V!VA User‘s Description

Five blocks from Plaza Dorrego, the Via Via Buenos Aires Café and Hostel grants travelers backstage access to the heartbeat of San Telmo’s unique tango and café culture, swapping front-row for budget prices. The airy, colonial house is charmingly refurbished and comfortable, with simple rooms (five double and one dormitory) and impeccable shared baths. Part of an international chain of 12 hostels, Via Via Buenos Aires achieves the company´s mission of engaging visitors through direct immersion with their host countries. The café downstairs (the free breakfast is raved about) is one of the most spirited in the area, with live music, value-packed meals, cheap drinks and a late-night schedule, making it a popular hangout among locals and return international travelers alike. A plethora of activities, such as Chef-for-a-Day classes and a walking tour dubbed “Buenos Aires Though the Eyes of an Architect,” make it easy for guests to explore the city while also meeting new people. Conveniently located to public transportation, and with loads of nearby pizza places, bars and tango shows all in the center of one of Buenos Aires’ most vibrant neighborhoods, Via Via is good value for people looking to spend time outside their rooms (which are, by the way, windowless) discovering the city.
