BoBo is amazing! It is truly a steal for the price you pay (in USD). My husband and I recently went there for 2 nights and were amazed by the fantastic staff, the location, rooms and the hospitality we received. We were there over my birthday which the hostess noticed after checking my passport. That night a complimentary bottle of champagne was sent to our room. Another evening the hotel hosted a complimentary wine and cheese tasting for the guests. The sommelier of their excellent restaurant led the session. He was incredibly knowledgeable and the wines were superb. Where else can you do such a thing included in your room rate? It is a first rate, 5 star experience. I HIGHLY reccomend it 100%. You will not be disappointed.

Just stayed in the Pop room for 3 nights at the end of our Buenos Aires trip. After booking the BoBo way in advance to ensure a reservation after reading all the glowing reviews we were a bit disappointed. The POP room was a nice size with a big bathroom and a balcony overlooking the street but the "Pop" decor was ridiculous and didn't fit the architecture at all. Seemed a little haphazard at best. The bathroom wasn't done in Pop style at all and was the most nicely designed part of the room. We like modern and classic styles but this was a mixture of the two that fell very short of our expectations, especially when you have a seemingly infinite amount of much better designed restaurant interiors within a 10 block radius of the BoBo to compare it to. Wouldn't have cared too much if they hadn't just jacked the price up to US$170/night recently. Seems
a bit overpriced in comparison to other places we stayed in BA. The price increase is probably related to their high ratings by people who have little to compare it to. All in all, it was a nice comfortable room in a good location (despite the groove in the middle
of our mattress (probably two twins pushed together) but it's not deserving of all the hype.

Just arrived home from a return visit to Argentina and the Bobo. This is EXACTLY what a boutique hotel should be. Cool, comfortable, clean and welcoming. Though it has many great aspects, none compare to the amazing staff throughout the hotel: front desk, restaurant (including at least one who is beautiful!!!), management, housekeeping... get it? Everyone is just fantastic. I am so happy to have come back to Bobo and can't wait to return soon. p.s. if you can get it, I highly recommend the Minimalist room.

Just returned from staying in BA. We really loved the Bobo - I am not usually a big fan of boutique hotels but loved this hotel. The building is lovely in a quiet cobbled street in hip Palmero Soho, the furnishings in the hotel are great with real attention to detail. We stayed in the Techno room which was a decent size and a had nice terrace. We did not have dinner in the hotel but had breakfast, one night we had desert and made regular use of the bar - all were very good. The people really made an effort to make our stay enjoyable and gave us some terrific dinner recomendations. The hotel is great value but with only 7 rooms will need to book way in advance.

This is a small boutique hotel in the Palermo Soho area of town. We fell in love with this area when we visited B.A. last year and couldn't wait to come back and stay at the "BoBo!" We pre-selected our room before we arrived and we stayed in the Art Deco room. It was nice, clean and very comfortable. The closet was small, and not much furniture, but we had alot of room to spread out our suitcases so it worked out well.

It is a small hotel and the staff was quite personable so we enjoyed our time with them. We were offered a complimentary bar drink and my husband tried the Pisco Sour which he found to be quite refreshing and excellent. Since we were heading to Santiago de Chile within a few days, he wanted to get acquainted with their signature drink.

The breakfast was not a buffet but ordered off a menu. We thought this was a welcome change from steam table items as everything was hot and fresh. Apparently, BoBo is a breakfast place for the local business people as it was quite crowded when we arrived early the first morning, but no one was there when we came later the second day.

Their menu for dinner looked great, but we had other plans and did not indulge, but would if we came back.

The BoBo is in a great location to explore Palermo Soho, but yet not too far from Santa Fe Avenue and the parks and gardens near Plaza Italia. We were not concerned about walking at night to local restaurants, but did try to stay on the main walkways.

The stores are quite stylish in this neighborhood and it reminds me of a mixture of high end West Hollywood and teenage Melrose Ave in Los Angeles, or a mixture of Greenwich Village and Soho in NYC. The restaurants are certainly the kind to write home about. We tried Bar Uriate, but did not care for it, but were extremely pleased with La Cabrera and Cluny. We had lunch at Cluny during our first visit a year ago and had to come back. We can't imagine anyone not liking La Cabrera. My husband had the beef, with the 13 side dishes that they serve with it, and I had the pasta with sun dried tomatoes. It was homemade fusilli - perfectly cooked and very flavorful. We also went to La Cupertina for empanadas and dessert, the women running the restaurant are so friendly and the empanadas, while perhaps not the best, are certainly ones to experience.

We would definitely return to the BoBo Hotel and understand how it was rated so high in Trip Advisor reader surveys. Don't forget to check out their site on line and book early to get the room you want..
