This place is super friendly and is in a good location in Palermo beacause it is away from the noise but still close to walk to the main square for the markets, drinks and food. The staff all speak very good English, which may be useful at the beginning of a trip in Argentina when your Spanish is sketchy. We... more

I spent my last night in Buenos Aires here. I'd spent the previous night on a 23-hour bus ride from Puerto Iguazu, so I just wanted a nice reception and a hot shower. I chose the least expensive room at US $70; it was small but fine and had its own bathroom. But the toilet didn't flush correctly, so when... more

Let's be very clear here--this is not a hotel but a hostel . If we had realised this, perhaps we wouldn't have been so annoyed. Tiny room with double bed and nothing else except a shabby wardrobe--we had to ask for a chair. We also had to ask for a towel and soap for the shower opposite our room (okay... more

1/1 found this review helpful

We just recently stayed here for 2 nights. We found hotel through Lonely Planet who is usually spot on when it comes to their description of hotels. The staff was very nice and friendly but the hotel does make itself out to be more than it is. After viewing the pictures on the hotel website, I thought it was going... more

We booked for 5 nights after reading reviews, we were after somewhere trendy to stay that is halfway between hostel and hotel to meet people, but not sacrifice comfort. Costa Rica lived up to this in some ways, but lacked in others. We booked into the "Deluxe room", their top priced category as it was the only one left with... more

Yes, the lobby is hip. Great music, great decor, great staff, great location. But the rooms leave a LOT to be desired. Our floor was dirty, the bare concrete bathroom counter looked like heck, and we got to listen to others guests all night as they came and went. We had room number 10. It was one of the loudest... more

Costa Rica is clearly trying to be a hip hotel in a hip area (Palermo). Unfortunately, it's a bit too hip for its own good. If I was someone who was out clubbing until 10am and needed a room to sleep (and that's it), I would be OK with this place. As someone who wants a bit more in their... more

Yann_BuenosAires, Owner

I truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to participate on build Hotel Costa Rica reputation. Good and bad critics are always accepted, both help us to make Hotel Costa Rica a better place. It is almost impossible to have people 100% satisfied,even though when charm is an esential part of our deal. Hotel Costa Rica has its own standards,...
