I stayed at Hostel Empedrado 2 weeks ago for a few days and can honestly say that this is the best hostel I've ever stayed in - and I've been backpacking all over the world. What really makes a hostel is the staff and I was so taken back by how accommodating and helpful they were. To give you more... More

I'm sad not to give this place a good review, as the staff were kind and the atmosphere was good - imagine if you're a total budget backpacker and don't care about comfort etc, you'd have a great time here - there are good communal areas and lots of group activities (many free or cheap) to join in. However... the... More

The staff was wonderful and bent over backward to help guests book tours, use the facilities, etc. They helped me book a spot on the Alta Montaña tour of the Andes, which was one of the highlights of my Argentina vacation. The atmosphere was tranquil, with none of the "party hostel" noise. I met several guests who had moved from... More

We had a wonderful stay at Hostel Empedrado. The staff are super helpful and interested in the guests. The hostel has fantastic facilties with a new, large kitchen for use by guests. The outdoor area, pool and roof top terrace is perfect for chilled out socialising and meeting others at the hostel. A ladder is available to pick your own... More

Shame we found this place the day after we had arrived. We had problems with the border crossing (Copa America) and arrived late, ending up in the Damajuana Hostel. We'd read some bad reviews of the place and it was heaving so we thought best to look elsewhere after our nights stay. Empedrado was a bit out of town but... More

Had the best stay here. Breakfast's were amazing with our host cooking crepes for those who wanted them, a basket of eggs for you to cook however you like, and plenty of pastries and bread. The kitchen was well stocked, large and clean. They have 2 washing machines so you can do your own laundry there as well. Communal areas... More

Hostel is good, friendly and helpful staff, good kitchen and washing machine! Lots of communal areas and very good for socialising. Also offer plenty of events and help with trips. My room was very noisy though as it was next to the courtyard and the other side was the corridor to the kitchen, both very popular communal areas! Nobody seemed... More

Excellent hostal in Mendoza, close to the center, with all services around and friendly and helpful staff. A big kitchen, with all you need to cook, a nice patio and a great terrasse. Dorms are simple and small, sometimes noisy because of the cars in the street, with lots of shared bathrooms, some just like home. The whole place is... More
