밀하우스 호스텔 애비뉴

Milhouse is a piece of backpacking industry. Avenue is a big hostel, slightly quieter compared to the sister hostel Hipo, which is more party-oriented. The guests can freely move between the common spaces of both hostels, party in one, sleep in the other one. There are several features that make Milhouse a good base for exploring Buenos Aires. The hostel organizes walking tours in various parts of the city. The guests can book tickets to events (e.g. a tango show, La Bomba de Tiempo, and many other activities). There is a travel desk at Avenue, good if you will explore Argentina further. Another cool feature is a stripe-code sticker that you get when you check in. Easy to pay for breakfast and drinks at both Milhouse hostels, perfect during a party. Some rooms face a patio, some face the street. Mine was towards the street and therefore noisy. One should use ear plugs. The room was shabbish, but ok. The bathroom needs a makeover.

Rommet stinket og var fullt av mugg. Klaget til resepsjonen og direkte til hotels.com. Vi hadde kjøpt en lokal øl og en halvflakse bobler. Dette ble tatt fra oss i resepsjonen fordi hostellet visstnok har policy om at det ikke er lov med medbrakt alkohol (selv uåpnet!). Når vi skulle forlate hostellet, mistet vi nesten transporten vår til flyplassen fordi de ansatte ønsket å se kvittering for utsjekk. Vi hadde nettopp sjekket ut, ikke mottatt noe og heller ikke kjøpt noe på hostellet da dobbeltrommet vårt var forhåndsbetalt. Oppholdet var et mareritt!
