The location of this hotel is ideal! We loved being within walking distance of so many area attractions, restaurants and shopping. The building is interesting and artistic, very trendy. There are no exterior windows, which is a bit unnerving, but manageable.

Many, many options for restaurants and shops within a short walk. There is a subway entrance literally 20 steps from the front door. The Obelisk is nearby, too. Great location. The real star is the front desk staff. They were so very help with luggage storage. Great stay.

Right downtown, not far from the big Av 9 de Julio obelisk. Mini-markets, restaurants, cafes, cambios a conveniently short walk away. If you like 1890’s architecture, clean and extremely well maintained, basic but classy you’ll love this place. Very Buenos Aires!

Good: Service, location (near main sites, great public transportation), unique architecture, cleanliness, good value for money, toiletries. Bad: If you have mobility problems then the room design (with stairs) may not be for you, cannot self-control room temp. Overall - Recommended as long as you are aware of it's weak points.

Had a great time here. Good English spoken by hotel staff and very friendly. Close to obilisco and subway station directly out front. I would definitely stay again.
Spider man, he’s great 😂 little bit of fun that is usual in the city at night
One of the best parilllas I’ve been to. No nonsense and absolutely fantastic. La estancia on lavalle. Not far from hotel

Almost perfect
It was a great stay, awesome location, just a few steps from the subte (the subway) and many landscapes a quick ride or bus away. Raúl at the front desk was amazing and super helpful. The only bummer was that there was no breakfast as stated on the listing.

You get what you pay for.
Location was great - central to everything. The hotel is beautifully restored. Just be prepared if you pick the lowest priced room: our bedroom was up a flight of narrow stairs with the bathroom downstairs and no seating on first floor. Not ideal if you’re planning on killing a few bottles of very affordable Malbec every night. The staff were very helpful and courteous!

Avoid this hotel
Excrement on the outside of the toilet. We were moved rooms 3 times in 24 hours. Appalling reception staff and the manager was not there at any point for us to speak to. Stained bedding also.

Like the place for breakfast big and luminate and full of ancient things.. Prefer the room the second stay , was bigger and bed was upstairs. Same price but maybe less people.. was weekdays and absolutely no noises. Dark so we slept well. They kept luggage while we went to Iguazu falls but doesn’t feel it was so secure... not closed area and locked.. but no issues when we came back! Well situated... near lot of places walking. Loved it

Hell Week
This was hell week. It could be a great hotel but is is no sound proof. It is sol loud at night with traffic whether the windows are closed or not. AC not working, bed was rock hard, bathroom door had a hole in it and now it comes. You can hear every step the guest above you is making. We had a guest above us whom was very active between 10 om and 5 am. We literally had no sleep during this week. Great location but a nightmare stay. Staff did nothing to calm the guest above us down. Can not recommend at all.

It's in a perfect location being right between the Plaza de Mayo and the Capitol and has a aubway stop right outside. The room was great and had a balcony and was two levels (which i enjoyed but might not be great for elderly or disabled). The inside was historic with a historical working elevator. The only downfalls at all were the wifi was spotty at times and the staff didnt speak much English.

Great location and nice hotel.
It was a great stay. The location is incredible, minutes away from main attractions. The hotel’s old French decor style is amazing, the rooms are well equipped with the basics and are clean. I would have given this hotel a better rating, but the internet offered was weak, to the point of being non existent on our last day. Other than that, everything else was perfect.

Extraordinary property with unusual and charming style, decor, and architecture. Rustic and carefully curated 20th Century reception/cafe/lounge. Beautiful woodwork, exposed brick, very clever and practical use of space in public areas and in the room. Very special and unique in a great location.
