Which Boutique Hotel in Buenos Aires??
 
My husband and I are spending 4 night in Buenos Aires in November and I can't decide on which boutique hotel....I have been looking at bobo, Tailor Made and Mine!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much

The hotels you have listed are in two different neighborhoods, both trendy. The Tailor Made hotel is in Las Cañitas. The other two options are in Palermo Viejo/Soho. Las Cañitas will have fewer tourists, which I see as a plus...

We stayed at Bobo, and I really liked it. THe rooms are just as pictured and not large. I would not select a room on the first (our 2nd) floor, as you would hear the bar noise.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, even showed us fake currency so we'd be on guard.

Hi,
I have a friend who was living in Artfactory Hostel. Is a very nice pace with a grate art in all the walls. And the people there is very friendly.

bon voyage

gordex, you used to advertise the Gardenhouse Hostel in San Telmo, did they change their name to ArtFactory?


I will add my vote to Tailor Made, Las Canitas ..

Hi, see below my review on Fodor's after staying at Bobo on June 6 and 7.

"I spent the nights of June 6 and 7, 2009 at Bobo, and stayed at the minimalist room (number 3). My first impression of the hotel was poor, having arrived in town at 3 pm on Saturday, and being unable to get some rest in the room due to the drilling and hammering going on next door. I would have appreciated the staff warning me about this fact at the time of making the booking. The noise can be extremely loud, and is supposed to continue for a while (I checked with the front desk as to when they expected the construction work to be over). A second element that reduced my enthusiasm for the hotel was the poorly made bed (wrinkled sheets included), the low quality of the towels and bath robes provided, and the fact that the housekeepers did not provide me during my stay with shower caps and on one occasion even forgot to leave soap. On the positive side, the front desk staff were extremely helpful and pleasant."
