Giramondo Hostel

  • Price range: ¢-$
  • Location: Palermo

Fodor's Review:

The funky Giramondo has all that a hostel needs: plenty of beds and bathrooms, a kitchen, a TV and computer lounge, and a patio, where backpackers from around the world grill up slabs of Argentine beef. The dark, dank underground bar serves up cheap drinks; it also has a small wine cellar. Giramondo is two blocks from buses and the subte on Avenida Santa Fe -- an ideal locale for taking part in Palermo's pulsing nightlife while also being close to downtown.

  • In-room: no a/c, no phone, kitchen, no TV, Internet.
  • In-hotel: bar, laundry facilities.
  • Credit Cards: No credit cards
  • Metro: D to Palermo
