zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

HostelBookers customers pay for 6 nights and get 7!   La Rocca offers all the usual things you would expect from a hostel in Buenos Aires: cheap rates, friendly English-speaking staff, 24/7 check-in, secure lockers & bag storage, free internet & Wi-Fi, fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms, free breakfast, round-the-clock cleaners and comfortable beds with fresh linen. It even has a few extras like it's stylish 1900’s building complete with colorful aquariums, 24hr Bar, free Nightclub tickets, free emergency medical call-out service, airport transfers and a location bang in the heart of the city, surrounded by 4 subway lines, 45 local bus lines. we’ll even throw in a free night if you pay for 6 upfront!     Really, though, it has a lot more. La Rocca offers guests a chance to experience Buenos Aires from the inside out. Run by Argentineans (although don't worry, they all speak English!) La Rocca’s staff will not only help and advise you with every aspect of your travels, from your daily itinerary to your onward destinations, they will also share their mate with you, teach you the local lingo, make you a cocktail and invite you to enjoy asado, the traditional barbecue.   And the Argentinean lifestyle isn’t the only culture you can tune into at La Rocca. The hostel is famed for its eclectic mix of cultures, with guests from all over South & Central America mixing with Australians, Europeans, North Americans and just about every other nationality. The bar is a hub of different languages, the kitchen and terrace full of travelers sharing stories, plans, food and more often than not, a few beers.   But don’t worry, if you just want to relax and stay out of the limelight, ask for the 3rd floor, where the drones of the all-night bar are unheard and private single & double rooms provide some backpacker luxury (Cable TV, A/C, Heaters).   And if you really want to get away from it all, La Rocca’s sister hostel in Buenos Aires, located in Palermo is now taking bookings (email for details) or else LA Rocca properties can offer you a long-term package with cheap deals on fully furnished apartments all over the city.   Yes, they really do have everything covered but if you think of anything else, send them an email and they’ll do everything they can to accommodate you.
