“Great Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2010

This hotel, in my opinion, has the best location in Buenos Aires. It's on a lovely street and is very close to nice shops, bars and restuarants.

I am surprised by some of the negative reviews on here regarding the rooms. Yes, our room was small and didn't have a window. But it had a nice set of doors that opened out onto a balcony so who cares if it doesn't have a window. It was clean, had a good TV and the bed was comfortable. Who goes to Buenos Aires to sit about in their room anyway!

I agree that the breakfast wasn't the best, but it was OK.

If you are looking for a hotel in a great location where you can get a decent nights sleep, but aren't going to spend all day in your room, then I would recommend the Blue Soho.

“Absolutaley not a boutique hotel, looks like an hostel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2010

We stayed in Blue Soho Hotel for 2 nights and we had a terrible experience. DO NOT DECIDE TO STAY IN THIS HOTEL BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURES. The pictures are far from reality, the hotel is mispresented.

The only good thing about this hotel is its location.

The room we stayed looks like a luggage room, converted to an hotel room. It is small and dark. Even though it is not specified before, the room provided to us does not have a window, you have to open the door to take some fresh air. Back to College life, rooms with open doors. The air conditioner available in the room does not work properly. So, keeping your door at night is a must to take some fresh air !!! Additionally, the flush of our room's toilet did not work as well.

I am also skeptical regarding the cleanliness of this hotel since we find a cockroach and some spiders in the room during our stay.

The quality of the breakfast is poor as well.

If you pay US$120 per night, you certainly deserve more services and better conditioned hotel rooms. It is very hard to make a positive comment about this hotel. Disappointment.

DO NOT GO THERE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY. There are plenty of other better options in Palermo/Soho area.

In response to this review, we would like to say that the pictures that we show in our website were taken from our rooms without any digital touch, so the guests can really aprecciate the rooms that they choose.
The building is an old beautiful house from the beginning of 20th century and some standard rooms has not exterior windows, but all the rooms are full of natural light because the doors are huge with glass window and all the interior of the hotel has natural light too.
Twice a month we fumigate and disinfect the whole hotel and the guests didn’t comment us anything during their stay.
Hostels are very different from the hotel , all the rooms has LCD television, dvd , air conditioner and heat ( and we make maintenance all the time) otherwise our level of service and attention to the guests can be compare with the highest standards.

“Perfect location - average service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2010

The hotel has an unbeatable location in the heart of Palermo Soho. All great restaurants / bars are close by. Coll people and fashion boutiques close. The hotel and rooms also look great at first glance. However, compared with other upscale B&Bs, hotels in this are, service might lack from time to time, and rooms can be a bit "humid,cold" in winter. Breakfast was only available from 9am when I was there. So its clearly no business hotel.

The big problem was the price we paid $110 for a room with no window. No elevator, no water glass, no soap dish in the shower.The staff were nice but you couldn't sell a hotel like this for $35 a night in the US.

“Forget everywhere else - stay here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2010

My partner and I stayed here for 10 days, and we loved every minute of it! The staff was just wonderful – Maricele, Luciano, and Nahuel were especially helpful and forgiving of our limited Spanish. Our room was on the lower level and, while a tad on the small side, was extremely quiet and comfortable. Very stylish, with great bedding, an awesome shower, and fresh flowers everyday. The breakfasts were likewise wonderful – they couldn’t wait to offer us fresh espresso, croissants, scrambled eggs and more every morning. And the location – smack in the middle of fashionable Palermo – really can’t be beaten. Shops and cafes all around. For coffee and dulce de leche, try La Salamandra just down the block. And for spicy Peruvian food, try Pozo Santo a few blocks away. -Ask Luciano for directions. Whenever we come back to Buenos Aires, we will make a point of staying here again.
