“The hotel is in the charming San Telmo district, full of artsy, gritty energy—cobblestone streets, graffiti, and unique architecture. It's a perfect base for exploring the city.”

7.5Verified guest

“The hotel sits in a busy, thriving part of the city, just a short walk from the central area—about 15 minutes from Casa Rosada and the shops on Florida. Cabs are easy to flag down for a few pesos. The hotel itself has interesting decor, a relaxing open courtyard, a bar, and plenty of books and newspapers, plus free Wi-Fi. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always available without being intrusive. Breakfast is large and varied, and complimentary tea and coffee are offered generously. We enjoyed three separate stays here, using it as a base for trips to the south and west of Argentina, and the hotel stored our luggage between visits—one of many nice gestures.”

“A small boutique hotel in the San Telmo neighborhood. It's an easy walk to Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada, and a few blocks to Puerto Madero, where you can stroll along the canal. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi and a Mac for guests. The staff are courteous, helpful, and speak good English. Beds and pillows are very comfortable, though the flat-screen TV has no English channels.
