Hostel Carlos Gardel Review

If you can't get enough of Gardel in tango clubs, stay here, where a red wall plastered with his photos is the first thing to greet you. This hostel is built into a renovated house, and though it was severely gutted, a few marble staircases, wall sconces, and stained-glass windows remain. Two rooms with private bathrooms (but few other amenities) are available, reasonably priced at $40, and a nearby apartment is available beginning at $43 per day. The staff is friendly, and there's a large TV room where you can chat with them and other patrons. A shared kitchen and an asado on the rooftop terrace provide more spaces for socializing.

Facilities:
Concierge; self-service drink station; free high-speed Internet; shared kitchen; TV room

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
