My partner and I stayed in the Minimalist Room and I can tell you it was anything but minimal. The room was a perfect size for 2 with plenty of space to spare; including a large bath and outdoor terrace with seating area. The staff was awesome! Customer service was definitely high on their list. The daily breakfast was a step above most hotels that just give you complimentary continental breakfast. Again I can't say enough about the staff. They were always helpful with providing recommendations for dinner and entertainment that were right on with our likes. They went above and beyond in every way including when my partner asked for a referral on where to get flowers in the area for my birthday. They arranged for a beautiful arrangement and placed it in the room along with a vase. Everything was just perfect. It was a truly memorable experience and we will definitely be staying there on our next trip to Buenos Aires. As an employee of Expedia, Inc. I highly recommend Bobo Hotel to anyone traveling to Buenos Aires.

Just want to confirm all the wonderful reviews about Bobo Hotel.

I stayed at the Pop room with my partner for 5 days at the end of January and loved every moment of it. The staff is as friendly as everyone says, the decoration is as beautiful as the website shows and the dining experience is great. In a word, there was nothing about this hotel that I did not like.

One special word to say, being gay, that this is truly a gay-friendly hotel in the wonderful sense that the staff just wants to make sure everyone feels at home (gay and straight couples alike) and couldn´t care less about what your sexual orientation is.

I will gladly choose Bobo Hotel again every time I return to BA !

I had read raves about the BoBo and was lucky enough to get a reservation during the "winter" season in July 2006. For the most part, the hotel earned every one of its raves. Let me start with the Staff: awesome ! Though my room was'nt ready when I arrived at 8am, they allowed me to "crash" on a sofa and had my room ready by 11am. The Waiters, Bartenders, and Concierge were all first class - although I find just about everyone in Buenos Aires is friendly. The Staff booked me on the "buquebus" for a day trip to Uruguay and gave me recommendations of things to do while I was there. The restuarant was amazing in the Bobo. The rooms were nice - yes a little noisy but I did'nt smell any smoke while I was there. The Argentenian Room is the one to get if you can - I also stayed in the "Traditional" room for two nights and it was nice but yes a bit noisy. My only gripe about the Bobo - the location. It is off the beaten path in a residential area that is a little scary. If you want something closer to the Microcentro or Recoleta, the Bobo is probably not for you you. Otherwise, go for it - but book in advance - I have planned 2 subsequent trips to BA and could not get a room at the BoBo.

If you enjoy an intimate, small B&B atmosphere, the BoBo is a must. We were treated like family by the young, energetic staff. By the time we left, we knew everyone by name. Our every need was joyfully and effortless fulfilled.

They only have 7 rooms in an old house which has been fully remodeled. While not large by some standards, the Minimalist room, #3, was quite adequate and with the deck space, gave us plenty of opportunity to spread out.

By the way, this is a non-smoking hotel, so there were no foul odors to disturb the quiet surroundings.

In addition to the rooms, there is a trendy, but not over-the-top restaurant where chef Sebastian creates some great fusion dishes. They have a special executive menu for lunch which is not only delicious but a real bargain. Where can you get a three course lunch (salad, entre & desert plus expresso) for $US6?

Again, the staff can not be praised enough. They wait table as well as serve guest needs and do it with class. Did I mention that they have a sommelier who at 24 years old has a passion for wine and the knowledge to match?

The location, in Palermo SoHo, is convenient, safe and loaded with other good resaurants. It's close to Centro, Recoleta and San Telmo (15 minute taxi ride $3-4).

It's definitely where we will stay when we return to BA. It books up often, so make reservations well ahead. If you want a touch of old world class in an up-to-date setting, the BoBo is the place.

This is an excellent boutique hotel and I have been recommending it to all my friends. In a quiet, tree-lined, chi-chi neighbourhood, close to the metro, so easy access to down-town. A wonderful in-house restaurant, which serves delicious wine, yet with lots of food and drink alternatives within easy walking distance. Great breakfasts. Quiet, attentive service - they couldn't do enough for me. Elegant, modern decor. I was in room 1 on the front and did not have any problems with noise. Breakfasts are served from 8.30 so I wouldn't recommend this for business travellers.

  • Liked — The whole look of the place; the food and wine and the great service
  • Disliked — Everything was perfect
  • Tips/Secrets: — Get the hotel to book you a seat at a soccer match in advance
