The staff is amazingly friendly and are glad to speak to you in English or Spanish. They gave me recommendations for everything I wanted to do. I took advantage of a free Tango lesson, which was a lot of fun, and they organize other things including a free Spanish class. There's information in the lobby updated daily with things to... More

After staying at 2 other hostels in BA, it was a blessing to find Ostinatto and it's staff. They all went out of their way to make sure you enjoyed your stay and the wonderful city. Breakfast was plentiful, the cleaners came through the rooms daily and bathrooms and kitchen were tended to regularly. Ben, Vicky and Juli are legends... More

Stayed here for 3 nights as a starting point for a 6 month trip. Firstly the staff were very friendly and helpful, secondly the architecture of the building was fantastic.The location of this place is also great, close to great restaurants. Only downfall to the interior architecture is that the noise easily echoes and bounces up the hollow center. We... More

There are loads of great things about this hostel but a couple or irritations, which if they bother you, mean you'd probably get better for your money around the corner. It is amazing old building and the staff are all wonderfully friendly and helpful. I stayed three times across Jan 2012, and kept going back primarily because of the free... More

If you seek a clean, organized and quiet place, close to touristic attractions and good food, Ostinatto is a perfect place. The hostesses are very friendly and helpful.

This was the first hostel we visted in our 3 months South America trip, and we were very impressed. We lived in a 8 people dorm, but it was seperated by a wall and just a small entrance so it felt more like a 4 people dorm. The price was 70 pesos, but because we stayed for five night, we... More

It looks new and it has a sprecial atmosphere. We appreciated our stay. The location is perfect. It is clean, they have a well-equipped kitchen and friendly staff. Free internet. May be too hot in some rooms (no windows). Can be noisy at times. The owner assured us that the party being held was a one-time-only event.

We loved it here! The thing that really stands out for me is the atmosphere. Everyone here from the cleaners to the people on reception to those who give the classes here (which are free by the way), are all really friendly. They are really helpful and gave us great tips about whats good to do locally. There are a... More
