We stayed at the art hotel for 2 days in November, and never gonna stay here again. As we went out to exchange some reals from brazil we didn't bother to bring the euros we had on the same place while sleeping. Went out for 45 min and when I come back the euros I put in the closet under a bag was missing (I know it was stupid not to look them in the safe when I went out). Later on that night after turning the whole room up and down, I went down to the reception to report this. Could not get hold of the manager, so we had to wait to next day. The manager didn't get in touch with us, I had to seek assistance again. He tells me the great lie that they haven't had anything stolen for the last 3 years from the rooms. Anyhow we changed hotel, and I visit the tourist police station to file a report. The policeman asks me which hotel this happend at, and when I give him the card from the hotel he replies: YOU ASWELL? This means it happend with other tourists at the same time when we was staying there... Nice hotel, but I guess the cleaning lady just gav e 50% to the management and she could keep her job.

Really, just fabulous. On my first trip to Buenos Aires, I decided to follow the Lonely Planet advice and stayed at the Art Hotel. This was definitely the right decision. Buenos Aires, being the most European city of South America, I was expecting a place with a cosy "European" athmosphere and ... found it. The hotel combines modern design and old architecture in a brilliant way. The staff is very helpful and competent. I simply loved it and will surely return, as soon as i can.

NOT SO SAFE!! I had been spending few wonderful days in Buenos Aires, and I was recomended the Art Hotel by a friend of mine who was there few weeks ago. They told me it was excellent, a great atmosphere and specialy the staff in there.

Then my wife and I decided to go and ask about availability. I guess we have not got there on a good moment, because as soons as we get through a man handling a gun was pointed me asking me something, I guess it was a robbery and i can tell because of the expresión of the staff on front desk (he was terrified). Then, my ife was taken by the hair. I do not how but we could get out of there.

I guess they can be so nice and charme but that really did not make me feel I wanted stay with them, no way!!! It does not give any safe guarantees

This boutique hotel attracts an eclectic mix of young European and older American tourist couples. It is well located on the outskirts of Barrio Norte and the staff is young and very helpful. The room decor is creative with high ceilings, french doors, original art and modern furniture though minimalist in style. Don't let the windowed bathroom door put you off.

The rooms are long on charm but might be a tad short on comfort for some couples except for the "king" room ( which was adequate sized at 190 sq.ft,and a queen size bed). The cozy room is tiny (120 sq. ft) and strictly for the back pack crowd. If you are a couple , deffinitely splurge and go for the king room. The queen room is ok for singles or newlyweds. Remember, you get what you pay for at this hotel.

In summary, I would highly recommend this hotel to the tourist on a budget. If you are looking for the comfort of a four or five star hotel and can afford it , this hotel may not be for you.
