This small B and B had been recently totally renovated, so it is very clean, attractive and fresh. The owner, Thibaud, is very helpful regarding suggestions and reservations for dinner, sites and transportation. Breakfast is taken in the sm dining room or on the patio under an umbrella. It consisted of coffee, juice and small pastries. There is internet available at no additional charge. They will wake you if you need to get up early(as we did) for a flight. Note that the location is not near the tourist attractions or shopping, it is in a neighborhood. We took a taxi every day to get into the center of town...not bad if you don't come back to change for dinner. The taxis are cheap and readily available...they call one for you. It's the time you spend in them that gets old. The subway is only 4 blocks away as an alternate to avoid the traffic.

We really enjoyed staying at the Posada and everything written about it here is true. The staff was always more than helpful, the room was large with a great bed, nice bath and the breakfasts were some of the best we had in South America!!!

We liked the fact it was in a residential area and the taxi was only a few dollars...we usually took the metro though. BA is such a noisey city that I couldn't imagine staying in a busy area.

They recommended La Brigada in San Telmo for steaks and they were the best since Texas!!! And we were the only tourists! Try the ojo de bife!!! It was 2+ inches thick.

My only problem was with BA in general...the most dangerous, "uneven" sidewalks with pet wastes than I have ever seen in the world!!!

The Posada kept their front very nice and we especially liked the courtyard.

Like said in the previous review, the owner, Thibaud, is an amazing guy who will give you personal attention all the time. The staff is extremely friendly... they try very hard and make your stay very pleasant.

The house is maintained in the best condition... very tastefully restored. The rooms are VERY clean and comfortable with good air conditioning for all seasons (floor heating in the winter and mini-split in the summer).

The environment is very relaxed and enjoyable. They provide free internet access and a good continental breakfast.

The only con I find is that the house is not loacated in a tourist area and you have to grab a cab or walk a few blocks (4?) to catch the subway. However, cabs in Buenos aires are quite cheap and the low price of this inn more than compensates any extra expense in this regard (a cab ride downtown costs maybe US$4-5 from the house).

I definitely recommend this place... not even at the best 5 star hotels had I been cared for so well and given so much guidance in my stay. Thanks guys!...

Last April, we went to Argentina with my husband and we choose the Posada Gotan to stay for a week. We find it searching Bed and Breakfast in Internet. It is a wonderful place in the centre of the city, in a quiet neighborhood called Boedo. The house is a typical Italian style from 1890 restored in a very good test by its owner; a French guy called Thibaud, married to an Argentinean journalist. He gave us such wonderful tips to visit Buenos Aires, we went to non touristy places, tango bars, very good restaurant…..we missed nothing! And the hotel has very good services, beds and is very clean. We recommend the place very much.

Saludos,
