10 advantages of choosing a Hostel
Staying at a Hostel is an advantage in many ways:
1- Rates
Hostels are cheaper than Hotels or Bed & Breakfasts. You will save money and you will be
able to afford a longer stay, excursions, outings or visits to other towns.
2- Making new friends
Hostels have certain areas that can be shared by guests from all over the world. You will
listen to stories and anecdotes, meet people with broad travel experience, you will play
pool and table football, watch movies, go dancing or go on excursions with them.
3- Activities at the Hostels and outings
Hostels usually organize different activities such as parties, tango lessons, Playstation
tournaments, ping-pong or pool games. Sometimes you will enjoy a traditional argentine
barbecue.
They will offer you a variety of entertainments. There are many options: you may go
dancing, watch a football game at Boca Juniors Stadium, go sightseeing, see a tango show,
visit a ranch, go on different excursions and enjoy alternative tourism and package tours.
