Excellent hotel in Palermo for the price

Super hotel for the price. Bathroom was large and shower worked great. The light wasn't really strong, so shaving was difficult. The heater worked well but was noisy. I was also at the front of the property and the traffic was noisy because it's in a cobble street. Luckily there were not many cars in the wee hours. Staff were all very welcoming, helpful, and friendly.

BEST HOTEL IN ARGENTINA. This was the nicest place I stayed in a month of travelling around Argentina. Clean, nice rooms, great aircon. Simple and basic, but inclusive breakfast for all guests. Jan and his team run a tight ship. Friendly helpful staff. Great location in beautiful safe Palermo. Good restaurants close by Gorgeous roof terrace for chilled relaxing evenings too. I would definitely recommending spending a few dollars more for one of the nicer larger rooms with high ceilings, and en suite bathroom. Most rooms have en suite anyway. Well worth it

Basic property but in a great location. Room was small but was as described. Included breakfast was a disappointment being mostly pastries and bread. Check-out was 10am, which is absurdly early. Bed was comfortable and staff was friendly enough. If you are just looking for a place to store your stuff and sleep for a short stay, this place is fine.

The property is definitely not an 8.3 rating as they displayed it on a sign in the dining area. The rooms are too small and cramped. The shower was awful as there was no place to put one’s toiletries or simply the soap. Also, when it rained, the water came down on the floors everywhere. The breakfasts were below adequate. Most of the staff was very nice and helpful with the exception of Carlos, who was the rudest Argentine we have ever met. He refused to give me change for a $10000 pesos or even contemplate us paying one of the two front desk workers to take our laundry to the laundromat for pay or for me to approach the cleaning lady to ask her to do it for us for pay. Consequently, we had to cancel one of our tours in order to get back earlier in order to drop the laundry off. The other workers, like Franco, were awesome. Finally, having no tv in the rooms is inconceivable as every other hotel we have stayed in Argentina for a similar price has always had it. Also, the walls and floors appeared unkempt, paint chipped, cement floors broken, that is, the “shabby chic” ness was totally not the case.

At first glance it doesn’t look exciting but it’s amazing small hotel in a great walking district of Buenos atirs. You feel transported to a different era. Lots of lounges and comfy seats. Very pleasant staff … helpful. Bed was comfy.
