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.”

Fabulous
Good, central location. Charming hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely rooftop bar!
It would have been helpful to have another bench and more surfaces to hold our luggage, bags, etc. and additional shelving and hooks in the bathroom.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
13 January 2025
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.

Enjoyable stay.
Amazing value for money. Extremely comfortable beds! Lots of space, great breakfast, roof top bar is fab and the Staff are lovely. Would definitely stay here again.
Not much to say. We only stayed 1 night but have already booked again as we are moving about in Argentina for a month.

Enjoyable stay, good value for the money.
Good - not outstanding - breakfast. Excellent shower, but needed to regulate water pressure so that the water didn’t overflow onto the floor.

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.
