“Good Value in an Expensive City”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Lola House is a nice small hotel made from an old colonial home in Buenos Aires. It is in the Boedo Barrio, two blocks from the subway station (Boedo). It takes about 15 min. to get to the main part of the city on the subway and about 40 Argentinian pesos by taxi. The hotel is completely secure since you are are admitted and exit the hotel by staff unlocking the front door. The rooms have high ceilings in the colonial style (which helps in warm weather). The beds are very comfortable (king is the size of two twins). There is an overhead fan and the AC works very well. The room's bathroom had a shower and good lighting, which is hard to come by in some hotels. The staff was truly exceptional. Two young women, Andrea and Clara, tell you everything about touring the city with maps, brochures, tips and advice about restaurants, etc. They are both very good English speakers. They told us of a really good place for a casual dinner and drinks which had outdoor seating (Pan y Arte); they recommended the meat empanadas, which did not disappoint. They arranged for a car service which met us at the airport upon arrival and took us to the airport when we left. All the hotel staff was the best for us.

“Conflicted Opinion”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

I am conflicted with presenting my negative opinion, because the young man that was working on November 3rd and 4th was so friendly and helpful. I had cash and my credit card lost/stolen in the city, and he was so incredibly helpful to me. The location is not the best, but I think okay during the day, you would want a cab at night. This place has such potential and some pretty tile work....however I found it to be not very clean. I do not think anyone dusts, but my bigger problem is that the linens are not clean...I had to remove several hairs from the bedding...and that is just too upsetting.

“Staying as a neighbourhood inhabitant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 13, 2012

Lola House is a nice place to stay outside touristic area . After some day you feel home in Boedo barrio with small shops and cafes of a normal day life. Rooms are old style . The patio with tiles is nice . Service is very good . Just 5mn walk there is a cafe for tango shows mainly for Buenos Aires inhabitants

“Still Fabulous...... after two years away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

My initial review of Lola House was two years ago and so I was nervous to see if the same high standards had remained! I had no need to worry, Anthea and Carla are as professional and gorgeous, on reception as is possible. Arturo is charming and all the staff are efficient and friendly. Our visit was just like going home. Unfortunately, we arrived after a 4 hour bus journey to realise we had left all our valuables locked in the hotel safe...Anthea sprung to our rescue, contacting the hotel, trying to get friends to deliver it more cheaply than the courier and also getting Mum to bring us cash to pay the courier - truly above and beyond the call of duty! Where do you get service like that!! Eventually, everything was delivered at 11pm that night safe and sound.
Different room this visit with comfy bed, clean and ample sized room and shower room, our friends had what could have been an adjoining room slightly smaller bedroom with shower.Just perfect. We sat in the courtyard and chatted. Breakfast was continental with juice, fresh fruit, yoghurt, eggs and ham and cheese jaffles all that was needed. This visit we had time to wander more closely the Boedo area, it is residential, safe and interesting with nearby cafes and eating places. Plus only 20 minutes drive to airport (early). We really enjoyed it plus the metro line from here is much safer and less targeted than the more touristic lines. Thanks Lola House!!!!!

Room Tip: Most rooms are off street.

“Excellent Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

Lola House lived up to the previous positive reviews by fellow travelers to BA. We had a 6 night stay beginning on Sept. 21, 2012. with a two day one night trip to Iquazu Falls and another 2 day one night trip to Uruaguay. (Total trip was 10 full days as the flights from USA were overnight). The staff, Max, Andrea and Clara were outstanding and helpful in everyway. They offered great resturant tips and subway advice. The room was clean and colorful with AC and heat.We felt very safe as Lola House has a good security system The location in the Boedo section is great for using the subway and walking to good local resturants and supermarkets. We were two women with considerable traveling experience so we were mindful of our surrounding so had no problems at all for the entire trip. Breakfast was quite good. I would not hesitate to recommend Lola House to anyone who enjoys safe clean and cute hotels in local neighborhoods.
