“We loved it here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2010

Casa Bolivar is a great place to stay if you are looking for a bit of comfort, character and great hospitality.

Because we stayed for a week, we moved apartments halfway though (we had been made aware of this when we booked, as we had called quite late) but this was not a problem at all - and both apartments were really lovely - spacious and beautifully decorated. The location in San Telmo is great - just far enough away from the noise, but close enough to make it a pleasant walk in to the main plaza, with it's great bars, restaurants, market and shops.

The guys couldn't have been more helpful, and really went out of their way to make us feel welcome - even helping me find an English speaking dermatologist (that didn't cost a small fortune and I saw the same day).

If we come back to BA we would definitely stay here again.

“Beautiful appartments for any mood”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2010

For everybody there is a nice type of appartment. If your zen, tango or modern, pick the appartment of your choice. It is very nice if you want some privite time in your own space.
The hotel is located in San Talmo, and old neighborhood with a nice sqaire were people are dancing tango in the evening. For me this appartment was a great landing in Buenos Aires.

“Authentic Buenos Aires”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2010

A lovely boutique hotel. Beautiful, spacious loft apartment with balconies. Lots of thoughtful touches including complimentary internet, in-room snacks, bottled water, tea, coffee, olive oil, even salt and pepper. Safe and secure. They thoughtfully left us a bottle of champagne to help celebrate our honeymoon - even though we never told them! Only 5 minutes walk from Plaza Dorrego and the heart of San Telmo where simply everything goes on in BA. Generous breakfast which runs late for those who like to sleep in. A helpful hostess who speaks at least 3 languages. Transfer to the airport affordable and on-time. They offer several reasonably priced to organize tours, and we did a decent city tour. BA So much more than a chain hotel, very special indeed. We are definitely returning!

“unique experience awaits”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2009

although not your best budget option, the contemporary suite was very nice. the bed was comfortable (although be warned it is two twin mattresses pushed together to make a king), kitchen area clean, nice big windows, reception was super kind and the breakfast nice and ample. the neighborhood was nice, sleepy - however lots of bus noise. 25 minute walk to plaza de mayo and close to the san telmo market on sunday (a must).

“great place to stay - excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2009

Casa Bolivar is in the quiet part of San Telmo. Only a few blocks from the tourist street.
We stayed here twice, and received a warm and personal welcome and service.
Gabriel is a great guy !!
Wide range of rooms, try to avoid the oriental room, as only a patio window.
Highly recommendable place !
