My wife and I stayed at this hotel for a week on our first trip to Buenos Aires. For weeks, I had combed reviews on TA and elsewhere trying to decide on the best hotel choice. This proved to be the perfect hotel and location for us.

The hotel is charming: a modern renovation of an old house in Las Canitas. The new portions of the building are open, light and airy with a lot of greenery and two outdoor decks. We had one of the larger rooms in the back of the hotel. The room was good sized and nicely furnished in a simple, muted-color boutique hotel style. An outdoor patio was just down a flight of stairs from the room. The bathroom was modern and functional.

I particularly appreciated the public area of this hotel. The breakfast/sitting room was large with a fireplace and T.V. This is the true center of the hotel and we often sat on the couches or at the tables drinking coffee and planning our day. Just off the lobby there was a computer with a fast internet connection.

Breakfasts were excellent: a full array of pastries, cold meats and breads with cooked entrees available on request. Coffee and drinks were provided by the staff throughout the day.

After all my worries--which neighborhood to choose--Las Canitas proved to be ideal. It was full of shops and restaurants and a wonderful place to walk and experience the city. Transportation was relatively easy: taxis (inexpensive) were always available in front of the hotel; the subway was a ten minute walk. Most evenings we just returned to the hotel and picked a local restaurant for dinner. Others have noted that there are a lot of people out on the street near the hotel at night. It's just part of the lively street scene in this part of Buenos Aires and our room (at the back of the hotel) was actually quite quiet.

The hotel staff was wonderful. Everyone went out of their way to be helpful. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

This is a lovely little boutique hotel in an area of BA called Las Canitas. It is off the tourist's path and right in the middle of a street bustling with restaurants and nightlife. The hotel feels like a little oasis in the midst of this lively street. It was fun staying here because it really felf like we were staying in a neighborhood.
Our room was very pleasant, but very small. It had room for a queen sized bed and an armoir and nothing more. The bathroom was also petite. This was not an issue as we spent very little time in our room.
The hotel has a great breakfast in the mornings with eggs, bacon, pastries galore, fresh fruit, etc.
The staff was really sweet and helpful and everyone spoke very good English.

firstly i dont think this a good hotel for your first trip to BA as it is a fair distance (1/2 hour taxi ride) from downtown situated on the edge of Palermo (but hotel don telmo is a great choice if you want to stay downtown).

we stayed here for three nights, and arrived at 11pm, first of all we were a bit put off by the fact that the street right outside the front door was full of people dining and drinking, the first room we got offered was right above this noise, so we asked for and got changed to a quieter room.

apart from this initial complaint, everything else about the hotel was perfect.

Room - good shower, nice bathroom, good tv, big comfy bed.
Breakfast - excellent, eggs cooked to order, nice selection of fruit, and cold meats and cheese, plus loads of nice pastries.
Staff - really friendly and helpful, all spoke english which was great for us, and they put up with our terrible spanish!
Location - just great for eating out, drinking and partying, great restaurants literlly 20 metres from the front door, plus loads of other options near by. there is free internet access in the lobby, but no wifi in the rooms

As advertised this hotel is right where you want to be; it is actually right between a bar and a restaurant. While it's located in a loud area surrounded by bars and restaurants, it was still quiet enough inside to sleep very well.
A very cute hotel that I'd enthusiastically recommend for all.
