Stayed in Kilka hostel, in Monserat neighborhood, in September 2012. The courtyard is safe, but the place was dirty.

In January 2013, we tried Puerto Limon Hostel, in San Telmo. Plenty of space for the bike, eventhough it can get crowded and not be a quiet place. Very clean, very friendly staff at that time.

General road warrior advice,
  • start looking for lodging before it gets dark
  • ask to see the room and if the wifi is working today
  • ask if they have a place for your bike (they might have a night guard stationed in the parking lot or know of a cheap garage down the street.)

I was in Buenos Aires in March. I stayed at two places, one was the hostil closest to the airport. Both places had no secure parking but they let me park next to the front door. I covered the bike and had no problems at all.

As I live on Buenos Aires, I dont go to hostels here, but I had meet lots of people both in Kilka and Puerto Limon.
Had NEVER a problem recomending Puerto Limon.

Puerto Limon Hostel San Telmo
Great pleace, close to the San Telmo Market and Plaza, full of great people and with some place for the bikes.

If you're around Buenos Aires, and you need some help just send me a PM.

Update Guemes Y Oro Hostel

I don't have details but try sending them an email and ask if it's still available. You might need to remind them about it, it was only when I went back the second time that the guy behind the desk showed me where I could park.

If you look on google maps street view you can see the hostel and the basement doorway on Guemes

Also I just remembered contact Ed at

www.Xfiltrate.com - Professional Motorcycle Parking

He has a bike parking business. He was very helpful to me and other friends while I was in BA.

Good Luck

Ian J
I just found a card for the Guemes Hostel and according to the Facebook link, it's now closed, bugger.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
