Description
My brother and I, just turned our family house into a hostel. It is a brand new hostel, opened in october 2017. It's been a long way since we decided to start this project and we finally made it!, we are very proud and our goal is that our guests feel like they are staying at my family´s house as special guests, and not "just" in a hostel.
By the way... we received the "Guest Review Award 2017" with a 9.3 score. We are very proud and aim to keep the score through 2018.
If you want to contribute to making this project a reality, please contact us! we still have a lot to learn and improve, and your help, feedback and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Junto con mi hermano, ,acabamos de convertir nuestra casa familiar en un hostel. Es un hostel recién abierto en octubre de 2017. Fue un largo proceso desde que arrancamos el proyecto y finalmente lo logramos!, estamos muy orgullosos y queremos que nuestros huéspedes se sientan como invitados a "nuestra" casa, y no como simples huéspedes de un hostel.
Hemos recibido el "Guest Review Award 2017" con un puntaje de 9,3. Estamos muy orgullosos y felices y esperamos mantener el mismo puntaje durante 2018.
Si querés ayudarnos a continuar este nuevo proyecto, no dudes en contactarnos! tenemos aún mucho por aprender y agradeceríamos mucho tu contribución.

Brian colaboró con nosotros por dos meses. Nos cautivó con su particular humor y modo de conectarse con la gente. Inteligente y sagaz con su tarea de recepción, demostró su interés en aprender y darle su toque particular a su hacer; trabajó mejor durante los turnos diurnos. También se hizo cargo de unas plantas del hostel que dan flores como… read more

It has been my first workaway experience, and I couldn't ask for better place to start this adventure... I needed a place to feel home and comfortable... Augusto and the other volunteers made me feel at home. I'll miss the asados on the roof and the fernets on the terrace. . . The work wasn't hard and the place is really calm and cosy ...

Sjoerd or James (as he called himself), or James Dylan (as we babtized him) was a great Volunteer!! A very transparent funny guy who easily became part of the team, despite knowing little spanish when he arrived.

Mi experiencia en Hostal fue increíble. Desde el momento yo llegué el equipo me hizo sentir en casa.

Había un muy bien royo entre todos.

El trabajo es muy fácil 35 horas por semana en la recepción ayudando los clientes con cualquier consulta que tengan-cosas para hacer en la cuidad o por las sierras y actualizando nuevas reservas. Normalmente trabajas los turnos de noche y los fines de semanas pero con flexibilidad.

El Hostel está muy bien ubicado, bien en el centro y solo 10 minutos a pie de todos los bares y restaurantes de Guemes y Nueva Cordoba. Y tienes un montón de lugares en los sierras a visitar con tus días libres.

No podría recomendar más este Hostel. Fue una experiencia inolvidable si tienes la oportunidad de trabajar acá haz lo!

Chicos gracias por todo, un abrazo enorme y nos vemos muy pronto!

My experience working at the hostel was incredible! The team made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The owners Augus and Fran are lovely and it's clear that they take pride in everything they do in the hostel. The hostel was their family home and it still has this vibe, it's very relaxed and easy to get to know all the guests. The manager Caita is a star and couldn't do more to make sure you are comfortable and happy. The other team members I got to know during my two months there were like brothers. There was always a great atmosphere between everyone.
The work is really easy, 35 hours per week in the reception helping guests with any enquiries they have on where to go in the city or the nearby towns and updating any new reservations. You normally work nights and weekends but with some flexibility.
The hostel is in an amazing location, right in the centre and just 10 mins walk from all the bars and restaurants in Guemes or Nueva Cordoba areas. And there are so many places in the nearby countryside you can visit on your days off.

I honestly can't recommend this hostel highly enough, if you have the chance to work here- do it!

Guys thank you so much for everything. Sending you all a massive hug and hopefully see you soon!

This hostel feels more like a house than a hostel and I met a really nice group of volunteers, staff members and guests.
