We spent 5 nights at Casa Vaiven and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean, quiet and comfortable. And the staff were very helpful, with great local knowledge. Daniel, Martin and Melissa all went out of their way to make our visit to Buenos Aires fun, interesting and delicious (Daniel gave us some great restaurant tips). San Telmo is a great part of town to stay in.

  • Liked — The location and the friendly staff
  • Disliked — It's an open space, so noise can echo in the building

Our first four nights in Argentina were spent at Casa Vaiven. That was a great start to our trip. A superb desayuno was served every morning with an excellent camaraderie with other travelers around the table. Each staff person working there was very kind and exceedingly helpful with directions, making reservations etc. The location is also a positive factor being close to a subte station and to the main street (Defensa) in the San Telmo district with its wonderful Sunday market. Thankyou Casa Vaiven.

Hola! I'm Maria from Spain. I was at Casa Vaiven last week and I want to tell you I RECOMMEND IT! The neigbourhood is very "familiar", in the corner are the offices of the main important newspaper of all Argentina "Clarin"!!
It is not a touristic area with a lot o people or hoteles. It's very nice and quiet, specially during the night, when everybody wants to rest.
The staff is wondurfull, Daniel, Martin and Melisa were very friendly and helpful.

You really have to visit it on your travel to Argentina.

Casa Vaiven, next to everything, away from everithing.

Un beso para todos

Maria.

A great experience at a very reasonable price. The bed and breakfast, a converted cookie factory in San Telmo, is a delightful alternative to a hotel or apartment rental. My husband and I debated about the apartment rental but decided to go with the B&B because, being our first time to Buenos Aires, we thought we might need some help. We are really happy we chose Casa Viaven. The staff, especially Daniel, made us feel like family and gave us tips only locals could. They were always happy to make calls and arrange things for me (my Spanish is not so good).

Breakfast at the beautiful table includes freshly squeezed juice and delicious pastries. Our table mates were the kind of people we wanted to talk to—interesting people with great travel stories.
Can’t go wrong with Viaven!
