I stayed at this hotel with my mother in the Fall of 2006. I was studying abroad in Argentina at the time and happened to live in the neighborhood, so this was close to my homestay. I had no idea how much we would love the hotel! It's a little on the small side, but it was a perfect fit for us. The bathrooms had a spa-like atmosphere to them. And the rooms were nicely appointed. We stayed for a week and were able to converse with the owner numerous times. He told us about the history of the hotel, that it used to be his grandmother's (or another relative's) house before converting it. The staff was nothing but attentive and pleasant.

Also, the area is fantastic. Notwithstanding the fact that I'm a little biased from having lived in the neighborhood, I can honestly say that the hotel is in a great area for restaurants and nightlife. In a two block radius there are more than 10 or 15 restaurants/bars that are fantastic. We ate at one of the restaurants three times that week. Although the "more" historic/touristy areas are a taxi ride away (it doesn't cost more then $10 to get there and if you're adventurous the bus system can get you *anywhere*), the area is so pleasantly Argentine that I can't imagine needing to leave. Strolling the streets of this neighborhood, or taking in a polo game in the nearby pitch, are fantastic ways to experience Buenos Aires. Much more than being taken in by some of the tourist traps in San Telmo.

I can't recommend this hotel more. It really made my mother's and my stay truly incredible and unforgettable.

Located in one of the most trendy areas of Buenos Aires, you'll be spoiled by restaurant and bar options.
Breakfast in the garden was really good, specially the scrambled eggs. We stayed for a couple of nights and the service was excellent. Be aware that the rooms are on the small size.
Would go back there, specially because of the area, but would book a bigger room than a Double Superior.

We apparently were hitting BsAs at a very popular time and were closed out at the hotels we had originally selected. We did some further searches and decided to book. Our experience was delightful and pleasing. The rooms are on the small side but bestowed the feeling one gets when appreciating the redesign and modernization of an old building done tastefully....leaving those attributes most pleasing and charming. The entire building, 3 stories...although no elevator..was beautifully designed anew and finished with finest of workmanship. Service was excellent..breakfast a treat, nicely done in a dedicated area, fresh choices complete with cappucino done correctly for the first time for us on this trip. There was enough room for all the necessities....intimate outside patio, hot tub, 2 internet high speed computers and secure storage for luggage after checkout if you decided to linger awhile. I must mention a terrific restaurant about a block away...Los Cholas. Do not miss it. No credit cards, always a hint of a good place and not a recognizable tourist in sight. Tables also set up on the sidewalk when things got busy...
Location of the hotel, on Palermo's fringe, was not a deterrent...we even walked back from Malba Museo.but the weather was nice and we like a hike. The subway is a short walk and allows access to anywhere you want to go....we did use it the second day to see the parts we missed including a drink at Cafe Tortoni, Evita's tomb and the usual sites in the city....
Most interesting was the Argentine training tall ship Libertard which was dockside and it seemed to me in disrepair.It has been sold and there is talk of using it as a museum. I remember it well from the 1976 TallShips Review in NYC harbour in all its splendor surrounded by the classics from Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland , France,Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Portugal, Spain and many others...all led by our own Eagle.
There was plenty to see and its always nice when you take pride in where you chose to stay.
Cheers to Pablo and his fine staff and their alluring 248 Finisterre.

I spent 2 nights in this fun, funky hotel in this hip district about 10 mins drive from the city centre. My room was well proportioned, clean and inviting, while the communal areas made it really easy to meet people, especially as I was travelling on my own.

The staff were also very attentive and made me feel very much at home, whilst also offering to help give suggestions about places to visit and eat.

For those hot days, you can even cool down in the outdoor hot tub, not especially big but perfect for 2!

For going out, there are lots of great places to eat on the doorstep.

I spent another 2 nights in the centre at a rather impersonal hotel, and all I wanted was to be back at the Finisterra.
