La Menesunda Hostel Reviews - Buenos Aires

For less than $10 US a night you get a comfy bed in a dorm, free breakfast, great shared bathrooms, internet and a lot of movies to watch. The only downside is that to get to the downtown area you have to take the Subte, but the nearest stop is only 5 blocks from the hostel. The area surrounding the hostel is a bit sketchy once you leave the main drag, but on Boedo there are tons of moderately priced restaurants and stores. One piece of advice - watch your stuff. There was a photojournalist staying there while we were and he got his camera stolen out of his locked room and locker. The only people who should be able to get in are staff, guests, and cleaning, which means someone in the hostel stole it. I would definitely suggest putting anything very important (passports) into the hostel safe box.
