    CAREFUL THEY WILL NOT LET YOU PAY IN PESOS !! After a long discussion I had to pay with Credit card which means I paid double the price for this place. Checked in at 2pm and the Room did not get cleaned at all. The Receptionist was laughing at me and said they never clean the Dorms before 2pm and I just have to wait until someone finds the time to do it.

    Staff were not empathetic when I needed their help. We're not willing to budge at all and basically said they couldn't help me. Disappointing outcome that I won't forget. Rooms were good. Bar staff were pretty good but their not fooling anyone with their watered down cocktails. They were horrible. I'm embarrassed for them. Suggest staying elsewhere. Based on their argumentative response below I'm sure they respond with something criticising me. Look forward to it.

    The staff really make this place. They greet you with your name and are always helpful. Millhouse has a range of activities (some free) and a friendly lively bar which means your trip to Buenos Aries will be sorted no matter your taste. The rooms are clean, large with high ceiling and great showers. You won’t be disappointed :)

    I stayed in Millhouse in February. It is certainly a party hostel with loud music until 2am that you can hear from your room even though staff will say that you can't. There are many groups here too and as a solo traveller I found it hard to chat to other travellers especially as everyone felt so young (average age about 20 I'd say). The facilities here were average at best, the food that the bar downstairs serves is okay and is reasonably priced. I felt that there's no comfortable chill out area, the roof terrace was far too hot. I will say the activity itinerary looked very good and staff were helpful. If you're a solo traveller in your 30s I'd recommend not booking here.

    Staff are cordial at first but can get really unfriendly if not a good spender, the tend to take better care of Europeans much better than S. Americans. I had many items stollen from my room and when I complained they cancelled my stay without warning. I'd avoid at all costs. Would recommend Parla hostel.

    I had a pleasant stay at this hostel, and I'd give it 4 stars. The staff was exceptionally friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. It's a hotspot for young travelers, though the dorms can be a bit crowded with 8 people. On the upside, the bathrooms are spacious and well-maintained. The on-site restaurant offered delicious food at reasonable prices. Evenings were lively, with many people, and the hostel provided a variety of activities to keep guests entertained. Overall, a great choice for socializing and enjoying your stay.

    BE CAREFUL! They do not use the official dolar/ euro to pesos rate! You will charged twice as much compared to other hostels in the area. READ THE FINE PRINT ! CUIDADO NO APLICAN EL CAMBIO OFICIAL, pagaras casi el doble comparado con otros hostels !!

    This was my first solo trip. This was a great hostel overall and a great location. I’ve been to over 60 countries and stayed in many hostels all over and I know they’re all different in their own way. I stayed here for 5 days and overall it was great, they have a bar where you can order food and drinks during the day and night, and they have a rooftop where they do events as well. They staff were great and were very nice. They have events you can sign up for and you can even rent bikes, or sign up for a bike trip where you go to a place to rent but I went on my own. It’s in a pretty good location too I think.the bar is lively at night and they even do karaoke. I’d say the only cons I thought would be with the rooms. I understand people come in and out at all times of the day and night so it’s different than a hotel since you’re sharing a room with people and you may be disturbed or the light may be off. You have to make your own bed when you get there which isn’t a big deal but some may think that. I paid for a room with A/C since it’s hot in BA, but the AC didn’t work and I still got charged the same price. We had a bathroom in the room and it didn’t get cleaned the whole 5 days I was there. There was a girls panties hanging in the shower on the faucet which I guess was from a previous person. I’ve been at other hostels where it’s like a community bathroom/shower room in the hallway so at least it’s like a private bathroom there. Overall, I think it’s a great hostel and I would definitely stay there again. If I stayed again I’d probably rent a single room so I know my bathroom would be clean and wouldn’t have to deal with the toilet being nasty, guys hair all over, etc. This place isn’t bad so give it a try, even if it’s just for a day.

    Couldn‘t pay cash and therefore it was absolutely overpriced regarding value for money. Check in is on your phone and you need to put in your data on your own, which would be fine if the entering file was coded properly. It crashed three times for us so that is just unnecessary. For 25$ per night you have to put the sheets on by yourself which have stains all over them and the sheet for the pillow does not even fit its size. Beds are old, lockers kind of crashed and rooms tiny so you cant really move between the suitcases. Shower in our rooms was kind of blocked so you are standing in 4cm of water with pubic hair…disgusting. The air condition sounded like a tractor and went on every half an hour or so during the night. Party goes on until 02:00am, so you hear screaming from everywhere until then. There is only one elevator so waiting time is outrageous. Would all be fine for 7$, otherwise it is just a scam.

    I recently had the unfortunate experience of staying at Milhouse, and as a seasoned traveler with over 60 countries under my belt, I must say it was one of the most disappointing hostel stays I've ever had. First and foremost, the staff at this place seemed utterly disinterested in their jobs. Their lackadaisical attitude was evident from the moment I walked through the door. It's as if they were doing me a favor by allowing me to stay there. A warm welcome was nowhere to be found. The check-in process was excruciatingly slow, and it felt like I was being punished for wanting to stay at their establishment. After a long journey, the last thing you want is a drawn-out check-in process that saps your patience and energy. Now, let's talk about the supposed amenities. The Wi-Fi was an absolute disaster. It was either nonexistent or so slow that it might as well have been. For a hostel that boasts of catering to travelers, having a functional Wi-Fi connection should be non-negotiable. And then there was the elevator – if you can even call it that. I've seen my fair share of slow elevators in my travels, but the one at Milhouse took the cake. It seemed to move at a pace reminiscent of a sloth in a leisurely stroll, and it served the entire building, which meant waiting forever to get to your room or back down to the lobby. To add insult to injury, I had heard whispers during my travels that Milhouse used to be a lively, party hostel. However, during my stay, it was far from lively. It felt more like a deserted library than a place for travelers to socialize and have a good time. But perhaps the most infuriating aspect of my stay was their insistence on gouging money from customers by making you pay in the US dollar equivalent. This is not only inconvenient but also feels like a blatant cash grab. Why not just charge in the local currency like every other respectable establishment? In conclusion, my stay at Milhouse was a profound disappointment. The indifferent staff, painfully slow check-in, non-existent Wi-Fi, and glacial elevator made for a truly miserable experience. If you're a seasoned traveler looking for a vibrant and accommodating hostel, I strongly recommend you steer clear of this place. It's a far cry from the lively and welcoming atmosphere I had heard about, and it left me with nothing but regret for choosing to stay there.

    The hostel is really nice. There's a good atmosphere and the staff are very nice. The dorms were spacious and had everything we needed!

    Rudest receptionist ever encountered. We came back late and they wanted 120$ for another night in the same room we previously booked for 30$. They laughed at us when we questioned the price. By far the worst hostel of BA I have experienced.

    Great and fun hostel. Supports a lot of activities with great and friendly staff. The rooms are very comfortable with lockers and bunk beds and private bathrooms. Meeting people all over the world in the every-night parties. Definitely a recommendation for those who wants to have a good time and meet new people!

    Clean rooms , not so spacious dorms, the stuff helps with anything you need and the reception is 24/7. The kitchen is a little dirty. Great facilities and good vibes! Located close only to the obelisk and surrounded with bus stops and metro stations but it’s not the best location you can find in Buenos Aires, it’s better to stay in the area of recoleta or palermo (better atmosphere and it feels safer in the streets).

    At the beginning of our stay at the Milhouse we didn’t have AC for two whole nights which is terrible at summer. At the reception they offered us a *discount* on the breakfast because that’s worth two nights of sleeping right? To continue if you like sleeping at night it’s impossible because there is lots of noise from the parties at the bar. They don’t respect any kind of quiet hours and it’s impossible to sleep until 2 AM. And to finish the experience they told us we have to pay 5,000 ARS for charges that never happened and when we asked about what suddenly the girl at the front desk don’t know english. And I haven’t even started to talk about the price for this experience…

    I love this spot. You can literally stay there and never leave this place and still have one of the best experiences. Staff is suuper nice. They can exchange money, have a nice bar. Super cozy rooms. Staff that speaks fluent English. Like what is there more to wish for ? Only recommend for people until 40 I guess. And no kids.

    They helped me out with cash when I ran out of dollars, with a very fair ratio via credit card!

    Tried to stay here twice. Both times they said they were overbooked and didn't have a room for me even though I had a confirmed reservation. Pisco (the manager) didn't really seem to care when I spoke with her. Zero compensation was offered and I had to walk to a nearby hotel and pay for my own room. Don't trust them when they say confirmed reservation. It's totally meaningless. Update: if you read the managers comments below they are essentially saying reservations are meaningless and they don’t honour them.

    Room was only OK. Shower was always hot. Looked under my mattress to see lots of garbage including someone's dirty underwear and plenty of snot/cum rags. Bed was made almost everyday of stay so that was a positive. But they had people checking in to the room at 830am on a couple occasions. And housekeeping was in every morning by about 930am to try an get a headstart on their cleaning. Had to make your own bed upon arrival for some reason. Bar was good. Most of the staff/volunteers did a good job. One staff member who did most of the event coordination at the bar was a bit aggressive in her delivery. Shouting "FREE SHOTS" instead of offering them politely. Overall in the bar I wasn't overly comfortable. It seemed a lot of the guests in there were not guests of the hostel but friends and former volunteers of the hostel and they got better service than those actually spending money at the hostel. I spoke to a few people who even said they were now locals who volunteered in the past. They continually got the "free shots" while the guests were bypassed. I even witnessed some of them bringing in their own alcohol, while it's a rule to not bring in any alcohol from outside. Rule was not enforced at all while I was there as I watched a table next to me put a bottle of gin on their table one night and consum it while staff could care less. (see photo) They claim the communal kitchen gets locked at 1030PM. I brought back a pizza on one night at 10PM, labeled it and attached a tag as they request so food does not get left too long or mistaken by someone for their own. At 1230 I went downstairs to see the kitchen not locked. Checked on my pizza because the bar was busy with non guests, and 4 slices had been stolen, surprise. Went to the front desk to point out it was in fact not locked yet and that I had food stolen because they failed to ensure its safety overnight and they barely cared. But did lock the kitchen. Woke up in the morning to find my last 2 pieces had also been stolen. Knew nothing would be done about it but tried to mention it to reception, but the abrasive bar host passed it off like it was nothing and claimed she would tell the manager... Later went back and mentioned it to another receptionist who just said "it's OK, it's ok". I just wanted them to keep an eye out for a theif. If they're willing to steal someone's food, why won't they steal a phone or a bottle from the bar?!?! Website and partner sites say they offer laundry. Not true. They send you a block away. Claim their washing machine is "broken", but then how are they washing their sheets and wash cloths for the bar? Elevator is probably the slowest one in the americas. Key cards need to be redone almost daily. Overall it would be OK to stay for a night or 2 during the weekend if you didn't plan on storing anything in the kitchen and you just wanted to meh party. Better parties outside the hostel. Overpriced as just a crash pad tho. Decent location. Some decent staff. I'd recommend going elsewhere tho. Edit: Still no response or request from management for anymore information towards this issue. dropping from a 2 to a 1. Shows how much they care about guests concerns. Keep up the work Millhouse. Send some staff to Viajero and Wild Rover on how to deliver a safe party scene.

    Great place to go for socialising. However we had bed bugs in our dorm. The last night I saw and killed one on my pillow. It was full of blood. We got a full refund for our final night but not for the previous 3 nights we'd stayed in the room. The previous 3 nights were about X3 more expensive per night as it was New Year's. They offered to give us a free breakfast too. What I thought were mosquito bites, were obviously mosquito bites. I had lots. We weren't able to change rooms as the hostel was full. Instead someone changed our sheets and put a disinfectant powder around the bed.

    Very good Hostel, people at the reception have been incredibly helpful and friendly, they all helped making the stay comfier and mostly happier. The room was clean, of good size, and was clean as well. I recommend this hostel to everyone looking for a well located room in the centre of Buenos Aires, with tons of international travelers to meet and party with :))

    one of the BEST HOSTELS I have stayed at IN THE WORLD. I have stayed at 70+ hostels all over the world and this is one of the best. Everything is so well run and so friendly and social. It is the PERFECT HOSTEL TO MEET PEOPLE and make connections. The people that work here are SO FRIENDLY AND AMAZING. the hostel is very clean, they even make the beds. They give replacement sheets or a towel change if you ask for no charge. They have AMAZING FOOD, the breakfast and the rest of the day there is food available and it's delicious. The PRICES ARE VERY AFFORDABLE, this is one of the only hostels where the food and drinks do not have a markup, it is competitive pricing. The have a GREAT BAR ATMOSPHERE which is a very nice party vibe but still far enough from the rooms that you won't hear any noise if trying to sleep. It's a really cool place definitely recommend !

    Great location in the city, I had a private room which was really nice. Only grumble was the aircon units in and out of the room are really loud, I asked for mine to be turned off at reception which helped. No breakfast included here but you can buy it.

  • 4/5 Gavin M. 9 months ago on Google
    Decent hostel to stay at. The rooms are clean and fairly spacious, however the room I stayed in did not have privacy curtains on the beds, and was very humid after a bit. Regardless the staff are all very polite and helpful, and the location is great with hundreds of things to do nearby!

  • 2/5 Sam M. 4 years ago on Google
    Not bad, not great. Party hostel. Really rude staff working nights, housekeeping enter at any time without knocking and they have a strange aircon system that they seem to decide for themselves every evening. The security guard locked us in the reception area when we were checking out and didn’t let us put our bags onto the coach until we paid (despite there being a line of at least 8 people waiting). Hotels around are a lot nicer and better priced.

  • 5/5 Luka S. 4 years ago on Google
    I had a wonderful time at Milhouse Hostel. It is the perfect place for travelers that want to explore the city and get to know other travelers. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the food and drinks at the hostel were good and cheap and the service was great. Milhouse hostel organizes Sightseeing events and party events everyday. I did the La Boca walking tour and it was great. The hostel staff members speak English, are very friendly and they know how to party! I made many friends at this place. Hope to come back one day.

  • 4/5 Pia O. 4 years ago on Google
    An amazing old building right in the middle of the center. Location couldn't be better. I stayed in a 6 bed room for women and it was quiet and clean. Cannot help but praise the staff who were warm and nice and friendly both spanish and english, in the time of need they were there to fix any problems one might have. One big minus was that there was no wine at the hostel bar, maybe they'll fix the situation for my next visit. Definitely recommending for all fellow travelers.

  • 5/5 Cassandra D. 6 years ago on Google
    This is a party hostel; however, when you want to get away and go up to the rooms you do not hear anything. the rooms are very spacious and the wifi works great! drink at the bar are good and the kitchen is very spacious. If party and getting to know new people is what you are looking for, this is the place to stay.

  • 5/5 Ben W. 6 years ago on Google
    Its more like a hotel, a very comprehensive experience with a thorough check-in process and the rooms are just amazing in terms of decor. All the rooms are accessed via outside balconies. A few nights a week however the hostel does host parties which may keep you awake 'til the small hours. Tours and trips are plentiful with this being the capital city. They really want you to enjoy a tango lesson which we took them up and the offer and in doing so I experienced a bit a Argentina culture and heritage. Would happily stay here again. The wierd thing is despite looking very ordinary and easy to miss from the street, inside its everything you want from a hostel.

  • 4/5 yaniv b. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome hostel, has bar and serves breakfast. Offers tours in the city and bike rides, along with many other activities. Rooms are nice clean and cozy, room service makes the bed daily. Towels smell clean but they had some stains. Location is great- right at the city center.

  • 5/5 Rohit 2 years ago on Google
    I've been to many hostels & I can safely say that this one is absolutely amazing! The rooms and common areas are clean, it has a really cool vibe and most importantly: The stuff is just awesome. I came into contact with Nehuen, Carla, Sofia and Augistina and they were all so nice! Always ready to help with questions and even giving some really great recommendations of fun things to do in Buenos Aires. I am pretty sure they are the main reason why the vibe in the hostel just feels perfect. Can highly recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Mauricio C. 2 years ago on Google
    It is a very nice place with many options to enjoy Buenos Aires. It has a nice bar, a terrace ready for asado, and a quite place for work.

  • 3/5 Chris T. 1 year ago on Google
    Shower room was basically falling apart. No one joined some of the social activities organised by the hostel, but that could just be a timing issue

  • 5/5 Michael M. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed 4 nights in a dorm and 1 night in a private room. Dorms & adjacent bathrooms were spacious, with ample storage place in lockers in each room. Beds were a bit dated and not the most comfortable mattresses, curtains on dorm beds for privacy would have been nice. Daily service in rooms and everything throughout the property was pretty clean. Private room was comfortable but a bit overpriced for what you got. Communal facilities (rooftop, kitchen, lounge, bar, etc) were nice, although it was a bit surprising that the rooftop wasn't more popular. Onsite restaurant (breakfast/lunch) had tasty food for a good price. Staff were exceptional- very friendly, efficient, and professional in handling seemingly any question or issue thrown at them. A very well managed hostel overall. Pre check-in/post check-out secure luggage storage very easy here. They also do a great job at connecting fellow travelers and organizing social events on a nightly basis. WiFi works great throughout hostel. Would definitely recommend if you are visiting BA and looking to have a social experience connecting with others.

    An absolute disgrace, ripping off tourists for their own gain, they should be ashamed of themselves. BEWARE, THEY TAKE THE REAL USD VALUE. They don't respect the argentine peso value that Booking gives (they charge double the argentine peso rate) and even if you want to pay with credit card to get the MEP rate, they charge you with USD without telling you so that you don't even get this. It is 100% not worth what you pay. Please go somewhere else where you can get a private room for the same price. ANYWHERE. The person checking us in had 0 empathy and it was as if she was instructed to get tourists to pay more. Honestly I don't understand any good review of this place and how they are still doing what they're doing. Also, nowhere on their page does it say they don't respect the argentine peso rate that Booking gives.

    Super friendly hostel and very nice facilities. Everything was very clean, specially the rooms. Rooms have lockers where you can leave your stuff very safely. Definitely will be coming again soon.
