“I recently stayed at Milhouse Hostel Hipo for a week during my solo trip. The cleanliness was impressive, especially for a party hostel. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, always willing to assist with anything I needed. The location was perfect, within walking distance to major sites and popular neighborhoods like San Telmo and Recoleta. I loved the convenience of having a tab for all expenses, including drinks, food, and tours. The parties were a lot of fun, and even though they were happening downstairs, the noise level was never too disruptive. The breakfast, although not included, was tasty, and most of the staff spoke good English. A great place for solo travelers looking to meet people and have a memorable experience.”
