Locomotion Pop Hostel - Córdoba, Argentina

Comment by Mike Lewis, Santa Barbara, California

January 2005

I stayed recently with Enzo and Bruno for a few nights in late November 2004. It was one short week after they had opened. I initially met Enzo at the bus terminal, and though I was only passing through on my way to points elsewhere Enzo took the time to show me to the mini-bus part of the terminal for outlying areas. So on my return to Cordoba I looked up the Locomotion. Enzo and Bruno are the proprietors, and both are fun loving people. The rooms were clean, bright, and cheerful, to be expected in such a new establishment. The rooftop deck was a great place to congregate and barbecue, which the owners, the other travelers, and local friends all did. They arranged for day excursions for those who wanted them, and even asked if we (the travelers) would like to partake if they were to stay late and were preparing food. Overall, this is a great place to hang up one's boots for a spell. I met some memorable people at the Locomotion, some of whom I met later in Buenos Aires on the last leg of my trip. I made some lasting friendships for sure. I look forward to my next trip to South America, and if I find myself near Cordoba I no doubt will visit my friends at the Locomotion.
