Great central location, spacious room, friendly staff. Good communication through WhatsApp while there. Door locked at all times for good security. Lots of places to eat/shop in walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!
Very cool place to stay. Historic building with a little museum in the basement. Loved the architecture. The place was clean, is more of a bare bones type of place but I really enjoyed the vibe, the location, and the security of the building! Had a wonderful time here.
The room was perfect, very clean and a good temperature, with Aircon available if we had needed. Very good value for money and excellent central location, without the road noise. The shower was hot and the bed very comfortable. No issues and we have already booked to stay again.
Excellent choice as a base for exploring Buenos Aires. Close to everything ... hop on hop off bus stops, tango dinner show, San Telmo market, Buquebus if planning to visit Uruguay. The room we stayed in was next to the main road, we can hear sirens, etc., but didn't bother us at all. We still got a restful sleep. Might not be suitable for everyone. However, our stay was trouble-free and staff were all helpful and kind. Happy to stay here again.
Central location easy walk to the Tango shows and plenty of shops nearby.
We were able to leave our luggage after check out.
Quirky room layout with upstairs bed
Stayed here for 9 nights on a solo trip, was very clean and a very nice loft set up. Staff were friendly and very helpful with making recommendations of things to visit in the city, no fridge or safe in the room had to keep valuables on me while exploring the city. Aside from that the location is great. 5 miniute walk from plaza de mayo, 10 miniute walk from the city centre. There’s also a 24 hour grocery store 3 miniute walk away.
This is a good place to stay. Clean and nice, 24 hrs front desk.
Pros: location, big rooms and luggage storage.
Cons: Old building, no food allowed in the room.
Walking distance of the microcentro, nice restaurants and the subway.

I have mixed feelings about this property. The room was very clean, and the sheets were changed daily, so I had no concerns in that regard. The location was good, in a very safe neighborhood. If I were to go to Buenos Aires again, I would probably look for a hotel a little closer to Recoleta or Palmero, as those were my favorite neighborhoods.
Cleanliness and location would both merit five stars, in my estimation.
However, check-in was confusing. I had checked into my room online before arriving. When I got there, however, that didn't seem to matter. The staff really wanted me to check in with WhatsApp, which I don't use and didn't have on my phone. The staff spoke no English, and my Spanish isn't as good as it could be, adding to the difficulties. They eventually gave up and let me get into my room anyway.
When I got to my room, the air conditioner was off. I contacted the staff, and was told that I needed to turn it on with WhatsApp. They eventually turned it on for me. Once on, it continually dripped onto the nightstand. It wasn't too bad, so I just put a hand towel on the nightstand to muffle the dripping sound.
The air conditioner quit working at one point, and was off for almost a whole day. I don't really know why it quit working, but I was certainly glad when it started again.
In conclusion, if you've got WhatsApp, you should have a much better time working with the staff.
The location of this hotel is ideal! We loved being within walking distance of so many area attractions, restaurants and shopping. The building is interesting and artistic, very trendy. There are no exterior windows, which is a bit unnerving, but manageable.

The hotel was quite cute, in a very old style, but was not run down. The lifts had doors you need to manually close, which was pretty cool, although if someone forgets to close the doors when they leave, the lift will not operate until someone closes them, which could mean climbing 4 flights of stairs to your room.
The location is superb, next to a 24-hour Carrefour and the subway station, so it was quite convenient when travelling by subway. There is also a vehicle stop area right outside the hotel, which makes it super convenient to wait for Ubers.
The room was decently clean, and it had aircon, which was a god-sent in the BsAs heat. There is not much by way of amenities, but it was comfortable enough.
The staff were really unfriendly though, and didn't smile much and were not very helpful. The front door is always kept locked and you need to catch the attention of the receptionist to open the door, but they're not always at the front desk, so you may have to wait and knock on the door for a while before the receptionist appears. That wasn't great when we were rushing back to grab our bags to go to the airport..
