El balcón internacional hostel

From the experience I had previously in Argentina, the place is nice and friendly and very clean. The host we had is a weird grand man that look pretty bused. Breakfast included but still a few to eat. Overall it is fair for the price so I can recommend for cheap stay in group.

Fair enougth

We met a tourguide at the bus station who recommended this hostel as a cheap option. He provided a transfer service to the hostel and it was only going to be a couple of nights so we went for it. 
We agreed on 400pesos per night for a double with ensuite so good value. We then saw the receptionist cross out the price of 350 on her form for our room number and change it up to 400 which was a bit odd but we figured it was still cheap and we just wanted to get to sleep. 
The bed was comfy and there were plenty of blankets and a heater for the cold room which was handy. 
The main problem is the loud music that is played by the hostel onto the street. Unfortunately the large speaker is located on the balcony which was right next to our room. It finally was turned off at about 1am which was pretty late seeing as the staff were aware we had planned a morning tour with their friend the tourguide who had recommended them. The people who run the hostel seemed to think that blaring music = party hostel but it didn't even have a good social vibe. 
Unfortunately everywhere else that didn't have worse reviews was fully booked or we would have moved. 
The second night luckily the music was turned off at 12.30am instead but sadly the third night was also after 1am. 
The staff were rarely around but we had a key to the front door at least. 
Breakfast the first day was nice and there was enough jam etc. The second morning there were only halves of bread that others had put back, and pots of jam and dulce de leche were completely empty. The third day we didn't even bother. 

Great if you don't plan on sleeping

The staff is not friendly. They never smile. They locked the door during the day so we couldnt get in. We ended up asking a neighbour to call them. After half an hour she came and just asked how long we have been waiting, no 'sorry' at all. 
The room was oke, the communal area freezing cold and the kitchen has barely any equipment.

Not recommanded

The hostel seemed quite nice with nice terrace and balcony. But the owners lied to us that there is breakfast included, but it's not. As we confronted them, both ladies didn't wanted to be responsible... weird staff... in the end we found out that there is some really old bread since several days in the kitchen that we could eat for breakfast! I mean it's ok if there is no breakfast included, at least be honest to your guests...
We asked them to get a lower price, but we already payed for two nights so they just told us that the other lady made a mistake blablabla... didn't get any cash back.
Not recommendable because of the staff!

Not to recommend...

I went there for one night and the owner said the breakfast was include... Finally in the morning there was no breakfast. Nice... And she often closes the entrance door, at day. When you ask something she doesn't even give a look at you... And the hostel is just okay.
