Though my wife and I stayed at this B&B quite a long time ago, I find the same owner-manager still runs it now, which I think allows me to write here about it because their excellent hospitality comes mostly out of his keen business sense and charming personality.
The staff were very kind and friendly with a personal touch. They tried their best to help us enjoy our stay not in a businesslike manner but as if we were friends. But don't worry. They never poked their nose into our own business; if we wanted them to leave us alone, they left us alone. They were good at keeping the optimum distance. Their hospitality was one of a kind.
In case literature lovers don't know, the B&B is located within walking distance of the neighborhood that Jorge Luis Borges mentioned in some of his poems. Plaza Cortazar, which is a few blocks away, was named so in honor of the writer of Hopscotch.
Staying at Malabia House surely made our trip in Buenos Aires unique, delightful and unforgettable.

we went on our honeymoon for a couple of nights and we loved it! the staff was very nice, friendly and knowledgable at any hour of the day or night. The location was great! walking distance to restaurants, bars, shopping, and the subte.

the actual house is very clean and breakfast is the best place to meet the people staying there.

we highly highly recommend it!

  • Liked — the great staff and the breakfast
  • Disliked — nothing
  • Tips/Secrets: — Taxi drivers dont know about this hotel (because it is so small) make sure you memorize the two closest intersections! good luck!!

The staff is beyond friendly, the location is perfect, at the best area of Palermo Viejo, the rooms are cozy, the building is charming. The ideal atmosphere for a couple. I strongly reccommend it!

We stayed at Malabia House over our honeymoon and it was excellent.

The BnB is located in a renovated convent and has a lovely, cozy design. The hotel is located in a very safe area in Palermo, near shops, restaurants and a couple minutes walk to Grocery stores and pharmacies.

The service was amazing and the staff was unbelievably friendly and really worked extra hard to attend to our every need. Everyone is quite knowledgable about Buenos Aires and of the many things that the city has to offer. The staff does not hound you for tips as happens in other hotels. We felt safe leaving our things in the room unlike some of the other places we stayed at in Buenos Aires Palermo is a very safe area and we always felt fine walking around. Malabia House also has a doorman 24hrs/day which adds to the safety.

The rooms were very clean and the only downside was that the bathrooms were a bit small.

There's also internet included 24hr/day which is another plus.

The breakfast was excellent with a good selection of different items. Jorge makes the best omlettes. There is a wide variety of travellers from all over the world at Malabia House and a great thing about the breakfast in the dining room is meeting all of the interesting people staying at the hotel and also chatting with staff.

We would definately stay here again when we return to Argentina. We've never stayed at a place where the staff made us feel so much at home.
