The Bobo is in a great part of BA, Palermo.It's close to the subte at Plaza Italia so the metro downtown is an easy journery. The Plaza Serrano is nearby too, and there you'll find plenty of interesting bars and cafes. Palermo is safe, interesting and has everything you'd need for a great stay in BA. It's also close enough to Recoleta, for shopping and the cemeterio. Plaza de Mayo and Puerto Madero, the main downtown venues you must visit are 20 mins away on the subte.

Our room was really comfotrable and had a terrace. It was clean and had all the amenities you'd look for in a top of the range hotel. The point about the Bobo is that's small, intimate and has a unique character. The staff know who you are and everything has a personal touch associated with their service.

The hotel staff are really helpful with everything. All their restaurant recommendations were delightful. It was important because often those recommended in guide books change hands and names quite quickly so you can't find them that way! Every place they sent us was patronised by locals, who don't think about eating till after 9.00pm, and reservations were essential. Again Bobo reception staff took care of that for us too.

Argentinean cuisine is not only great value but excellent in standard, wherever we went.

The Bobo restaurant was closed, sadly, while we were there. However, breakfasts were superb. On the first night we were treated to a free wine tasting which was really informative, as well as good fun. My respect for Argentinean wine has increased. The cab savs matched any that I've drunk from Chile or Australia and persuaded me that it's not just malbec to look out for. There was no obligation, nor pressure to buy any of the wines on offer.

Reception also organised all the cabs we needed. They made reservations for us with Buquebus as we continued on our onward journey across the River Plate to Uruguay and Colonia, then on to Montevideo.

I can't recommend the hotel too highly. Everything about it is superb!

  • Liked — It's intimacy and the welcome we received
  • Disliked — That the restaurant was closed for rennovation

My husband and I returned at "BoBo Hotel", in 2007 August. The small hotel continues a gem! The staff, the location, the room (in this time, we stayed at "Tecno" suite), the breakfast, and the restaurant, everything is loved! Certainly, we´ll return there in the next winter vacation!

The Bobo Hotel is a great choice for those traveling to Buenos Aires. We stayed for 5 nights in the Pop room. It is specious with high ceilings and a good size bathroom. The bed was comfortable and heater worked well. Hotel was very clean and the staff was great. They are very helpful with tips on dining and getting around the city.

Restaurant was closed for dinner during our stay but the breakfast, included in the room rate, is tasty and generous. You can get eggs, toast, yogurt, fruit, coffee, juice, etc. You'll be well fed before you hit the streets.

The best part was the Palermo Viejo location though. This neighborhood is much calmer (traffic wise) than staying downtown in the microcentro or recoleta. Its a upcoming area where the feeling is young and energetic. The hotel is a 4 blocks to the subte (metro) and has many, many excellent restaurants to eat at only seconds away. There is also a small plaza only 6 blocks away where you can go for drinks, dinner, dessert, or just to people watch. We enjoyed sushi, Italian, beef/parilla (obviously), and fusion cuisine all minutes away. A small grocery store is also only a few block down (great for buying water and snacks and rock bottom prices). The many clothing boutiques are also great for the shoppers out there.

Many new boutique hotels are opening up in this area so competition will be increasing. But I can guarantee you will not regret your stay at the Bobo.

My husband and I (both in our mid-20s) stayed at the BoBo on our honeymoon in March of 2007 and spent 2 nights in the Argentina Suite. We found the hotel to be a wonderfully restored old townhouse, complete with elevator. The room was well appointed with the large bath area being the highlight of the room and also enjoyed the small balcony overlooking the street below. The continental breakfast was a nice touch in the mornings.

The location was ideal for us - even after moving to another hotel in Recoleta we kept finding ourselves coming back to Palermo to eat, shop, and wander around the local galleries. The staff were all top-notch and took care of all of our dining reservations in advance for us and were happy to provide us with local maps.

The only aspect of the BoBo we didn't care for was the computer in the dining room area. Granted we used it only to notify our family of our whereabouts, but it was a bit disconcerting to realize anyone could potentially see the computer screen.

We highly recommend the hotel, and we felt it was well-priced for what you receive. We would stay here in the future.

My girlfriend and I stayed 4 nights at the Bobo Hotel in June and would recommend this to anyone/everyone. Some overall thoughts:

Location - is great, in Palermo and allows you to spend more time in a cool area that you normally may not see as much of. Great restaurants and good nightlife around here.

Amenities - fantastic as well. The rooms are very nice. Breakfast is included and features a nice complimentary menu to choose from. The bar/restaurant and outdoor patio have a cool, trendy design and you each get a free drink during your stay.

Staff - Unbelievable. They all speak English, provide all necessary recommendations, book all reservations and are one of the best parts of this hotel. The reservations they had us eat at were fantastic and took us to the "real" neighborhoods of Buenos Aires and out of the tourist traps.

We would recommend this hotel to anyone and is one of our favorite if not the favorite hotel we stayed at through our travels in Europe, the US and S. America. If you are like us and in your mid 20s to early 30s we highly recommend spending the extra money for this hotel.
