It was nice and quiet. I had plenty of sleep. I wonder where is your room. All the roommates that came into my room were very considerate and quiet. I was there for a week. It was nice and quiet.

I didn't experience the partying or noise. I suppose it can happen in any hostel it just depends on who is staying at the time. Generally everyone was getting up early to go on some trip the next day. It is a good place to meet people to share trips in the area. I would recommend this place to a friend, most definitely.

It's a nice hostel but sleep wasn't possible with the late night party that happened every night. Normally I'd just stay up and play along but taking tours out to see the sights requires getting up early. The curious thing I found with both the staff and Argentine visitors is that they enjoyed making noise into the wee hours to keep everyone awake. Sort of like babies that cry for attention. With better management, it could be a good hostel. Not that it matters since the place is usually full anyway. It's famous for the late night parties I guess and I (along with a dozen other people) didn't realize that before checking in. I stayed at the El Gualicho hostel as well and had a similar experience.
