Great option for families! The hotel has a unique charm and comfortably accommodates four guests. The second bed is a sofa bed, which worked perfectly for us with our child—plenty of space and very practical. Location is excellent: just steps away from markets, restaurants, and the Evita Cemetery. No breakfast included, but the room comes with a mini fridge and cooking essentials, so preparing simple meals was easy and convenient. It’s a smart choice for travelers who value location and functionality without breaking the bank.
Apassionata Tango Hotel
The overall experience was fantastic, though the check-in moment wasn’t ideal. I arrived at 4 PM for check-in, but no staff were available to open the door—no one around at all. There were some explanations afterward, but that initial delay left a less-than-perfect first impression. However, everything else more than made up for it. The room was stunning—elegant, stylish, and full of character. Every detail felt intentional and well thought out. Carlos, the staff member I interacted with, was incredibly kind and helpful, making the stay feel warm and personal. The hotel’s location is excellent—just a short walk from the main attractions and public transport. It’s clear this place puts effort into creating a memorable experience. Despite the slow start, I’d absolutely stay here again.

Staying at Duque Hotel Boutique & Spa was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just steps away from major transport routes and city attractions, making everything super accessible. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—always smiling, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. The only small suggestions would be to improve the quality of the orange juice at breakfast and include disposable tissues (Kleenex) in the room along with a larger trash can. Everything else was outstanding. This hotel truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and charm. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Buenos Aires—excellent value and a standout experience!

I was completely blown away by the atmosphere: peaceful, intimate, yet still within easy reach of the city’s best spots. Walking distance to great restaurants and cultural gems made exploring effortless. This place offers something rare: luxury with soul, and an experience you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for authenticity, charm, and a touch of cinematic elegance, this is your spot. 10/10—would book again in a heartbeat.

Staying at Posada Gotan was an unexpectedly delightful experience. The attention to detail in the décor is truly impressive—every corner feels thoughtfully curated, not like a generic retro-style hotel but something uniquely authentic. The owner clearly has a deep passion for history and art, which shines through in every element of the property. It’s cozy, charming, and full of character—exactly the kind of place you’d want to escape from the city buzz for a while. While it’s slightly off the main tourist strip, it’s still easily accessible via public transit, and the quiet neighborhood adds to the peaceful vibe. Plus, the owner speaks English fluently, making communication smooth and welcoming. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a memorable stay with soul.

Esplendor by Wyndham Buenos Aires Tango
We checked in late and completely exhausted, so my review is based solely on the room experience. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the room was spotlessly clean. The shower area has a stunning design, and the TV wall decoration stands out with its unique style—definitely a nice touch. Unfortunately, we had to check out early the next morning, so we missed breakfast. That said, the check-in process was quick and smooth—the staff member was professional, friendly, and clearly knew her job (I didn’t catch her name, but she was very pretty too!). She even offered some suggestions for nearby attractions, but we were just too tired to explore. Despite that, the overall experience was excellent. The hotel feels modern, well-maintained, and full of character. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Buenos Aires.
Loi Flats Buenos Aires
Staying at Loi Flats in Buenos Aires was a fantastic experience. The location in the heart of Microcentro is unbeatable—just a short walk to iconic spots like the Obelisco, Florida Street, 9 de Julio Avenue, and Galerías Pacífico. The room itself is perfectly sized with smart design that maximizes comfort and functionality. Everything felt fresh and well-maintained: the bedding was cozy, towels were soft and plentiful, the shower delivered strong pressure, and the air conditioning worked flawlessly. The TV, mini-fridge, and electric kettle were all high-quality and added real convenience. It’s rare to find such a great balance between price, comfort, and location—this place truly delivers on every front. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
