The neighbourhood is wonderful, with good eating choices, grocery stores, a beer bar, all within a block. Easy access to the metro stop, etc. Could not be a better location. A bit noisy due to traffic, barking dog, etc. but nothing surprising for a downtown location.

Hotel is very convenient to shops and restaurants in a very private area of Buenos Aires. The design is very attractive. Unfortunately, quite a bit of the property needs repair. Mini split leaking on wood floor. Horrible smoke smell in my mother's room that I made staff aware of from previous guest. They were unaffected and didn't address. Mildew all over shower. Needs a good cleaning. Shower is extremely slippery. Great for the neighborhood but expect substantial wear in comparison to images on Google.

Given this property was recommended amongst \"boutique hotels\" for Buenos Aires,I think this hotel is rather basic.
The rooms and features of the hotel are nicely done, but that's about it.
- breakfast is nice/ decent and the staff in the restaurant are super friendly.
- the receptionists act merely as door openers/ button pushers. The check in was functional, but pleasantries were kept to a minimum. The one night I had asked for help with changing a restaurant booking, I got a big sigh followed by \"it won't be that easy\" (which it turned out it was). I don't need a red carpet, but let's put it this way: it was easier and more pleasant NOT to interact with the reception staff than getting anything helpful out of them.
The hotel was heavily reduced due to the construction site next door, which i think makes the price fair and overall a good value for money. However, any price increase would need to be aligned with the retraining of the entire reception staff (it's otherwise 3 star at it's best, despite the made to look good decor)

Good, with TLC could be excellent

On arrival the lift failed and we were left in reception for nearly three quarters of an hour on a hot evening without knowing when we would gain access to our room. Receptionist alone and called lift man but left waiting with bags. Room lovely. Nicely decorated and equipped. Super coffee bag.Bathroom needed new loo seat. Fabulous breakfast with fruit salad and yoghurt as well as cooked and bakery range. Kind receptionist allowed us to leave our bags on day of departure!

Being ear plugs

Bring your ear plugs. Yes, there was construction in the hotel while we're there but even absent that construction. The room was very noisy from outside traffic, cars, people, music, etc. They really should think about offering ear plugs to all of the people who stay.

Quaint, artful -- not for those who fuss over every convenience. This is a relaxed, artistic setting in a good location. For those who want lots of room and all the accoutrements, this place isn't for you. This place is charm, really nice people, beautiful, \"old Europe\" like most of Buenos Aires. And great breakfasts. Argentina doesn't do coffee well so afficionados like me need Starbucks, but this place also does tea.

Worn down hotel

This hotel was worn down and had seen better days. Photos like better than reality. We changed rooms three times. The first room was next to the elevator. The second room didn’t have a functional phone or safe deposit box. In the third room at night, the toilet fixture to flush suddenly flew off the wall. The bed was OK, the front desk people friendly. Coffee wasn’t good. The location, however, was fabulous with restaurants and shops nearby. But I wouldn’t stay here again.

I have to confess that my first impression of this hotel was far from positive, mainly because I arrived early in the morning before sunrise and found the reception and other public areas quite underwhelming and in need of a bit of a facelift. But within a few hours I fell in love with Hotel Clasico! It's a perfect hotel in a charming neighbourhood near all kinds of Buenos Aires attractions and close to some amazing places to eat and drink. The rooms are lovely, with nice balconies and comfy beds.

Good location, but very rundown property. I was unable to sleep the first night because the air conditioning was dripping water on the bed. When reported, I was offered a room on the first floor, which was extremely noisy to sleep in. Hotel is on top of a few restaurants.

The service I received at breakfast was borderline with offensive.

I would not go back to this hotel, having so many other very good options to choose from.

Loved this hotel! Perfect smaller hotel in a nice location in Palermo. could easily head out walking to many nice areas, restaurants, coffee shops etc...Not a real loud or touristy feeling spot, but still 'active' and fun! Loved the front desk hosts. Breakfast was a basic argentinian type...a bit of eggs and ever typical 'jamon y queso' sandwich...Highly recommend this great spot.

Great service! Breakfast included and is made to order. It is walking distance to the Subte station. The only complaint is the in-room fridge didn't work but the staff stored my stuff in the kitchen downstairs so it was fine.

Stylish boutique hotel in BA

Very nice boutique hotel in BA - very good service and stylish, comfortable rooms. Breakfast at the adjoining restaurant was very good, beyond the usual buffet. Only downsides: noise travels easily between rooms and we had some neighbours who wanted to party, and the front door which needs to be opened by the staff each time, and you can stand there waiting to come in if they don’t notice you.

It was not a buffé but you could order specific dishes which was really good. The staff was helpful and accomodating.
