Hidden gem in Palermo soho
At first glance it doesn’t look exciting but it’s amazing small hotel in a great walking district of Buenos atirs. You feel transported to a different era. Lots of lounges and comfy seats. Very pleasant staff … helpful. Bed was comfy.

6/10 Good

Good hotel, simple setting but with charm
The key question whether you like this hotel or not is whether you see the glass as half full or halv empty. It is a simple hotel, rooms are even more simpler, but everything was functioning well in the room and it was clean, but with ample “patina”. Breakfast is quite light. Regarding noise it is full transparency to the corridor so bring earplugs. Location is good and the staff is very friendly. Given the price I paid I was overall satisfied.

4/10 Fair

It was a last minute booking after a flight was cancelled but the room has the shower openly a part of the bedroom, the toilet was in a cupboard under the staircase, it was dark, window to hallway and overall very tight. It was fine for one night only.

Hidden Gem
We often stay in Palermo when we are in Buenos Aires and this is the first time we have stayed at hotel Costa Rica. It was just lovely. The design was amazing and the hotel has a great vibe with a lovely rooftop terrace. Owner was super friendly

10/10 Exceptional

After reading a recent horrible review I thought that I had made a mistake booking a room at this hotel. I want to tell those who read reviews that the gentleman’s complaint was very unfair. The hotel is a gem if you like old time tradition. The pictures are true to reality, what you see is what you get. In my opinion it was beautiful. The coffee at the bar was delicious and I wish I had the time for an aperitif or glass of wine at the bar. Since this is a very unique and old building it is true that you may hear some noises from other guests but honestly it was no different than hearing the doors close in American hotels. If the pictures are appealing to you, you will not be disappointed!

Keep in mind this was and old house so hotel is kinda old. It was raining while I was there and the room I was had some leaks and immediately they upgraded my room. You have to understand the history of the building before comparing others but the staff response was always top class. Hotel is in Palermo area so you can walk everywhere with no issues. Small grocery stores are nearby so you can get your drinks to prep to go out and grab an Uber if you want. Dear fellow Americans: they offer American style breakfast but portions are normal 😄

2/10 Poor

Terrible rooms. No noise isolation, I could hear every person walking by. Very old mattress, very painful to sleep on. Very dirty rooms - this place should not be named “Hotel” or even “Motel”. Expedia should do some due-deligant here - the whole add and photos are a complete lie!!! Shame on this place, we could not sleep for two nights!

2/10 Poor

Very bad internet. Internet stopped working for two days. They told me it was the whole area but I asked their next door neighbor and the business across the street and they had internet. I had to change rooms three times. Very little hot water in all three rooms. Hot water would only last a couple of minutes and then get cold. Rain water making the floors slippery and dangerous. Not every room has a safe.

Very bohemian spot. Great access to restaurants and markets. Best part of stay was going to local grocery and picking up beer and wine and going to roof top terrace where we socialized with other guests. Staff wonderful and set us up for a very early airport trip.
