Expert reviews
“A huge makeover converted this art nouveau former sewing machine factory in Monserrat into a 59-room hotel – Palacio Barolo is two doors down. Head to the terrace for a cityscape of domes and spires.”

Nice hotel, great location
Location and atmosphere
The 5th floor smelled of perfumey chemicals

Lovely old building, centrally located and which lives up to its tango heritage.
Lovely restored building in the center of Buenos Aires, with helpful staff and extraordinary views over the rooftops nearby. The rooms are spacious and well decorated, keeping to the tango theme.
The menu in the restaurant is somewhat unimaginative.

Elegant boutique Hotel in the perfect location for sightseeing
This hotel is a lovely boutique hotel, inside of a historic singers sewing company building. The location is perfect for walking around and sightseeing. There is a small market and a money exchange across the street. The staff were very accommodating, the rooftop bar has great views, and the food in the restaurant is very good.

Not exceptional, but very good. Good value for money.
Good location. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast. We arrived at 10 o’clock and became the room at 10:30 – which is 3 1/2 hours before official check in. That was very helpful.

A great place to stay for a few days in Buenos Aires
The staff at Tango de Mayo were brilliant, breakfast was very nice and the cleanliness was excellent. The location was really good and it was easy to walk to various landmarks and points of interest. Felt safe also walking at night. The roof top bar was also a highlight.
Our room was very clean but a bit tired- wall paper was peeling a bit from the corners and there was a small chunk out of the wall where someone must have hit it with a suitcase. It was also much smaller than we were expecting.

This was our go to hotel for dropping in and out of Buenos Aires while we travelled around Argentina.
Staff were super helpful and we were able to leave our luggage there free of charge in between stays, which made travelling around the country much easier.
The coffee at breakfast was pretty bad.
24 February 2025

Restaurant is not open at night. Also no coffee maker in the room. Coffee is available in the lobby, but it is not convenient to bring to the room.

Wonderful stay in classic old-world style with super helpful staff.
The staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs. Coordination of taxis was excellent and luggage storage was very much appreciated.
7 February 2025
Great location, old fashion, clean and good services, and decent price
It’s clean and convenient to access major interesting points. It provides free luggage storage service for guest, which was a plus amenity for us since we traveled to Iguazu and leaving our luggage’s in the hotel for a few days and then came to stay a couple a days again.
Travelers ought understand that it is an old building ant not everything was convenient for modern style. For example, there are few power outlets. I have to unplugged the lamps, and the outlets are located in somewhere quite awkward to reach.

IF EVER IN BUENOS AIRES AGAIN, I WOULD DEFINATELY STAY THERE AGAIN.

Fabulous stylish hotel.
Really lovely historical building. In a great central location. We really enjoyed walking around the Congress square in the evening.The roof top bar has a wonderful atmosphere and the bar staff are friendly and professional. Staff on reception helpful, friendly and professional. A big thank you to Franco who was so helpful and friendly.
We liked everything. We stayed twice at the hotel . During our first stay we had problems with noise from the street below. This isn't the hotels fault and staff told us it was an exceptionally noisy night. This was a Thursday night and was probably bad luck. The hotel took this on board and for our second stay gave us an interior room on a higher floor. We slept very well.

Perfect location and great value. A lovely hotel I highly recommend.
Perfect location. A lovely hotel to stay in downtown Buenos Aires. The staff were very attentive and the breakfast and rooftop bar are a great convenience.

Great place to stay in Buenos Aires!
Breakfast was amazing as well as our overall stay. It is an old building but everything inside is in very good condition. They maintain the interior and it looks really stunning. We spent New Year's Eve here and it definitely contributed a lot to the positive memories of this day
nothing to be honest, everything was great.
28 January 2025
Lovely hotel with very good staff.
Fun decor in comfy rooms. Large bathroom. Accommodating and very nice staff.
Breakfast could use a bit of improvement but we were able to find enough food that tasted good.

Beautiful representation of the old glamorous Buenos Aires. We would stay again for sure!
The old classic beautiful building the staff all over the hotel the cleaning, the details in the bathroom the beautiful clean carpets and nice smell and the tango music at the breakfast!
In the bathroom although so beautiful and clean the air extractor didn’t work causing too much humidity in the room

Very good
Room was comfortable, AC worked well and overall the facilities were good. The staff were exceptionally friendly - especially Marisol at breakfast.
Could have a few more options for breakfast and I'm not a fan of undercooked scrambled eggs. No coffee and tea pot in the room.

Wonderful stay in a classic hotel.
The hotel was beautiful, with lovely Art Deco decorations and there were lots of little touches, like handpainted tissue boxes, etc..The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good. It is in a great location, and it was easy to walk to many points of interest.
23 January 2025
Old charm in a good hotel for the price. Good breakfast included.
Nice hotel with an ArtDeco vibe, old with new touches. The breakfast served in a very nice saloon, was good, but not exceptional. Rooms were big and comfortable, but TV service was only Argentinian channels, the WiFi was not bad, but not really good.
There was no parking space for pick-up/drop off available, you have to wait for your car/taxi/uber in the street.
22 January 2025
Charming place, fantastic room, poor breakfast
it is a charming place, very well located, with an very confortable also charming, cinema like room,
Breakfast is very limited. We asked for fried eggs (they have scrumbled egg on the buffet) and they wanted to charge USD10. Very bad.

Centrally located quaint hotel
Location - very walkable to various interest points; friendliness of staff; good services.
The fitness center could be improved; but not a deal breaker. It has two treadmills and one stationary bike. A few dumbbells. Bring your own workout DVDs to augment the equipment.
