A wonderful blend of new and retro makes Baucis charming and unique.
The staff are courteous and helpful.
Definitely worth a visit...!

We got the budget room - and even though it was up two flights of stairs and with the toilet basically out in the open and with a shower that consistently flooded the room - I still recommend Bacuis for anyone on a budget. The staff workers are tremendously gracious (internet and breakfast were not included in our rate, but they gave both to us for free anyways), they give a cash discount and the price is only slightly higher than the private rooms at local hostels. And that is the issue, the location, Palermo Hollywood, where all the rooms are pricey. The location is trendy with lots of restaurant and bars, and for those looking to stay in PH, the budget rooms at Baucis are easily your best value.

Also, I saw two people check in with a Groupon special, so keep an eye out. And one last note - when we packed to leave, my girlfriend couldn't find an expensive make-up item and we searched everywhere (and not an item we'd take out the room). We probably lost it somehow and we don't suspect foul play from the cleaning ladies (who were great), but just a reminder to keep more expensive items secure in all hotels.

After 6 weeks of traveling Argentina solo, my boyfriend was supposed to meet me for a very romantic 5 days in Buenos Aires together. Unfortunately, the volcano in Chile had other plans, and my boyfriend never made it to BA, which I found out the morning we were to check in to the hotel. We had booked the best suite in the hotel, Deluxe Suite 5, and now I was stuck with an exorbitant bill since it was too late to cancel our reservation. The owner DID let me change rooms and downgrade to a not-nearly-as-fancy Suite 1, which saved me quite a bit of cash. After the chaos of the first day, I was able to relax and thoroughly enjoy myself and my stay. The rooms are comfortable, and the jacuzzi was a nice way to slip into relaxation. The location is great if you are looking for a trendy, hip (expensive) part of town.

The best part of this hotel is the service. The front desk staff is knowledgeable, kind, and helpful with helping to navigate the bohemoth that is BA. And after my stay, I had a 5 day trip planned to Iguazú and Patricia allowed me to leave a suitcase the whole time I was away. That saved me a lot of hassle, since I already had a large backpack and a smaller backpack to contend with. (My boyfriend was supposed to take the suitcase back to the States with him, but again... the volcano in Chile had other plans.

The negatives: The floor of my room was dirty, after walking around barefoot for 2 minutes, my feet were black. I know the wood is probably hard to clean, but I'm pretty sure it had been a long time since a mop had been passed over it. As for the cancellation policy, I think they were too strict. I tried to negotiate with the owner and offered to stay one or two out of the 4 nights that were booked and then move to a more reasonable place. My boyfriend was supposed to pay for the hotel, and I really couldn't afford it. (I was on a hostel budget.) I understand the policy, I just felt that she could have been a little more understanding.

All in all, I would say this is a nice place to stay, the staff is wonderful. It is a little pricey, and you need to leave the area if you want to find a reasonably priced restaurant. Again, I was on a hostel budget and was not expecting to foot the bill, so I might be a little biased on the price.

Not a hotel for the sterile chain hotel loving tourist l, but a characterful genuine boutique (unlike so many who claim that title) on the edge of Palermo, the most stylish part of Buenos Aires. The room was large, nicy furnished (including a large comfortable bed) with a clean bathroom featuring a jacuzzi bath. No problem with security as the front door is always locked and it's a decent area anyway. Only negative complaints were the reluctance to take payment by card and a slight lack lustre breakfast. But in all, highly recommended if this is your type of hotel. We only moved after 3 nights as our budget was stretched.
