The hostel is very clean and nice. There is a pool room, a tv to relax, a rooftop to cook meat and the common areas are very nice.
The owners and workers are very nice and friendly and they help you all the time. The people that are travelling there were all friendly. I defined recommend the hostel
Loved this hostel. The staff was amazing, the dog was insanely awesome and overall the vibes were amazing. Also, they let me play Bad Bunny. Love from Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
Location decent.
Rooms: You can hear everything as close to kitchen and hang out area (if one guest is loud in the common area then you will not sleep well). Hence, if you are unlucky by another guests (heavy snoring) or loud guests (room close to common areas) then your stay will be difficult.
Lockers: They don't invest in lockers. You can easily unscrew the screws as it's not locked in. Barely anybody used the lockers. Again, money profiting owners.
Kitchen and breakfast: Decent
Luggage storage: ok like most hostels but not in a secured location.
Showers: nice
Night buses or after check out: Terrible. You must pay to stay in premises. They don't tell you that or it is not mentioned/ written. I have been only in two hostels during my 2 years trip that enforced this, both owners are simply greedy. P.S. read other comments in regards to this.
Overall avoid as you can pay a bit more and go to a nearby hostel where you will sleep (below) and if traveling using a night bus the next day you would want to use a hostel that will at least let you stay in the living room (not expecting to use kitchen) but any decent place to rest.
The owners simply focus on revenues. They knowingly knew they had a noisy sleeping guest, which is not their problem, but this guesy was an es extreme case (made at least 3 guest switch room or end they're stay). A responsible hostel owner will not let you endure this rare experience by either advising you earlier or place you into another dorm. Instead they will dump you with this rare occasion as to how
hope you take the private room. This is what they proposed to me where the other dorm was half full.
btw: The private room was not an offer to compensate me for the hardship or goodwill but was a greedy attempt to profit from an unfortunate extreme case of a guest who had medical issues to resolve. The guests was a situation known to them and they took advantage of his illness to push private rooms. In either case, the dorm is next to the common areas (drinking and party) and the owners do not attempt to end the show or ask them to respect guests during late hours. read other similar reviews.

Reviews
A la Gurda Hostel in Tucuman is praised for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests enjoy the pool room, rooftop for cooking, and nice common areas. However, some mention issues with noise from common areas affecting sleep quality and lack of secure lockers. The hostel's kitchen and breakfast are described as decent, while showers are noted to be nice. Despite positive aspects, there are complaints about being charged to stay after check-out and a focus on profits over guest comfort.Review score

We would have left a five star rating if it wasn't for being denied access to the common areas after we had checked out and stored our bags. I've never been to a hostal that doesn't let you chill, buy water and wait for our night bus in the entire world of countries that I have been to. A great experience with hot showers and clean rooms marred by being ejected from the property after check out. It's just bad business.
The staff is very welcoming. They have several staff members but the one who spoke English was very helpful in guiding me to the local places. Also she saved me a trip to the bus terminal by providing the schedule. This a young place with a few oldsters.
