In the heart of the antiques district Hagoth Hostel has air-conditioned rooms with private balconies. Dorrego Square and its picturesque artisans fair is 6 blocks away. WiFi access is free.

Hagoth Hostel has tastefully decorated rooms in earth tones. There are rooms with private and shared bathrooms.

The room and bathroom were clean and well kept. There was filtered, clean water in the kitchen. It's located in a wonderful neighborhood containing all you might need. The greatest strength, however, is the hospitality of the staff. The owner went out of his way to help me at every turn, he helped me find things around the city that I was looking for, he gave me advice on where to go, and he was always happy to see me. You won't find service this good anywhere else.

    Very central to everything. Secure building with security and felt safe. Our host was so lovely and very responsive. We arrived very early into BA and he instructed us to use the hostel directly across the road from the apartment to freshen up and leave our luggage there until we could check in. We were a bit late checking out as we were trying to find a western union to get cash, however he was so understanding and told us to take our time.

    The hostel is clean, quiet and in a nice area. It doesn’t have a „traveler‘s vibe“ though, there weren‘t many people when I was there. Staff is nice, but not super knowledgeable on BA from a tourist’s perspective. So perfect if you want to work or know your way around already. As a solo backpacker I might choose a different hostel.
