Che Lagarto Hostel, Buenos Aires

The Che Lagarto chain is spreading across South America and now features properties in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Peru.

Che Lagarto Buenos Aires is well located for easy access to the major tourist sites via public transport or on foot. The immediate neighborhood is friendly and fairly safe, and the hostel offers plenty of activities, such as free walking tours, to help you get to know the city.

Inside, the large common area invites guests to get to know each other playing ping pong or drinking a cold Quilmes in the green courtyard. A major bonus for those on a budget is the buffet breakfast included in the price of your room, and the shared kitchen which is open for guests to cook their own food. A private room costs $26, while a bunk in the basic dorm costs $11, making the hostel competitively priced.

Helpful staff really adds to the hostel experience and go out of their way to improve your stay, and create a friendly atmosphere. Che Lagarto has a reputation for hosting fun travelers, but those who are looking for a 24-hour party experience would be better off checking into Milhouse.

If you would rather go to a party but still have a clean, secure place to sleep and relax, Che Lagarto comes highly recommended.
