	Is it for you? In a word Yes!!! Our aim is to be recognized as one of the top hostels in not only Buenos Aires but the world, providing exceptional customer satisfaction in our hostel. We have all the comfort & the fun needed to have a perfect stay in Buenos Aires. You can meet new and old friends in an atmosphere created for travelers by people who have travelers best interests in mind. Unlike other Hostels in Buenos Aires we cater solely for you!!! We feel our Hostel is exactly what you need for an unforgettable stay in BA. How did we start I hear you ask? Three like minded individuals from completely different parts of the world crossed paths in Dublin, Ireland of all places! One night over a packet of cigarettes and a bottle of wine, the conversation tilted towards the disgraceful places we'd all stayed in over the years, and ultimately that we could provide a better service for Hostelling folk. 4 months later we decided to put our theory to the test and the idea for Gecko was born. After much deliberation with different names we settled on Gecko, we found it was appropriate because as with travelers, the gecko is a rock hopper also.
	Where are we? Gecko is located in one of the coolest & trendiest neighbourhoods in town, Palermo. Palermo is divided into 3 zones: Palermo Hollywood (where Gecko is located), Palermo Soho & Las Cañitas. We have a comprehensive map and Google Earth link available on or website.
	And finally, We all wish you the very best on your travels. Whether you stay in Gecko or not we hope that St. Christopher (patron saint of travelers) guides a safe adventure for you through lands unknown. All the best, Staff @ Gecko Hostel
