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

A decent place for a couple nights

A perfectly nice place to stay; but nothing special. The place seemed weirdly empty which felt strange. But the room was as shown though a bit less spacious and the staff were kind.

Beautiful property in an older building, and they have done an excellent job making this feel like a unique, artistic hotel. Bed was also comfortable, bathroom was clean, and staff were always present and friendly. Great upstairs terrrace and lots of areas to sit, work or just chill out. Very walkable area right out the door with good restaurants just a few blocks away.

The hotel has lots of character being a renovated antique home with very pleasant decor and rooftop sitting area. The staff super nice and friendly. The rooms very comfortable and an excellent safe neighborhood, walking distance to many dining and drinking options. The price was super good for what you get! I would stay there again. Loved the place all and all

Hidden gem in Palermo soho

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.

Good hotel, simple setting but with charm

The key question whether you like this hotel or not is whether you see the glass as half full or halv empty. It is a simple hotel, rooms are even more simpler, but everything was functioning well in the room and it was clean, but with ample “patina”. Breakfast is quite light. Regarding noise it is full transparency to the corridor so bring earplugs. Location is good and the staff is very friendly. Given the price I paid I was overall satisfied.

We liked it a lot!

Very bohemian spot. Great access to restaurants and markets. Best part of stay was going to local grocery and picking up beer and wine and going to roof top terrace where we socialized with other guests. Staff wonderful and set us up for a very early airport trip.
