Stayed at the Tango Hostel on 2014-06-20. They were reticent about accepting bikes but in the end they accept two DR650s under agreement that we moved them in the morning. It sounded like the PM staff has to beg the person on the phone. The garage mentioned in the OP is now mainly used for backpack storage and asado - a common room.

I spoke with the staff as I was told, and I paraphrase: "We welcome motorcyclist but having motorcycles is a hassle to us. They are in the way of our backpack storage and asado grill. We would rather not have them as their is cheap paid parking down the street."

In the end, the Tango Hostel's space was cramped, with people tripping over each other in the kitchen, etc. It was really a "gap year" party hostel with fairly loud music and a constant chatter until 1:30AM curfew. YMMV.

Would recommend Puerto Limon Hostel, happy for you to drive through reception and living-room to park in the central internal patio! It doubles as a smoking-area, although there is space for about 6 bikes, I dont know what their threshold is! Well maintained hostel and good kitchen. Decent dorms.

Chacabuco 1080,
San Telmo


I stayed in Kilca Hostel also, but wouldnt recommend it. It has a large internal patio that is adjacent to the building, which could take quite a few bikes. It is poorly maintained and quite run-down. The prices on their website are cheaper than walk-in prices, but you can ask for the internet price.

Javito Hospedaje,
Sarmiento 634

The Owner Jorge loves motorcyclists and is very fun and outgoing guy. 200-250ARS per person.

Has long side garage with ramp that can hold maybe 8 bikes.

Place is basic. It has a kitchen and dining area. Wifi is limited, only available in front of building.

Salta

Tierra Culta is nice but popular and gets fully booked.
An alternative is Las Rejas, run by a very nice and helpful man, although there is only room for a couple of bikes. It is also located in a better part of town and has a more upscale B&B if that is your thing.
Las Rejas Hostel - B & B - Alojamiento Hostel Hostal Bed And Breakfast Ubicado en el Centro de la Ciudad de Salta

El Bolson
Luz de la Luna is a nice place with lots of parking out back.

terra occulta, in Salta costs 30 pesos now and has not improved. But it may still be the best option there.

In Tucuman, Hostal Tucuman, Buenos Aires 669. Decent place, if expensive (24 pesos for dorm, 70 for dbl with bathroom), but they have free internet and a nice backgarden. Breakfast is 5-10 pesos more.

Also good in Salta is Hostel El Correcaminos, Vincente Lopez 353. It has parking in the courtyard for a couple of bikes. The staff are super friendly, helpful and most speak english. They have a kitchen, free internet and it is very clean. Four blocks from the plaza.

La casa Roja. one of the cheapest hostel we can find in santiago. there is a garage by the side. if u like party bag packers disturbing your rest in the night,this is the place.

one of the owner had traveled from south america to alaska on bike. his behivior does not looked like a biker, to me is a poser, boasting to everyone about his trip. well, he is also a regular in the HU. we didnt felt welcome from day 1 even we have stayed there for more than a week.

if u are reading this, you know who am i.

i would rate this hostel as the BEST place to stay (because its cheap) and Best place to party.

a dorm bed cost 8000p. parking is 2000p/24 hrs. is 1000p per bottle so bagpackers got drunk whole day. some other hostel nearby there are 8500p with parking. are 1500p per bottle. a little bit expensive but we got a good rest from the party and sick people we saw.

i was asked to leave the hostel on one night. they refunded the money(5 nights which i paid in advance) to me.

why?

singapore dream: we were ask to leave the hostel thou we have paid for the week



i would strongly recommand this hostel for party people.
