LA CASONA DE DON JAIME I - II & SUITES
When visiting Rosario stay at one of these two backpacker friendly hostels. La Casona de Don Jaime I is located close to downtown and within walking distance from the main attractions. They have private rooms or dorms, and all the facilities to make your stay comfortable.
La Casona de Don Jaime II & Suites is their other cool place to enjoy being in Rosario. They offer private rooms and dorms with shared bathrooms in this renovated XX century house, revamped to offer comfort and fun to all guests. They recently inaugurated a cool small bar and a 2nd fl oor with 10 ensuite stylish private rooms.
Both hostels are downtown and close to everything. The difference between the two is that La Casona de Don Jaime I has Roots Bar, and therefore it’s a little bit noisier and full of people during weekends. La Casona de Don Jaime II & Suites is quieter and has bigger rooms, some with private bathrooms and a bigger yard with a climbing wall. Still, both Casonas follow a single concept: they want to offer you a great place to stay with lots of things to keep you entertained and a savvy staff to be there for you.
Take your pick from 10% off your stay at check in, 5th night for free or welcoming drink!
