I had a pleasant stay overall at Casa Franca Recoleta Hostel Boutique. The staff were welcoming and friendly, even offering me mate on a rainy day. The location in Recoleta was great, close to many attractions. However, the common areas could use more attention to cleanliness, especially the bathrooms.
