I was a little bit nervous about going to Buenos Aires but once I arrived to the hotel I knew that I was going to have a wonderful time! The staff really made me feel at home and were genuinely interested in my overall experience in Buenos Aires and not just with my stay at the hotel, which was absolutely wonderful! The location was superb as I could get to most of the attractions on foot.

The hotel was tastefully done, the breakfasts were even tastier and the Tango classes were way better than I could have imagined. As I don't have a lot of Spanish, Rooney's recommended me to attend ECELA for two weeks to learn some Spanish and that was a really good idea as well.

I hope to go back to Buenos Aires soon and I will definitely stay at Rooney's again! :-)

Buen viaje!!!

My husband and I stayed 5 nights at Rooney's from November 14 - November 20 (minus one night for a day trip). We loved this hotel. There are several factors that added to our happiness with the hotel:

1)The location could not be more perfect. It's in a central part of town where you can easily access each neighborhood quickly and conveniently. It is in between two major avenues that run through the city so it makes it even easier if you like to walk and explore cities. One reviewer talked about it being in between 2 strip clubs and on a busy street. There is a lot of nighttime activity on the street. It never feels unsafe though nor did it feel seedy. We're from a city, so maybe the noise didn't bother us too much, but it wasn't that big of a deal. It definitely woke us up occassionally, but it isn't a make or break thing for me. If you're staying in a big city, there is bound to be street noise. I'm also confused by the point of mentioning the "rickety elevator" by one reviewer - that has no purpose to your stay. It's big enough to carry two people and their luggage, so what more do you need? If you are the type that wants to stay at a Marriott everywhere that you go, this hotel is not for you. If you want to stay at a hotel that truly shows you the character of the city you are in, this is the perfect place.

2)The staff was fantastic. They were incredibly helpful and kind. We booked a football game through them and it was great. All around, it is obvious that they take care in their service and with their guests.

3) The rooms - We stayed the bulk of our time in a deluxe room. It was unbelievably charming. It was so cute with high ceilings and an ornate chandelier. It was even bigger than we expected (especially since we expect old boutique hotels to have small rooms). When we returned from our side trip, we moved to a superior room - it was definitely smaller but no less charming nor did it skimp on accommodations. The rooms were always clean and they would tidy up any clothes that we had strewn all over the place.

I really loved Buenos Aires and when we return, we will stay with Rooneys' again.

Hotel sited on the third floor accessed via a security gate from the street and then via a rickety lift or common stairs shared by other occupants in the building.
The delux room did not live up to our expectations build up by the apperance on the website. Bedroom butted onto the narrow reception corridor/desk with resultant noise and light coming into the bedroom via a fanlight. Unable to get hot water to the washbasin and cistern located directly behind the bedhead behind a thin wall.
My wife and I declined to stay in the Hotel - But as we had booked for 7 days ( on account of the Web description)- ended up paying a two night cancellation fee - Not a good start to our Buenos Aires Holiday.
We found much better accomodation and enjoyed the rest of our visit to Argentina

Quiet, cool rooms, friendly staff, beautiful 100% cotton spotlessly clean bedding and towels. Relaxed atmosphere, completely safe and great location - wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Fantastic
