“Great style, good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

We stayed for four nights and really enjoyed ourselves. I think the location is good - you are about three blocks from a very active and cool part of Palermo -- a great plaza with restaurants and shops around it. We walked for hours exploring the neighborhood near the hotel. Our room was simple and clean with incredibly high ceilings. My husband was a little bothered that the bathroom didn't have a door - just an archway - kind of hard to explain but it looked very cool and stylish. (I think other rooms may have doors.) We had a small balcony looking onto Costa Rica street, so it was noisy in the mornings (we were sleeping in), with the buses going by. But I loved the view, and the curtains were excellent for keeping out the light while we slept. The common areas of the hotel (lounge, bar, rooftop terrace) are very comfortable and inviting. The staff was gracious and kind. It was a very good value - we paid US $130 for the master room.

“Nice hotel if your only intention is to sleep there”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The room was very clean and staff is very helpful. Definitely the best part of the hotel. The location is not that good, because even though it is in Palermo it's in a street that does not have a lot of traffic so finding a cab, specially at night can be very difficult. The only downside of the hotel is the fact that it does not have a television and my room did not have a proper division between the bedroom and the bathroom. Also, if someone a little bit taller than usual passed thought my bathroom window he could definitely see me taking a bath.

“Great and stylish hotel close to Palermo soho with friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2011

We stayed for just over a week in this lovely hotel - a perfect start of our three month holiday in south America. The hotel is well located and close to Palermo soho with it's lovely restaurants and bars.

Overall the hotel is very stylish and our room was very clean. People might find the rooms a bit basic but it worked for us and we certainly enjoyed the big bathroom after we got upgraded after a week!

We also enjoyed the friendliness of both the owner and all staff. They were really helpfull, all spoke english and gave us plenty of restaurant and bar recommendations. We always felt like coming home after another day in busy buenos aires.

Oh - and let's not forget the lovely rooftop terrace. Perfect to chill out and reading a book in the sun.

Definitely worth a visit!

The hotel is located in one of the most interesting and up-and-coming districts of Buenos Aires with individual shops, restaurants and bars near by. We really enjoyed our stay and can recommand it.
