“Peaceful oasis in bustling Buenos Aires”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

In short: we loved it. From the location in trendy Palermo Hollywood to the ever helpful and cordial staff, everything about this hotel works. It is a true boutique hotel, making you feel like you are not just another guest.
The hotel is generally really clean, looks new and attention was paid to all the small details when it was designed. The rooms are perfect in size and offer relaxing views of the garden (preferable) or of the street.
Sitting in the breakfast area is a relaxing experience in itself, with soothing music playing and the sound of water running down one of the walls in the lobby. The breakfast itself was ample, with lots of healthy but tasty items to choose from. Don't go here if you expect bacon and eggs or waffles, though.
Only minus: upon arrival we noticed that the bathroom could have been cleaned a little bit more thoroughly.

Room Tip: Pick the garden side.

“Very Good-”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

A truly boutique hotel. The hotel has a limited amount of rooms, (only some 20 rooms).
The rooms are very well apointed and spacious, aong the best in Buenos Aires. The bathroom is very nice also. It is placed on an excellent location in Palermo. The only fault is that the service was a bit cold for such an intimate hotel.

“Thumbs up! Great hotel in Palermo.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed 1 night at this hotel. The hotel was clean and quiet. The room was spacious and and bright as well as the bathroom. The only downside was that the room faced the front main street and we stayed there on a Saturday night which turned out to be quite noisey. Apparently weekends nights in Palermo are loud and many are out and about. But putting that aside, it was a great experience. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: Pick a room that doesn't face the main street.

Residing in this Hotel in Palermo, Soho was a great experience, very friednly staff and as they don't have a business center to check your mail, they provide you with a laptop during your stay!

“Stylish, contemporary hotel with great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2011

Ilum is good, small hotel, beautifully designed in a good neighbourhood. Service is exceptional (my partner was unwell and the staff were really good), and the beds are very plush and comfortable. Good breakfast, and a lovely sauna/jacuzzi on the rooftop.

Slight peevs: check out time is given as 10am, which seems a little early for this kind of hotel, although they did happily let us stay a bit later to pack up. Also, there was more noise here from clubs and bars closing at 4-5am than at nearby Home hotel, although it wasn't a huge problem.
