We had a wonderful stay at Poetry Building for just over a week in June. Having a well equipped kitchen was ideal for our group to manage breakfast, heat up leftovers, regularly make tea, etc. The room was very clean and charmingly decorated. The heat and AC units were very effective. It was really comforting to return to a cozy environment each day vs. a hotel room. The staff were warm, responsive and very helpful throughout our stay. Great home away from home. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel in Buenos Aires. The architecture is beautiful, with a classic belle epoque design that added a lot of charm and character to the overall experience. The location is excellent, conveniently close to major attractions, making it easy to explore the city on foot.

The kitchen was well equiped and allowed me to buy some local fruits and snacks throughout the week.

The service was also outstanding. Everything ran smoothly, and the staff ensured a comfortable and relaxing stay from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Buenos Aires.

We had a wonderful time at the Poetry Building and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well equipped room in the heart of Recoleta.

While there was construction happening on the building during our stay, the staff was truly exceptional, going out of their way to accommodate us with room upgrades further from the noise and anything else we needed to make our stay comfortable. They were also upfront and transparent about the construction which was very much appreciated. My friend and I were working remotely for the week from the hotel (so we were in our room during peak construction hours) and it really wasn't a bother at all.

I wanted to particularly say thank you to Sol and Noelí for all of your help and attention during our stay. They were so warm and friendly and would drop what they were doing to assist with anything we needed. Thank you again for everything!

This is one of the nicest and most unique places we’ve found on Expedia!
Great place with excellent decor and awesome rooms.
We chose a room with a loft. So unique and awesome! My wife loved it! Worth the extra few bucks to get the loft!!

The thing that really “made” our stay at the Poetry Building was the people that work there.
They were so helpful with giving us a few suggestions for things to see, what’s close (walkable), and what’s worth the trip across town for. Recommendations for culture, shopping, restaurants (steaks), and sweets (pastries).
Our trip was quick (3 days, and we had rain during them ☹️) but the staff gave us great ideas (and umbrellas!) that made our trip awesome!

This place IS the one to book for your Buenos Aries trip. Stop scrolling and book it!

Our stay at the Poetry Building was perfect. From checking in with Valentina to the 7 nights we stayed, our apartment was exactly what we had hoped for. We had private terrace and balcony spaces and a fully furnished apartment where we were able to prepare a few meals when we wanted. The pool and garden were great spaces for to relax with a glass of wine in after a long day of sightseeing. The staff at the Poetry Building were nice, friendly and very accommodating with helping us explore restaurant reservations, letting us borrow umbrellas and making some great overall suggestions.

The location was also great in the middle of Recoleta where we could walk almost anywhere we wanted to explore the city.

A few blocks away from Sante Fe Ave, where it was easy to catch a taxi and also a few blocks away from the Subte, which made our stay very convenient.

Highly recommend a stay with Poetry Building, you won’t regret it!

This hotel is a perfect combination of hotel and apartment. The 1 bedroom I was in was cozy but modern and had all the necessary amenities, including wi-fi and smart TV (netflix, etc...). Another added plus was the cell phone they lend along with the room. Great to have for making my own calls in the city as my iphone was not so handy there.
The hotel is in a perfect location for walking in the Recoleta. Not too far to walk to Palermo and MALBA. Great shopping, cafes, pastry shops, take out Argentinian and public transportation right around the corner. There's also a supermarket around the block. The staff, especially Paula, were very accommodating and helpful. They all speak English very well, if needed. Maid service and laundry is available. They can also change money and provide transportation to/from the airport. Communication from them before the trip was great. There is a peaceful, \"zen\" quality to the place, with a small pool on the 4th floor with self-serve beer/wine/other drinks and a rooftop organic garden as well.

Live like the beautiful people of BUenos Aires

Upon arrival we had been given the wrong room but this was remedied quickly. This unassuming hotel is better described as an apartment type hotel due to its large rooms and kitchenettes. The cleanliness was great and the staff were well-trained and welcoming. The decor and ambiance were incredible, so much so we had difficulty leaving the room to explore. Many try to excecute this modern / antique blend of design but most fall short. Poetry building is on point and puts much thought to every detail. A few little minor upkeep items with the hard wear n tear done by guests seem to be addressed timely. Lots of dining options nearby.

Special small hotel @Recoleta &outstanding service

Despite all very good comments I've read before choosing Poetry Building, I've a very positive surprise with my stay .

Everything started before our stay. We receive an email contact from the hotel team Irina and Paula, helping us with the transfer and they also offered us to buy some groceries items in advance and put it on the refrigerator of our room before our stay. As we're traveling with kids, it helped a lot !

Talking about the stay ...

The room is spacious, comfortable and very well decorated . The apartment has also a small kitchen that is really nice. And when we arrived at the room , there was a Good Malbec wine as a hotelgift

On our first day of stay it was the SuperBowl day. So the owners organized an small event for guests at the rooftop with the game project on the wall of the building besides

The team always was ready to help us on tips for good places to go, help with taxis and transfers. The rooms was always clean.

The pool on the rooftop is really a plus, specially in summer. At the roof top they've also an \" honor bar\" , where you can pick up soft drinks, snacks, beers and just deposit the money on a safe box .

Last but not least, as they realize that our room would not be booked at the day we leave, they just offered us a late checkout before we request it . And as our flight to Bariloche was at early evening, it helped a lot .

In resume an special gem in Recoleta area with outstanding service . For sure we'll be back there when in Buenos Aires

The architecture and the interior design shows the French influence, it reminded me of New Orleans. There is a nice lounge area on the fourth floor with a dipping pool. The roof has an exceptional working garden, a real delight! This was a great place to spend our five days in Buenos Aires.

Spacious apartment type boutique hotel

This boutique hotel is newly designed and results from the combo of 2 previous homes. When you enter the room you are apt to pause and say \"wow\". Ours we a tri-level: Bedroom and full bath on top with the TV (only TV), the lower floor with LR, dining area, toilet, and kitchen (furnished). The middle is the landing area. Floors are cement and the bed is low to the floor but very comfortable. Furniture is tasteful - mostly redecorated or refurbished pieces from the local area. Tastefully done and homey. Slight modern tone. There is no reception desk but a small table staffed with polite, well spoken, and very helpful personnel that drops everything to provide assistance. No restaurant but rooms are provided with guidance on local restaurants, laundry services, cars, guides, etc. Hotel has 2 locked doors to the street to provide additional security. The location is excellent situated walking distance from Recoleta cemetery. A mall is also near by. I would encourage anyone to consider this hotel - particularly families.

Our favorite place in Buenos Aires

This is the second time I stay with my family at the Poetry Building, and once again, we had a remarkable experience. The building and facilities are great, and the staff attention is also top notch. The location, at the heart of Recoleta, is just perfect, and close to most attractions. The only negative point is the lack of breakfast, but since all rooms have a kitchenette and means to prepare coffee and tea (provided), and the bakery next door opens everyday, this is really a minor problem.

Looking forward to returning to BA just to stay at the Poetry once again. Highly recommended!!

Tastefully decorated loft

We had a great stay at a poetry. Excellent staff, very accommodating. They made sure we had a good stay. The loft was tastefully decorated. Very unique. However, the building and the bathroom was smelling. Bathroom needs a major upgrade. The tiles in the bathroom was falling apart and bathtub was not cleaned properly.

Great service, beautiful room, nice location

My experience was just fabulous. We stayed there for a total of 4 nights. Staff, especially Irina, were super helpful and all recommendations were great. From the start they send a whole packet of useful info. Then they will receive you with a nice bottle of wine in your room and assist in reservations and whatever questions you may have. They even assisted in changing $ at good rate. Room was in good condition and clean. I would definitely stay there again.

Like having your own apartment in Buenos Aires

The Poetry Building was the perfect place for our first stay in Buenos Aires. The location in the Recoleta neighborhood was great for a short walk/cab ride to all of the sights we wanted to explore. The \"room\" itself was really more like a nicely decorated, modern one-bedroom apartment with a separate sitting area and kitchen. The relatively small number of units at the Poetry combined with the fantastic hospitality of the on-site staff (Irina and Ken were great!!) made the whole place feel like a little home away from home.

When you add-in the balcony overlooking Junin street, the IPod w/ tunes in the bedroom, the complimentary bottle of nice Malbec, in-room WiFi, the uniqueness of the decor, the availability of great pastries, snacks and groceries within 20 meters (literally) of the front of the building.......and on and on. Short version of this review: the Poetry is our first choice to stay when we return to Buenos Aires.

Beautiful apartment with character in good area

This was a good base from which to explore Buenos Aires. The apartment was pleasingly decorated and had period furniture. The staff were exceptionally helpful. The only downside was the pull-out sofabed, which was not ideal for our two teenage boys to share.

Convenience and Hospitality

It was a great place to stay. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and chocolates. It was really nice having a kitchen complete with tea and coffee. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was wonderful. There was a bakery three doors down, a large grocery store around the corner, as well as small restaurants right near by. They accommodated our need for a late check out which made it much more comfortable, as our flight left at 11 p.m.

Excellent location, close to Recoleta Cemetery

A super stay - we liked having a kitchen to make tea/coffee each morning, as well as cooking for dinner in one night. The staff were extremely helpful and the room was delightful, complete with a loaded iPod and cellphone for our use during the stay. The room was lovely - on two floors and a nice seating area. Very reasonably priced as well. We recommend it highly.

Wonderful Option in BA

I just spent 10 days in the Poetry hotel with my wife and little girl and we had a great stay. The people who work at Poetry are super accommodating and helped us with whatever we needed - from restaurant recommendations, to setting up a crib for our child to arranging a trip to an Estancia or Polo. The rooms themselves are pretty large (we stayed in 1B and 3B) - it is worth checking out their website and talking with them to get the exact room you want. The wifi connection was solid and it was nice to have a small kitchen with a coffeemaker and fridge. Highly recommended!

perfect setting

Poetry is a botique Hotel and was in a perfect location. We had wonderful places to eat right in the surrounding blocks and the neighborhood is very safe. Rates were good. There was a kitchenette which would be handy for some although we always ate out. There was a free cell phone for use on the table and a docking station for music if you brought your ipad or iphone. We loved this little hotel and enjoyed our room because it had a loft with a separate bed for my daughter. Nothing amiss. Great place. Would and have recommended it to others.
