We just stayed at the Solar Soler B&B. Overall, it's worth it for the money, but I would stay in another location for my next trip. Solar is located in Palermo Hollywood, which is a bit run down now and is getting built up. Every morning, we were awakened by construction noises from next door, and on the block there are several auto body shops and car washes (along with a nice, expesive restaurant "Osaka", which looks out of place). A better location would be Palermo Viejo, in the area of Malabia House, which is about a 20 minute walk from Hollywood and is next to the restaurants and shopping.

In terms of accomodations, the B&B is very cozy (meaning small), and the linens and towels are very old and much used. The rooms are very, very small, and the bathrooms are tiny. Most of the staff is friendly and helpful (some more than others), and the breakfast was OK. Before your trip, make sure to confirm your reservation (we ended up in a different room than promised, which wasn't a big deal, but it could matter to some.) We were actually in 2 different rooms, because they didn't have 1 available for the entire stay, and the rate was about $60 US with taxes per night. Definitely a great price, but I would have paid more for a better location, newer amenities, and a bigger room.

Hope this review helps!

Nice Bed and Breakfast in Palermo, the new "cool" part of Buenos Ayres, a few blocks away from the part where most shops, resturants and bars are.
The B&B is nice, clean and comfortable.
The common part is very cute and you really feel at home.
the best part of all is the staff: kind, nice, caring and helping.
All the suggestion they gave us were simply perfect, the help they gave in reserving and identifying places a true delight.

Only remark, the small room are really quite small, so it is better to ask for larger ones (much better value for the higher money asked) and not on the side of the street (not ta huge traffic, but a truck at night may be enough to wake you up). Rating (extremely high anyways) would have been 5 stars if I could have changed my room with one of those, think that I couldn't do as the B&B was full - book in advance!

Thank you again for the wonderful time passed there,

Mario

I have emails to confirm this. My fiancee and I reserved for November 2006 with this B&B, following their requested procedures, following up with phone calls, giving them our credit card information.

Then, just days before our arrival in BA - WHILE we were in Patagonia, they emailed to say that they were afraid they "could not honor our reservation." They'd clearly blown us off, giving the rooms to someone who wanted the rooms for a longer period of time.

They said they'd booked rooms for us at another B&B and gave us the name and number, but that B&B never called us or emailed us back.

Book here with this caution.

The Solar Soler B&B is a charming B&B located in the heart of Palermo Hollywood. The absolute best thing about this bed and breakfast is its location. As other reviews have mentioned you have a multitude of restaurants, bars and shops all within close walking distance. The neighborhood is also very safe. The staff are very friendly and helpful and while we found the rooms a bit small, the beds were unbelievably comfortable. Right around the corner there is also a place for helado (ice cream) called Bacio - delicious!

This is a cute B&B which aims to please. They are located on a quiet street in Palermo which is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, nightlife and the subway but not too close to be loud all the time. The staff is very attentive and provide a lot of information on the city and attractions. Local calls are free as well as internet (only one computer in the hotel). The rooms are small but well maintained and have air-conditioning. It is important to confirm your reservation in advance as they lost ours and we had to do quite a bit of reshuffling. They have an outdoor patio space and a sun-deck, which are ideal to sharing a bottle of Malbec.
