Hostel Lao

Lao is our house. For 3 years we have been welcoming travellers to stay with us, enjoy our home and see a more Mendozan side to the city. With just 24 beds to keep things friendly, chilled and clean; Lao is a traveller's oasis in the middle of a great city. A social, lively home, NOT a party hostel! The house is located in a busy corner of the city within 15 minutes walk of everything so it's ideal for getting to know Mendoza on foot. A five minute walk from the hostel passing local deli's, restaurant...(see more)s and a beautiful square with an antique market will get you to the Main Street. Continue on from here to reach plazas España or Independencia and the pedestrian streets. 10 minutes in the other direction and you are in the bus station. Infront of the hostel you will find buses to the wine districts. If you want to get off the Gringo Trail just ask us for directions. Our home is a 70 year old town house that we have renovated to create 2 six bed dorms with a bathroom each and a 4 bed ensuit dorm. All equipped with aircon/heaters, a large locker per person, real mattresses, comfy pillows and duvets for winter. Dorms you can sleep well in. Next we converted the former servant's quarters into 2 cosy doubles sharing a bathroom. Set in the stunning hostel garden surrounded by tropical trees and hammocks, these rooms are ideal for some privacy away from the house. Finally we opened 2 luxury doubles so couples can enjoy the social atmosphere of a hostel with the comforts of boutique hotel rooms. La Cava, a large room with a big iron bed, cable TV, aircon/heating and a fantastic ensuit. Tango, a big room complete with sofa, cable TV, ensuit, aircon/heating and a hand carved bed. Lao also has 2 large stylish lounges, a fully equipped kitchen, dinning room, terrace overlooking our amazing garden, 2 friendly dogs to play with, a plunge pool, great included breakfast of juice, pastries, fruit, fresh bread, homemade jams, coffee and tea and we serve some free wine! Our home is the perfect place from which to enjoy the Mendozan winter. With a real fire, heating throughout, warm duvets and a huge BBQ so you can prepare a great steak under the stars. We also serve afternoon tea from May-September!
