This small hotel is charming and authentic. It is positioned in a good location in Palermo Soho only ten minutes walk to the centre of Palermo's nightlife and restaurants. We stayed in the Verde room which was okay, nothing special but clean and tidy with nice furniture. We arrived on a Saturday night late and went straight to bed after our 16 hour flight. Unfortunately this room faced onto the cobbled street and with the poor windows on the room which hardly shut it was very noisy with traffic and people all night long, to the point that I had to purchase ear plugs for the second night. The breakfasts were good by Argentinean standards and served in a lovely dining room with antique furniture around a communal dining table which was good for chatting to fellow travellers. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a nice courtyard at the back of the property. Popular with foreign travellers a nice small hotel but somewhat noisy at night.

We stayed here last week and it is a dump. Our room (bamboo suite) was damp with mould on the curtains and the ceiling was crumbling.
The staff were not as helpful as we have experienced elsewhere in Argentina.
The patio doors to our room didn't lock and they were not fixed during our 2 day stay there.
The location is good but there are other good hotels in the same area.
I would not recommend staying here.

This is a beautiful old home in a wonderful area of Buenos Aires (Palermo). We initially booked the azul room and then changed to a larger room with a balcony after the first two nights. The rooms are bright and clean, the house is full of old charms (including a garden patio through the main entry way), the breakfasts were delicious, and the staff was very, very helpful. We plan to return for a longer stay during our next visit. Thank you!

We stayed in the Suite for only 2 nights in late September 2007, but it was long enough to have some cash stolen (£40). Fooled by the "family atmosphere" we didn't use the safe deposit box during our very brief stay. No offer to reinbursh us or get to the bottom of it. Shame. It left a bad aftertaste to our honeymoon. You have been warned...

This charming and snug inn located in Palermo was our first stop on our recent trip to Argentina and we enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and the room, though a little squashed, was comfortable and clean. Good location within walking distance to the Palermo scene and the subway line to head into the city center. Also a good place to meet other travelers and share experiences and tips. Thanks, L.O.O.
