Hippie, sort of homey, detached and do-watcha-wanna place. Very informal. Someone even told me that this hotel is not even registered as one, so no permit to operate, no license, no nothing. Besides that lack of responsability, the owner John is an opinionated person who has always a funny comment to make about his other guests. Breakfast is always irregular,... more

We just arrived back from 2 night stay and would highly recommend this B&B in artsy/bohemian San Telmo. The B&B itself is ultra modern with beautiful art and furnishings. It was super clean. The owner John is a true gentleman, willing to provide advice on local restaurants and keen to serve up a nutricious breakfast each day - scambled eggs,... more

Rick and his younger brother Louis were very welcoming. Henry is obviously the brains behind the operation and the girls, Toot and Carmen, provide eye candy. If you don't like animals this is not the place for you. Rick is a delightful German pointer and Louis his younger counterpart. Henry is a rescue cat from La Boca and Toot and... more

Absolutely loved it!! We are so ready to go back. Rick's Place is a winner in so many ways. Our room -- the one you see on the website-- was just right. It was just off the main room but with the a/c running, we never heard a thing. As an inside room, we were spared the noise from the... more

Yes,there is steep staircase. Yes,there are pot holes in the road outside in the process of repair. Yes, there is the lovely dog Rick and a brother dog due soon! Yes, there are three charming cats! But there is no doubt in my mind that this is the finest choice in San Telmo. The rooms,all ensuite with full bathrooms, are... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rick's Place while in BA. We communicated directly with the manager prior to arrival, and Lee was very helpful, arranging an English-speaking taxi driver to pick us up, reserving a tango show for us. John was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay and they stored our stuff while we took a one night... more

Just a warning to traveler's that Rick's Place also rents out apartments in La Boca. We thought that we were staying and reserved a space at Rick's Place so after a 10 hour plane ride, we got there just to be driven to an apartment in La Boca (a not so safe neighborhood in Buenos Aires). They were nice about... more

Having stayed for 4 nights at Rick's Place last week, I was saddened to read the recent person's experience regarding the storage locker and I would hope that this does not put anybody off this unique place. Our experience of staff did not match as they were very helpful and polite to us. If you want a conventional hotel then... more

Rick's Place offers all the confort of a good hotel, but so much moren on top of that! Lee, the manager, is very helpful and friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The breakfast is yummie with cheese, eggs, fresh juice, nice bread, muffins, you name it. It's one big table where everybody eats, which we... more
