“Highly Recommend Hotel Babel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2012

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here in January. The hotel is located on one of the beautiful, old, colorful streets of San Telmo. As New Yorkers, we took the subway around the city, it's a nice 10 minute walk to the closest subway station. Everyone at the hotel was very friendly and gave us an amazing dinner recommendation that we never would have found on our own. And great advice for some shopping one day, too -- in both cases, great, local places. The hotel has a nice open air courtyard and comfortable lobby and bar. The room was very comfortable and the bathrooms is very well designed! I would highly recommend Hotel Babel.

“GREAT!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

My husband and I stayed at this place in January 2012. We had reservations at another hotel but we canceled them and reserved a room at this place instead. We could have not made a better decision. The front desk staff are some of the nicest people we have ever met at a hotel. The front desk staff is also there 24 hours so whatever you need they will help you. They also have a/c which comes in handy during the summer months and free wifi is also. Even after we checked out and went to another area in Buenos Aires they told us if we needed any help with anything we could come back and ask them. When we go back to Buenos Aires this will definitely be one of the places we stay.

“Unbeatable hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

On our honeymoon we found out our flight into Bariloche was cancelled at the airport. Frustrated we jumped on travel advisor to find a last minute hotel to spend an unexpected night in BA. Upon arrival, it was clear on my face I was a bit unhappy with our detoured plans but the hospitality and friendliness of this cozy hotel completely changed my attitude. We were offered a glass of wine at their quaint bar/lobby and were greeted by two gentlemen who were so incredibly kind. We were invited to see one of the guys play in his band and ended up having one of our favorite nights of our entire trip. In downtown BA we were the only Americans in this off the map authentic BA bar. Incredible company surrounded us in an environment filled with amazing music. This trip was over 4 months ago and we still talk about how much we loved the hotel.

Room Tip: All rooms are in a courtyard with amazing doors and stairs! There is no bad room!

“Great Location 2 blocks from the Sunday street fair”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Great service; Safe area; Dark rooms need additional wattage; excellent free breakfast; Reasonably priced. Airport pickup service was not good (contact was absent when our flight arrived).

Room Tip: Only 9 rooms total. All are about the same.

“Cosy place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012 via mobile

A small boutique hotel in an old historic suburb of Buenos Aires. The staff was very nice and friendly, you get a lot of advise of where to eat, where to go during your stay. If you like party, maybe you should stay in Palermo, if you want a nice cosy relaxing place, stay in this old surbur
