Our week-plus stay at Posada Palermo in February, 2007 was one of the most comfortable, friendly, and aesthically pleasing experiences in our 35 years of traveling.

Behind its 19th C doorway, the Posada unfolds with warmly colored, surprising elements that make you feel immediately welcomed (an internal garden with sleigh bench; a vaulting but cozy, art-filled breakfast room with music playing; a multi-leveled outdoor garden). Viviana, the owner and architect, designed each guestroom in a unique combination of Euro line and rich color to adapt the historical building (an old pasta factory with a classical façade). She and her daughter now live on the evolving upstairs level.

As several different returning guests affirmed to us, the Posada serves the most bounteous B&B breakfast in Buenos Aires. (And Viviana sends out for more if she thinks it’s not enough.) Tea, coffee and fresh water are always available beside the guestrooms in the tiny art-covered sitting area by the inside garden.

Even surpassing these features, was the friendliness and helpfulness of Viviana and her manager, Alejandro. No problem dropping off our luggage two days before our actual stay there. No problem finding us a nearby apartment for the night the Posada was filled by a frequently returning family. No problem letting us use the computer for email and information. No problem with us staying in the wonderful breakfast room way beyond breakfast time. They would join us at each breakfast and make sure we had all the information needed for the day, with local wisdom and suggestions thrown in.

We will surely return there on any trip to Buenos Aires.

Posada Palermo was a great home away from home in BA. The owner was warm, friendly and very helpful. They were happy to book restaurant reservations for us and make recommendations for things to see and do. Breakfasts were tasty and made to order, and our room was large and comfortable. We were in walking distance of all the great shopping and dining in Palermo, and we were able to easily catch taxis nearby.

As noted in the reviews below. The hosts and the breakfast are the highpoints of this B&B. They go all out to make sure you day starts right and any information that they can find of give you is provided. Sometimes they may be a bit to cautious in their recommendations, as I found to be the case elsewhere. Everybody is looking out for your safety in what is a relatively very safe big city.
The B&B is housed in a very interesting old building that has been attractively updated. The beds are good, the towels are very fluffy and the water pressure and amount of hot water excellant. The area of Palermo is very intersting and definately where you want to stay if good food and good wine are part of what you want to experience in Argentina. If it wasn't on your agenda, add it.

  • Liked — The hosted breakfast, great conversation, cafe con leche, dulce de leche
  • Disliked — Room 1 and hearing the doorbell, every time it rang. (Ear plugs worked)

Just back from a fantastic Argentina Vacation that started with 5 nites at Posada Palermo! The most adorable inn in the cutest location in beautiful Palermo Viejo!
We arrived early from an overnite U.S. flite to be warmly welcomed into our room by Alejandro, who treats guests like friends and the inn like his home. We loved staying at the breakfast table with Alejandro for hours talking and learning about the Portenos and their wonderful country. It was truly the best way to start every day, great food and wonderful company..
We stayed in room #1, and disagree with the previous review, it is a terrific value for great accomodations.
Always terrific restaurant and store suggestions, assistance with tour bookings and so much more.
Posasda Palermo is home away from home!!!

We had a great time in Buenos Aires with Posada Palermo as our base. Alejandro and Viviana were perfect hosts! It is a little bit difficult to find - even the cab driver had difficulty, but it makes you feel even more at home! There are 4 rooms, and we stayed in 2 of them, but we got to see all 4 rooms. The first room we stayed in was quite small and loud. The bed was a little hard and the bathroom cramped. I think that is room #1, but I could be wrong (it's by the front door.) However, we were lucky and the other people staying there moved on, and we got to change rooms to the beautiful master bedroom. Viviana is the owner, and the B&B used to be her home. She built a 2nd level, and resides there with her daughter. The 1st floor is all B&B. Room #4 I believe, the former master bedroom, is spacious and beautiful. The other 2 rooms were moderately sized - all clean and well kept.

I agree with the other reviews - Alejandro and Viviana were wonderful hosts, always having breakfast with us and offering plenty of advice. The breakfast was plentiful, with eggs, ham sandwiches, fresh fruits, breads, and freshly squeezed OJ among the many delights. There is a small patio outside if you want to enjoy the sun. The location is great, within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and about 10 minutes from the underground train stop.

I could only give 4 stars, due to the uninspring first room, and it is a big pricey for Buenos Aires. You can't go wrong here, but definitely shop around.
