Excellent but no bathtubs

Lovely place to stay. I had a private room. Bathtub did not work I asked to change rooms and was told it would be the same. They have working showers but no working bathrooms. Cafe on site is great. Front desk staff are helpful. Location is perfect. Walking to many restaurants and cafes.

Highly recommend staying at the Selina Palermo when visiting Buenos Aires!! The Palermo Soho area is such a great place to stay to experience BA and be around so many shops, restaurants, bars, and parks within walking distance. The Selina Palermo is like a hostel but still has private rooms, so even though we got our privacy we still had the benefit of being in a place with a downstairs bar, meeting other travelers, enjoying the DJ sets. We were able to rent bikes from Selina to explore the city. All the workers were so friendly - really just an awesome vibe!

Good hostel in Palermo

Very modern hostel and good facilities for digital nomads. Prices are set accordingly, too. Some staff were great (night reception for my check-in, people at the bar), but some others I felt like I was disturbing them by saying hello while they spoke with other co-workers... Sometimes, the bathroom was a bit untidy, as the water was coming out of the shower.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in the all-women's room with three bunk beds. It was comfortable and tidy. My only concern is that the sheets were some kind of polyester/cotton blend. I didn't like the feel, and there may be some health concerns sleeping in polyester. Not sure why they can't be basic cotton. Otherwise, the location is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the breakfast options are great.

Could have been better

Overall, a very pleasant stay, but the administrative issues under the new owners are evident. There is no coworking space, so I had to work in their café/bar area, where loud music and constant foot traffic made it impossible to work properly. Both my bathroom and the kitchen had leaks, causing flooding and creating a safety hazard. My door had a faulty lock, which meant my roommates and I had to struggle for several minutes every time we tried to open it. The kitchen was equipped with extremely old and dirty utensils, the trash was not taken out frequently and smelled bad, there were no cups available until guests had to ask for them, and cutlery was often in short supply due to the limited number of pieces. On the bright side, all the staff members were very helpful and polite.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The only good thing about this hotel/hostel is the location. The staff are extremely rude and unhelpful, even at basic interactions like check-in. The property is falling apart. For example, the toilets don’t flush properly and you have to disassemble it every time to get it to flush. The selling point was the rooftop but they had it closed two of the four days we were there. Stay here only if you can’t find anything else in Palermo.

The best part about this hostel is definitely the many ways to socialise (they use a hostel whatsapp group), the amazing location and helpful staff. But, it is too expensive for what it is. It isn't that different to other hostels in the area but charges more. The bathrooms are clean but old. There is no terrace or outdoor social space. Breakfast was not included.

Die Lobby sehr schön und Rooftopbar auch. Aber immer fehlte irgendwas. Einen Tag gab es weder Bier noch Weißwein keine Zerrodrinks. In der Lobby waren keine Sandwiches. Es gab keine Mikrowelle. Die Türöffnung musste mehrmals nachgestellt werden, die Badezimmer Tür könnte man nur mit Gewalt schießen und nicht abschließen. Aber es hat mir trotzdem gefallen, Zimmer großzügig und Balkon in bester Lage.
