Argentina“Double room w shared bathroom: it was good, online pics are less attractive than reality. It was an OK room, beds are not 10/10 comfy but lets say 7/10. More energy plugs are needed. AC worked well. Shared bathroom was good. Location is superb.”- George

I had three really good nights of sleep here and it was very budget friendly.” - Adam United Kingdom“I stayed here for 2 weeks - perfect location in Palermo, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, 15 min walk to Plaza Serrano.
