“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

person found this review helpful

The people who run the guest house are most helpful with anything you might need and information on the city. Breakfast is served in the former family dining room. Not a North American breakfast, but rather bread of some kind, coffee, tea, fruit, jam. Once in a while you're offered an egg. Remember, you're in South America people.
The room was somewhat sparse but most adequate, extremely clean and quiet.
Location is superb in a posh neighborhood with great restaurants close by. I walked the whole city even though public transportation is very close by.
Loved this place!

Room Tip: I was told by another guest that the first floor rooms were a little noisy.

“Good Location. Friendly People.”

We enjoyed our first nights in B.A. at the Recoleta Guest House. The people were very nice; they even arranged to have a wine tasting session in the dining room for us. The Guest House is within walking distance of many nice shops, restaurants, and sights. We were able to use their computer to book our bus to Bariloche. Overall, this was a great place to stay.

Room Tip: Request a room not on the main street.

My daughter and I recently stayed at the Recoleta Guest House. The central location was perfect for Buenos Aires sight seeing. Nearby restaurants were wonderful! The breakfast was very generous and tasty. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Finally, the rates were remarkable; this was a great place to stay!

“Terrific ambiance and location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

Three old gal pals traveling together were lucky enough to find this fabulous bed and breakfast. The location was perfect for walking to city destinations in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. The breakfast was delicioius! Be sure to ask Alejandro for his corn pie receipe. We will certainly return.

“Warm, friendly family run B&B in safe and central location”

We stayed at the Recoleta guest-house at the beginning and end of our 3 week Argentina trip and enjoyed our stay tremendously; waking up to the small of freshly baked bread, accompanied by home produced jam for breakfast, how special is that!! As other reviewers mentioned, the owners and staff are very attentive and take great care to make your stay enjoyable. They provided maps, advice, helped to top up our local phone sim (I don't speak Spanish), and provided local restaurant recommendations, which we enjoyed very much.

Free internet service is provided ( a PC as well as WIFI), both rooms were spacious, clean and functional. There was enough wardrobe space for two, air con, a safe in every room, a telly, as well as mosquito repellents. The bathrooms are basic (if a bit tired) but clean and functional with hot water in the morning and evening, plus a bidet..

It's walking distance to the famous Recolate Cemetery (where Evita Peron rests), the craft market (on Sundays), and Plaza Naciones Unidas (with the huge metal flower sculpture by Eduardo Catalo, that opens closes its petals with the sun).

I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone; its an absolute gem and extremely good value for money.
