We were recommended the Art Hotel by our travel agent after finding that the BoBo Hotel was fully booked. From the website it looked in a good location, beautifully decorated and just the sort of boutique hotel myself and my boyfriend like.

The good points - the reception staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, accommodating all our requests and making helpful suggestions. The building has been beautifully designed so that the communial areas, centred on the art gallery space on the ground floor, feel very light, airy and bright. The location is good for seeing the sights of Recoleta and the rest of the city. On the first day we were upgraded to a King Size bedroom, which was a good size and we were impressed by the overall finish and quality for the price. The room faced the road and Buenos Aires is a noisy city 24/7 so if you are a light sleeper, request a room away from the road.

Down sides - When we returned to the hotel after a trip out of the city we were given a Queen Size room. This was much smaller, darker and only had two small windows looking into an internal light shaft. Despite the fact it was late September (spring), the room was ridiculously hot and the airconditioning didn't seem to do anything at all. It was like sleeping in an oven. The bathroom was a bit faded and small and no matter how hard you tried to stop it, the shower covered the floor with water as soon as it was turned on. This was not the smallest size of room the hotel offers yet it felt dark, claustraphobic and depressing.

For our last two nights in Buenos Aires we managed to transfer to the Home Hotel in Palermo and would highly recommend it. Although slightly more expensive, it is in another league to the Art Hotel, which we were more than happy to leave.

Having heard about the Art Hotel from various magazine articles and reviews I was very excited to stay at the Art Hotel. It’s in a great location and the breakfast was excellent, one of the better I've had. Its minimalist in its style and I actually expect more art work, but what was there was very nice.

My room was a king room with Balcony which is a nice size, I wouldn't have wanted to have a smaller room; I think the other rooms are smaller. I found certain things lacking though and it made me question the cost vs. quality of the hotel. For example, the plug above the sink didn't hold the electrical appliance (like my hair dryer) even with several adapters given to me by the hotel, these adapters fell out too! .so I had to have my boyfriend hold the plug in the wall while I blow dried!!! The other was that the toilet seat was missing 2 of the little stands that separate the seat from the rim, so when you sat down it was tilted and uneven...the sheets on the bed aren't fitted so they come off when you sleep...I really don't like this...and while the balcony is great, the noise from the street is really loud, I can't imagine on a warmer time of the year when you really need the door open, it would be hard to rest. I didn’t see the interior rooms, but I wonder if they have less noise. I too had read the complaints about the staff, and the general manager was very nice and pleasant. The other staff while always helpful maybe had a slightly stiff air about them sometimes, but no big deal. In the end, I think you can find better bargains and just as nice hotels in BA.

We stayed two nights at this very cozy and cute hotel near the Recoleta district. It's very easy on the eyes and has a certain charm and character that help understand why it has such good ratings.

The room is not especially comfortable, being on the small side with a rather stiff bed. Even locked, the doors could easily be pushed in if someone had wrongdoing on his mind, but that didn't happen to us.

The hardest part to understand during our stay here occured right away. A young man showed us the room, we were satisfied, he brought the luggage. When I tried to tip him his response made me feel that I was trying to give him some used toilet tissue. It was certainly a look of disdain, and I started to withdraw the offering just as he decided to take it after all. I was very confused.

As guests of the Art Hotel who spent two glorious weeks in Buenos Aires, we find it unnecessary to repeat all the positive comments already posted by previous guests, However, we find it mandatory to finally name all the personnel from the front desk who fulfilled all our requests in a timely manner, assited us throughout our stay with insiders' hints and suggestions, and treated us all with world class profesionalism. Eduardo's name was already mentioned; the rest of the young men are Ezequiel, Ariel, Ivan, Michiel and Javier.
We thank them publicly for doing their jobs above our highest
expectations.

we stayed in the small and cozy room for $85 US a night. it was small but very functional. the art in the hotel is great, breakfest was good. beds, sheets, pillows were perfect. only complaint was the water pressure and lack of hot water. we were on the 4th floor so maybe that had something to do with it, but still it was pretty bad pressure for about 80% of our showers
