It's got a lot of charm, and the people who work there are very nice. It also has a terrible mold problem, which I don't see getting any better without some very extensive (and expensive) work. The rooms are nearly uninhabitable without all the windows and doors open, and even then you are likely to get ill if you stay in too long, depending on your sensitivity. All of our clothes now smell like mildew, and I anticipate spending quite a bit of money getting everything cleaned.

It's too bad. This obviously used to be a very nice hotel. It no longer is.

We stayed in the Baucis a the beginning of a 7 week trip around Argentina, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect start to the trip. The hotel is in a great location in Palermo, and is within easy reach of all the main attractions of the city.
But what sets this hotel apart from others, is the level of service that the staff offer - No question was too much, and they are more than willing to offer advice on trips in Buenos Aires and beyond, on places to eat and drink locally, and on places to visit that might not be on the tourist radar - all this advice comes unprompted, and as if being given by someone you have known for a long time.

Because of the advice we received from Josefina on where to go in Bariloche and the surrounding areas (yes, they will even offer advice of travelling in Argentina), we planned our entire stay in Bariloche (and San Martin de los Andes) based on her excellent advice.

The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, and the hotel feels more like being at home that a hotel. Many of the so called 'Chain' hotels and higher rated hotels should look at the Baucis, and see the service they offer as they would all learn a very valuable lesson on what Customer Service should be.

We had such a great time in this hotel, that we booked to stay there on our last night in Argentina, and as it was the perfect place to start our trip, it was also the perfect place to end it.

We just came back from a wonderful city of Buenos Aires. Since it was a last minute trip, we had a tough time finding a place to stay and after extensive searching decided to go with Baucis.

The rate (for the 3 of us) seemed good - $89/night plus tax. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were told that the mistake was made and the room can only fit 2 people....after some back and forth, we were accomodated - an extra mattress was added for $30/night. Quite frankly, I was happy with this arrangement.....the room was very basic, but quiet, and we never heard any noise from the streets. The hotel is in good location in Palermo Hollywood, only a short walking distance from Palermo Soho, with its adorable stores and cafes.

Cabs are always available to take you anywhere for a very decent price and we never had a problem catching one at anytime during a day or night. And while you are in Palermo Soho dont miss an AMAZING steak restaurant - La Cabrera or La Cabrera Norte - it will knock your socks off!!

Enjoy your stay in BA :))

Thank you for bending over backwards (helpful effort) in making our stay in buenos aires very memorable. The tango,Café, bar culture here is as charming as this hotel.
