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.”

A gem - our second stay in two months.
Reception staff and, especially breakfast and breakfast staff who were very welcoming, smiley and efficient. Metro station on the doorstep. Very close to parliament building and its square which is filled with locals in the evening. 20 minute walk, or 4 mins Metro or bus to Plaza Mayor. Decent restaurants and cafés in the same street. Currency exchange bureau 5-10 minutes' walk.
Nothing. The area has some rough sleepers, but they don't bother you and it felt safe to walk locally at night.

Overall good stay, but beware street noise
Big comfy room in nice tango style, AC, breakfast was ok, good location for sightseeing
Very noisy from the street (couldn't sleep without earplugs), breakfast could have more options

This wonderful hotel is full of character and the roof-top bar is THE place to eat or drink!!
Location is right in the heart of the historic road - Avenida de Mayo. The hotel is full of character and colour and the roof-top bar is fabulous!

The hotel is the perfect place for a short stay in the city with the location, amenities and safety, I would recommend
The location was great, full breakfast and roof top bar perfect for happy hour and snacks.
Room was a little small but very clean and had everything we needed.

Not much to say. We only stayed 1 night but have already booked again as we are moving about in Argentina for a month.

Buenos Aires is a fascinating city, so much history, full of beautiful buildings, reminiscent of Paris, with wide boulev
Absolutely loved this hotel. The decor was outstanding, tango-themed, very easy on the eyes! Our room was gorgeous,so spacious and comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff, from the front desk to the breakfast room were so friendly and extremely helpful. The location was convenient, walking distance to many places of interest and not too far by public transport, such as uber, to others. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop bar, with views of some of the most buildings in Buenos Aires, such as the Palacio Barolo. Highly recommend this hotel 👍👍

Charming, would stay again!
Room and hotel were absolutely charming! I loved the decor - it was so artistic and the colour schemes and decor were great. The breakfast was wonderful - there were a number of choices at the buffet, and lots of space to sit. It was very comfortable. Check-in was smooth as was check-out. Sad that I could only stay here a day (I tried to reserve for other days but - unsurprisingly - it was booked). I would stay again!
The bed could have been bigger - a queen would have been welcome. What I came to realise as I travelled in South America is that beds are small...so, nothing out of the ordinary, here.

Good value and location for daytime activities
The building is beautiful and centrally located for daytime activities.
Night time the area becomes a little unsafe and walking after dark is not advised. The breakfast needs to be looked at and updated very basic and tasteless

Very good
Very good location, to explore the city. The starting point for GreyLine Tourist Bus is just 5 minutes away, which is a big advantage. There are many small restaurants, super markets etc. around the hotel, which is a great advantage. The property itself is very well and lovingly renovated. Reception, lobby, restaurant and rooms are very nice. Being a property situated in the middle of the city of course offers no good view from the room, which is sad but understandable.
I would have been happy if the reception staff was more informed and interested in informing about how to explore the city better. In the past I have experienced many city hotels where the reception staff had may tips and also options to offer, which could be booked at the reception itself. Adding that facility would be great value addition. I also feel, the breakfast a bit mediocre and lac creativity, especially with the vegetarian options. They could add a lot of value for theirs guests here.

Charming, well located hotel with friendly staff.
Very good location. Close to metro and several bus lines. We also liked the staff. Very helpful and friendly. Almost everyone spoke some English what make things easier for us.
The rooftop bar was ether close for privet events or was no one to serve us a drinks. That was little disappointing as the bar has a beautiful view and would be nice to have a dinner there or even just a cocktail.

Very lovingly and beautiful, you renovate hotel property. Staff was friendly, excellent location.
I was a bit disappointed by the atmosphere in the breakfast restaurant and the hygiene in the breakfast restaurant. We found a stale bread on the breakfast buffet. The friendly attendant in the restaurant, kindly removed it as soon as we brought it to her notice. It would be better if they check it themselves.

Stylish hotel with lovely decorated rooms.
Location with ample restaurants, supermarket, banks etc nearby. Hop on Hop off bus stop, a short walk down the road. Felt safe in area. Caught Ubers everywhere, cheap.
Rooftop bar had potential but forgot half of our order. Noise from street level at night, re drunks coming and going but you're in the midst of a busy city. We were on level 3.

Well aquainted with the townn after this stay
Most things, only small things bad (but for a reason) example: windows not openable... probably due to criminality risk from street, breakfast very sweets-oriented... but that is the local style

Wonderfully unique stay at a beautiful and comfortable hotel.
The bed was super comfortable, I loved the tango theme and fun decor. The rooftop bar was delightful, food was very good. Best of all, the staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable nd. Location is very good. I highly recommend this hotel.
A minor thing, it would be nice to have an electric tea kettle in the room. It's not a deal-breaker because everything else was superb.
