Sleepless and very disappointing
Grounds are pretty and location is excellent.
Hotel ignored my pre-booking request for a quiet room. Was assigned one of only a few street facing rooms which was exceedingly noisy. Totally disrupted sleep. For a “superior” room it was very small and basic and smelled musty. Breakfast was pretty basic.

Pleasant but basic. Great location though.
Clean room
Noisy cleaners early outside door. Staff on reception. One was lovely and chatty and friendly two didn’t even lift their heads most days until I had said good morning or good night. Room was clean but very basic. Saw better rooms online think was given the basic room as a lone traveller.

Great location but needing an urgent upgrade to rooms.
Location is the best thing going for it. Some staff members were very professional and friendly at the front desk. Not all though.
The breakfast was very poor compared to what similar level hotels offer in Buenos Aires. Our room was dated and run down. Bathrooms need an urgent upgrade as the old look has now got very old and deteriorated. It’s not what you see on their site.

Pleasant
Property is attractive. Nice gardens. Convenient location in Palermo but quiet at night. Breakfast daily
Room is tiny but the cost is about $150 usd per night. WiFi did not work in room 4. The room was not super clean.

Fantastic location and beautiful private garden.
After booking the suite, the room was not as per the pictures. With a much smaller terrace and different furnishings. Run down, terrible breakfast.

Everything was great. Friendly and helpful in all aspects during my stay. Nothing was a problem, with personalised attention when I asked. The hotel location also convenient to shops, restaurants parks plus the tourist bus hop on and off. Thank you all the hotel staff for a my stay with a healthy breakfast to start the day. Great coffee.

Very good
We loved the neighborhood and the quaintness of the building. The pool is very nice. The breakfast is good. Bed is comfy and the room was very spacious.
It was just strange that the host made a big deal about our balcony and how great it was…and then we find out that we actually couldn’t use the balcony. We also asked to use their microwave for leftovers and they refused. Just 2 really odd things.

Oasis in the middle of the city
The hotel is a European style boutique hotel with a lovely green space and pool. Very good bed and shower. The staff is extremely accommodating. They held our luggage for a late flight and allowed us to use the common facilities. Restaurant recommendations were excellent.

Not good value for money
The location was very good. The breakfast was good. Staff were friendly. The payment was taken a very long time in advance and this made it expensive as we were unable to pay in Pesos using the blue dollar rate so it was not good value for money
It was in need of a refurbishment, it was shabby.

Staff was very nice, in particola Julieta
Breakfast was 4 days the same
17 November 2023
too small
the personnel is very friendly.
It was very strange that there is a pool which when getting there is not in use. I chose this hotel for the pool and garden and the price is therefore not in relation to the expectations.

Excellent accommodating staff, cute clean hotel with nice cafe, garden, and breakfast
Quaint, personal, nice cafe and garden, clean, cute, comfortable, just what we needed
Room was small, a bit crowded for 2 people and their large bags, could have used a mirror in the living space outside of the bathroom to increase efficiency with getting ready.

A most enjoyable, relaxing week in Buenos Aires
The location brought home the joys of solitude and relaxation. The room was cleaned daily with fresh towels and bathroom accessories. Breakfast selection (hot and cold cuts) freaks have and in good supply

A one off
Pleasant , helpful staff. Pretty garden.
IMO overpriced for the quality of product on offer : very old and poorly designed bathroom, poorly insulated bedroom room , too much noise from both the street and other rooms ( ie: neighbouring room’s alarm clock clearly audible from 4.30am at 15 minute intervals! ) , 1970’s style breakfast - ie: precooked scrambled eggs in a tray, nothing fresh to order , terrible coffee , the basics could have been done so well with a bakery literally over the road , cups that don’t match / sit in their saucers so drink spills everywhere. Small details everywhere which could be forgiven but at the room rate charged expectations are higher . Not terrible but wouldn’t re-book or recommend is the truth. Pity as I was looking for somewhere to stay on a regular basis when visiting family studying in Buenos Aires. Nx

Charming place in a quaint location
Great location, spacious rooms, friendly staff and a nice garden. Breakfast is good but there are also many great cafes nearby which we quite enjoyed - one just opposite. It’s also well located in walking distance to some of the best restaurants.

Everything went very well and the hotel is extremely well located in Palermo Hollywood.
The only note to make on this hotel is that they are invoicing you in USD. After some discussion with the hotel staff however, they changed the invoicing to pesos as we were in Argentina.

Very good
Lovely staff and courtyard. Garden room with balcony very nice. Great location. Booking and communication with staff excellent. Very helpful.
All rooms need more trash receptacles. A/C not up to par and the two story suite didn't have hot water. No lift to suite but staff willing to carry heavy bags up iron circular steps. Lighting and air circulation in bathrooms not good.

Overall - good
The staff were exceptionally friendly and very helpful with arranging a taxi to the airport as well as allowing us use of the pool and breakfast area until we needed to depart. The hotel is off the street and very quiet in spite of the nearby nightclubs. The breakfast offerings were excellent.
The bathroom is worn and the shower grout is moldy.

Besviken
They didnt open for us in the night and the card to the hotel didnt work so we had to find another place to stay in the middle of the night. We talked to the reception and they couldnt explain why this happended and they couldnt pay us back for the night we didnt selpt there. They promised to get us a night for free, and now when i tried to reach out to them they dont answer. So we paid for a night we couldnt use. So bad!!! Not okey. But the hotel was beuatiful, so we are sad this happened.

Excellent location - walkable
The location was excellent, the hotel was "fine", but old and dirty. The linens were good, but the furniture was borderline unacceptable. Most item were worn out and stained. A good decorator could work wonders...it doesn't need much. Just desperate for refreshing the rooms and property. Staff was accommodating and helpful.
Worn out furniture, rooms and bathrooms.

amazing. definitely be back, hopefully with a softer mattress
Loved the whole ambience of the place. The staff couldn’t be happier to assist with any requests.
Not in anybody’s Control, but the beds were a little firm for my liking. my nights sleep wasn’t great due to discomfort

great location and staff … needs some money throw at the property

a true gem - would love to stay there again.
it’s a true gem. so quiet and comfortable. Clara on the front desk is exceptionally helpful - gave us lots of restaurant tips, adaptors for the room and a card to use on the metro. the garden and pool area are a true oasis. breakfast is super. security is also excellent.
the entrance is very low key but don’t let that put you off - once you enter you go into a different world.

This is a sweet and comfortable hotel with the kindest staff ever. Well worth a visit.
The staff were remarkably friendly and helpful. Garden and rooms were beautiful and comfortable with a lovely breakfast. Great location.
Just an FYI you need to check your room rate in peso's. The booking.com price was doubled when I got to the hotel. The staff were very accommodating and charged me the booking.com rate but it was stressful. Paying in cash is the best way to go if you use western union to send you money you will get 50% more than using a credit card.
