Sandanzas has great staff who are really friendly and helpful. Make sure you ask them for recommendations on what's on! The rooms are quite spacious by hostel standards. Bicycles can be rented for free, which is awesome. The location in San Telmo is great, make sure to check out the weekend fair if you can. A great base to meet... More

the breakfast is good, you get croissants, bread, fresh orangejuice and coffee. staff is really nice (altough they charged us way to much for our laundry - so do it somewhere else!) and helpfull. The area is okay. A little bit too far from all the sights. BUT: It is sooooo noisy. You hear everthing. Even the staff is talking... More

I made the booking on a recommendation and on internet reviews. I arrived early and was allowed to check in before 11. As I waited for the room to be cleaned I sat in a cool and comfortable lounge area and logged onto the free Wi-Fi. All of the staff members were very kind and helpful and there are not... More

I loved this place right off the bat. Its not the newest, the most modern or the prettiest hostel around but it has a magic that I am unable to define. The staff here (Ire, Tomas, Veronica, Vera, Sebastian, Silvia and Mariana) are superb at making you feel at home, giving recommendations of places to go and things to do,... More

My partner and I booked a couple of nights here through an online booking site due to decent reviews and we were not disappointed! We had booked into a dorm but as it was low season they gave us a private room for the same price because they wanted us "to be as happy as possible". staff were very friendly... More

this place is great: the staff is very helpful in anything, the quality of the rooms is very good too, the cleanness too. The only minus is the breakfast, the only healthy thing is the fruit, take away the fat croissants and bread and put more sugar free marmalade in stead of horrible sweet dulce de leche, margarine in stead...

Sandanzas is a great place with great staff. The location is good if you like to stay in San Telmo. The breakfast is wonderful with fruits, different kinds of bread and cereals. The only negative thing is that the rooms downstairs are quite noisy, especially when people are talking in the reception area.

This is a wonderfully friendly small hostel - great vibe and lovely people! Reasonably clean (it is a hostel, not a five star hotel!), decent beds and nice breakfast of pastries and fruit. Staff are incredibly helpful and there's always plenty going on - definitely recommended for those who want to explore BA with some great new friends!

It's a shame that the last reviewer thought this was "crappy". I have stayed at two other hostels in B.A. and the Sandanzas combines the friendliness of one with the comfort of the other; it might not be up to the standard of a top-flight B & B but as a hostel it's hard to fault it. The staff are... More

This was our first ever stay at a "Hostel" and we were probably expecting B&B quality. Maybe that contributed to our dissapointment. However the rooms and general decoration look like it was last updated in 1978 and it was last spring cleaned in 1993. As per the title: the staff are all lovely people, you get free tango lessons, free... More
