- Area description
- Axel Hotel Buenos Aires is located in San Telmo, where history, bohemian-chic and the port city's gay scene meet. Cradle of the tango, San Telmo's characteristic features are its antiques stores, bars and restaurants in remodeled 19th century houses. A few blocks away from Avenida 9 de Julio and the Casa Rosada, every weekend the flea market fill the picturesque Plaza Dorrego with movement, people and colour.Lately, San Telmo is starting to position itself as the epicenter of the gay movement and scene, due to its tireless and hedonist nightlife, bars, discos and restaurants loaded with style and glamour, fashion boutiques, literary cafes and the mystic sensuality of the tango that can still be felt in its streets. In the heart of San Telmo, the staff of the Axel Hotel Buenos Aires will update you on the latest in the gay scene, so that you do not miss a thing.

Nice hotel, terrible location.
Overall a nice 3+ star hotel marred by the location. Despite being near the Casa Rosada, the San Telmo area is filthy and smelly, with pavements littered with rubbish and dog mess. It is described in the guide books as the romantic heart of Buenos Aries but is far from that. The hotel itself is well designed with very nice staff, but charges $15 per person per day for use of the very limited gym, steam room, sauna and roof top pool. This is despite it being marketed as a Hotel and Spa with no mention on the website of an extra charge. The sister hotel in Berlin does not charge extra for this.

Perfect for a tight budget
You cannot get any better for such a price. It is clean, comfortable, very good bed, staff is very helpful, the design is great. Every thing is just perfect. The only but is breakfast: I am vegan and there were not many options for me. Iti si gay, but really heterofriendly, there wer all kinds of people. Quiet.

Long walk from hotel
La oreja negra, not that well known place for live music in Palermo, check the schedule, sometimes moder tango, sometimes folk, but also rock and pop, which in Argentina is usually good quality.

Great hotel in San Telmo district
I would like to say that the staff in the front desk was very helpful. They did offer good suggestions for what I could do during my stay. My room faced the street the noise in the morning was not that bad. The cleaning staff really kept my room nicely cleaned and in a timely manner. My only suggestion for improvement is that the restaurant staff including the bartenders should try to be more friendly and less reserved because it can be interpreted as being cold therefore, one may not want to approach them

I suggest to go to a restaurant that is about six blocks away on Defensa street. It is called "Desnivel Rest" Food is excellent and not pricey like in other neighborhoods in the city. The only downfall is that they only take cash.

Don't shop in or near major hotels or tourist attractions . Be prepared to walk and ask where the locals shop.
