In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Exceptional service and hospitality — Guests consistently highlight the friendly, helpful staff, from the couple who run the B&B to the wider team. The service is described as the best some travellers have experienced.
  • Memorable breakfast — One guest calls it 'probably the best breakfast I have ever seen in any hotel', and others mention it as a highlight. It's a core part of the stay.
  • Great San Telmo location — Plaza Dorrego is a 5-minute walk, with restaurants nearby on Caseros and Estados Unidos, plus good bus connections to La Boca, Retiro, and Palermo.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Simple, not luxurious — The hotel is an old building that's clean and well maintained, but it doesn't offer luxury amenities or finishes. Guests should expect a modest, characterful stay.
  • Some rooms have small bathrooms — One guest noted the bathroom in apartment #309 KURT was on the small side. If bathroom space matters, it's worth asking about room specifics.
  • Not ideal for business stays — One review notes the hotel is 'suitable for short vacations but not for business', likely due to the relaxed, residential feel.

“The building is really cool with lots of unique touches, and the staff are incredibly nice and helpful. All the outdoor spaces make you want to explore.”

7.7Verified guest

“Excellent service – everyone was helpful and friendly. Probably the best breakfast I've ever had in a hotel, and I've stayed in many. Best for short vacations, not business. The suite with the private terrace is something to see. Don't expect luxury – it's a simple hotel, but clean and well kept despite the old construction. Location in San Telmo is good enough. Hard to find better service anywhere else.”

“The couple who run this little B&B are lovely, and the space and building are incredible. Very comfortable – a great place to stay.”

7.7Verified guest

“Location is great, with nice restaurants within walking distance, like on Caseros or Estados Unidos. Dorrego square is a 5-minute walk, and there's a good bus connection to La Boca, Retiro, and Palermo. Good breakfast, friendly staff, good air conditioning, and a nice public area with Wi-Fi. We stayed in apartment #309 KURT, where the bathroom was a bit small. We also stayed one night at the sister Bonito Boutique hotel in Monserrat – nice rooms, but we preferred the San Telmo district.”
