Map & live prices by our partner
The densest cluster of hostels sits in San Telmo and Palermo, with Recoleta close behind. In San Telmo, Circus Hostel and Puerto Limon Hostel keep you near the market and cobblestone streets; Palermo options like Milhouse Avenue and Play Hostel Arcos put you amid the bars and boutiques. A dorm bed in these areas typically starts around 16,376 to 23,819 Argentine pesos, while a private room in a more polished spot like Art Factory Soho can run closer to 37,217 pesos.
Our lowest-priced listings are in San Telmo and central areas, where dorm beds start around 16,376 Argentine pesos. Palermo options like Play Hostel Arcos are also budget-friendly, though exact prices vary.
For your first visit, San Telmo offers a historic, walkable base close to the Obelisco and Casa Rosada, while Palermo is the go-to for nightlife and dining. Recoleta is a quieter alternative with leafy streets and the famous cemetery, all within a short bus or subway ride.
From Ezeiza (EZE), take the Tienda León shuttle or a taxi into San Telmo, Palermo, or Recoleta. The trip takes 30–45 minutes depending on traffic; cheaper public options involve a bus to Plaza Constitución, then the subway.
Most hostels in San Telmo, Palermo, and Recoleta are in safe, busy areas, and properties like America Del Sur and Che Juan have round-the-clock staff. Stick to well-lit main streets when walking after dark, and consider a taxi for longer trips.
Buenos Aires is a city that runs on late nights and long conversations, and its hostels are built for both. They cluster in the neighborhoods that matter most to travelers: San Telmo, with its cobblestones and Sunday market; Palermo, where the bars and boutiques spill onto the sidewalks; and Recoleta, which is quieter but still a short hop from the action. Many are set in converted mansions, with courtyards, rooftop terraces, and shared kitchens that turn strangers into plan partners.
On this page you'll find a mix of social party hostels, boutique stays in renovated 1920s buildings, and no-frills budget beds. Prices start around 16,376 Argentine pesos for a bed in a shared dorm, and you can expect to pay more for private rooms or a spot in a trendier district. Sights like the Obelisco, Palacio Barolo, and the Caminito are within walking distance of many properties, and a few are steps from the subway, making it easy to explore on the cheap.
This set of hostels suits travelers who want a social, wallet-friendly base in the city's most iconic neighborhoods—whether that means a party vibe in Palermo, a boutique courtyard in San Telmo, or a quiet garden in Recoleta.
