We stayed for 7 nights in che telmo and we're made to feel very welcome. Mario was a very pleasant host who recommended us a Spanish school which helped us communicate with mario's limited English and our limited Spanish. The hostel is clean including the shared bathrooms and most importantly the bedding. We had a double (the evita room) and the bed was comfy. The beds were made daily too which was a bonus.

The hostel is located 3 floors up but the walk helped us burn off a couple of mouthfulls of steak!! The hostel is quite dark as it is set back from the main street through a courtyard. The darkness was a good compromise as the location meant it was very quiet. The subte is located on the next street giving access to the whole city. There are a few options for eating, drinking, sightseeing and tango close by.

The kitchen had plenty of bits to use and a decent table to eat at. The breakfasts were typically Argentinian which consisted of a few pastries and tea or coffee. We wanted a bit more so bought our own cereal and fruit from the small supermarket next door.

Overall a pretty decent hostel.

We were so fortunate to stay at Che Telmo - travelling on a budget, it costs the same as a hostel double, but is infinitely superior. Comfortable, secure, large rooms with cable TV, excellent breakfast, clean bathrooms and a maximum of 8 guests at any one time make this B&B the best choice for those travelling on a budget, but wanting some peace and quiet in a good location.

Che Telmo was the perfect choice for my first trip to chaotic Buenos Aires. A cozy guesthouse in the busy San Telmo district, it provided a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, with clean rooms, free internet, comfortable sitting areas and more. Breakfast was light but always good.
And although owner Mario speaks little English, he was very helpful (with a hand from Google translate) in pointing me toward many of the citiy´s highlights.
As a home away from home or central headquarters for an Argentina vacation, Che Telmo certainly fit the bill. I will be back.

We loved this little guesthouse. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the city and near the subway, but still very quiet - we got no street noise at all. The owner, Mario, is so helpful and friendly and very keen to make sure his guests have everything they need. Breakfast is good - coffee, tea, toast and croissants, and freshly squeezed juice. Guests can cook in the kitchen and there is a nice lounge to relax in. Each room is themed as a different Argentinian icon, eg Evita, Maradona, Che Guevara and rooms are spacious and spotless. The guesthouse is in an apartment building so is very secure. The owners have made a real effort with this place. I'll definitely stay here again when I come back to BA one day.
