Malabia House has much to recommend it, but I believe its greatest asset is the staff - they are simply the greatest. To say that they are friendly is an understatement - we feel that they actually became our friends. And they were not just helpful - they made us feel comfortable and truly "at home," and when you're traveling, there's nothing more valuable than that.

As a small example, we often came home from dinner fairly late, when the front desk was manned by Marius (Taflan) or sometimes Martin - and as we got to know them, we would find ourselves asking more and more questions, not just about what to do in Buenos Aires, but about how to say certain things in Spanish, or what wines to drink, or about the culture in Buenos Aires and Argentina, or just about whatever experiences we had encountered that day. They were always extremely friendly, patient, and happy to provide all the answers, always with great insight and a greater sense of humor. It got to the point where we began looking forward to these sessions and compiling lists of questions during the day to ask that night! These encounters remain today as one of our great memories of the trip.

In short, for us, meeting people is one of the greatest pleasures of travel, and you certainly won't meet lovelier people than the staff at Malabia House.

I used Trip Advisor to look for a suitable hotel in BA and the reviews for 1555 Malabia House looked good. We weren't disappointed!
The transfer guy was there at the airport with our name board - a relatively quick trip had us arriving at the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and literally bent over backwards to help us (heavy suitcases!). A relaxed check in with soft drinks in the lounge. The room was minimalist but with some little extras. I was a little hesitant to book as some rooms don't have ensuite facilities but as we contacted the hotel direct we reserved our actual room - you can see them on the website. Be warned, only a few rooms have outside windows. Most look into the beautiful interior courtyard, but the walls are thin!
The loaction is superb if you like the more relaxed side of BA - good restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. The streets surrounding the hotel are quiet and have some good shops.
If you're looking for a peaceful haven in noisy BA then stay here. It's only a taxi ride away from the hustle and bustle!

I agreed with all of the reviews here. The hotel is charming, the staff is friendly and the location is excellent!!

My fiance and i were attending a wedding in Buenos Aires so we had late night and we needed to lie in the mornings. We were unfortunately not able to do that since the housekeeping staff was up at 6am turning around rooms and getting breakfast ready.

the noise carried up the marble stairwells and throughout the interior of the hotel

For those of you who are early risers this should not stop you from staying here. But for those of you that need some rest in the mornings you should think twice.

Overall rooms are cute. Rooms are a decent size and comfortable. Bathrooms are small but clean and have lots of natural light.

Breakfast has no time limit and is made to order (my favorite bit about the hotel; )

We enjoyed our visit to 1555 Malabia for our first visit to Buenos Aires. Since we were traveling to Patagonia for five days, we booked our reservation for the front and back end of our trip. The hotel was very accommodating to meet our needs. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and wonderful. The rooms were ample and comfortable. The only problem was noise, but we are light sleepers. We went to sleep between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m., and were awakened by staff preparing for breakfast starting at 7:00 a.m. or housecleaning wiping down floors or guests dashing from their rooms to the bathrooms or to breakfast. These are minor inconveniences and would certainly not affect staying at 1555 Malabia.

Overall, the experience was wonderful. The hotel is charming and comfortable, and the location is perfect in Palermo near shops and excellent restaurants. We became quite fond of the staff. We highly recommend 1555 Malabia and would visit again.
