Maison colonial Coliving — Hotel in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

AVOID this hostel.

The receptionist lady had a severe inferiority complex. I walked into the main lobby entrance that was still just a little moist from mop having been passed 10 mins or so ago.

The receptionist bombastically got mad and demanded I leave the hostel for having disrespected the janitor.

I apologized and said “this is clearly a misunderstanding, and a bit of an overreaction, I just needed to get through the lobby and the floor looked pretty dry”.

She responded “ok, no problem” and then went back to her reception desk.

I was like, “wow, that was awkward”.

She then secretly called the police.

LMAO. No jokes.

The police showed up, and politely and professionally asked I leave. I don’t know what she told them, but she obviously must have exaggerated the story.

I briefly tried to explain the situation to the police in my broken Spanish, but decided midway through that it wasn’t even worth it and would just be simpler and better to leave and find another hostel as there was nothing to be gained at this point and I definitely no longer wanted to stay here.

I decided I would wait until I was out of the country to write this review.

I imagine anyone reading this might actually be laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation -- believe me, I was not laughing in the moment, just shaking my head in utter disbelief and saying “are some people actually this delusional?”.

I would simply advise my friends and family to avoid this hostel.

Just another comical travel story added to my repertoire on my second day...

After a long trip in Uruguay staying in shared rooms, I decided to stay in a single room so I could rest a bit. But the room I stayed in was very very noisy, since the hostel is right in front of a busy street, it was very hard to sleep. It has a big window with a view which is nice, but the curtain was white, so the room was very bright all day. The pillows were the worst, not clean. The bathroom needed a good cleaning, at least the shower was very hot and good water flow. The wifi in the room was very bad, kept losing connection, it worked very well in the common areas though. Also, they don't accept Visa card, only mastercard, which was a surprise and made me have to run to a bank to withdraw money. No laundry service in the hostel, but I found two nearby. Breakfast has limited bread and NO butter. ||||There were some positive things too:||Friendly and helpful staff, central location, walking distance to most tourist attractions, and close to two different subte lines, making easier to go to more distant places like Palermo and Recoleta. Lots of restaurantes, supermarkets,...
