Description
Welcome to the GardenHouse Art Factory, a unique, original and amazing hostel located in the very heart of San Telmo, the bohemian and artistic area of Buenos Aires.

We named this place Art Factory because it combines a soulful mix of arts, style and fun in a huge antique mansion of 900 sq. meters in the oldest quartier in Buenos Aires.
GardenHouse Art Factory is a hostel crafted by architects, graphic designers, street artists, illustrators and open-minded creative people.

With all the amenities and services of a great hostel, we will help you experience one of the best kept secrets of Argentina.

5 Spot On/Cool
Loved it! Staff really friendly, helpful, and funny. Great location in the heart of San Telmo, ten minutes' walk from the centre of Buenos Aires. Cool art on the walls of the rooms. Really intimate feel, everyone gets to know each other. The only problem is limited equipment in the kitchen. But I've loved it and would recommend to anyone.

The hostel is in an ideal location. The staff members were very helpful, courteous, and friendly. They made me feel welcome and had suggestions posted to guide guests around the city. They were always available for queries and they made valuable suggestions. We were aware of all major activities in and around San Telmo. Dining together and chatting with other guests helped to make us feel relaxed. Free internet access and television also helped create a "family" environment. Guests were able to relax and enjoy the hospitality and warmth of Garden House Art Factory. The staff also made all arrangements for pick-up from, as well as return trip to the airport. It was easy to make all arrangements from the United States before going to Buenos Aires. It was a great relief having somewhere to stay even before leaving home. When I visit Buenos Aires again I will definitely choose this hostel as my "home away from home."
