Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This was a basic hostel located in an old but charming building. The staff was very helpful and the location was very good to stores, restaurants and the subway. It was a clean but very simple room. You had to run the shower for a few minutes before you got hot water. There was no hair dryer available as the listing said. Other than a few loud guests at night, we had a very pleasant stay!

Excellent location. Excellent response to inquiries when booking. Zero response after I’d paid and was inquiring about lost property. I hope there is room to elaborate later in the survey. Pretty much as described. No breakfast available. The building is built on a central atrium which funnels sound and it can be loud if the night staff are socializing late as they were when I stayed. Draws a good clientele.

Horrendous. Spend you money staying somewhere else
We were put in an attic where the window didn’t close properly. Even with heating on it was freezing. The shower was horrendous. We left after one night of the three we booked and stayed somewhere else instead.

Recommend to those on a budget for its location
1. Location: really highly accessible, can walk around very easily 2. Wifi: just so so and sometimes I could even barely check my email 3. In-room facility: believe it or not there are ONLY two power sockets for six people! 4. Staff: really friendly and helpful 5. Price: can't complain much coz it comes with complimentary breakfast 6. Bathroom: it's wet and quite dark

Poor service but great location
We booked a few nights here on the recommendation of a travel guide and then booked a return before leaving again for another part of Argentina. The service is very, very poor and very unwelcoming to the point where, before our return, we very nearly booked to go to another hostel rather than come back to the Portal Del Sur even though we knew we would lose the money. We didn't encounter this type of service anywhere else - it really is unique. It's a great shame because the hostel is really nice inside and the location is perfect for getting all over the city from the metro.

The roof top bar is the best part. Great bar with a patio and a view out over the city. Rooms were okay, TV didnt really work. Good location.
