I have to say that everyone in our group was really very happy with our accommodations at BSP (Boutique Suite Palermo). What really made the difference was the staff guys. Jonathon and everyone in staff where very attentive to our needs whether we needed to change some money, setup some tours / excursions if just general recommendations on what to see or which restaurants to visit. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful; also, most desk staff speak English, Spanish and a combination of Italian and Portuguese as well.
Accommodations were very roomy as we had a King size bed, living area with TV, small area for drinks and a fridge and a desk as well to boot. The air conditioning worked great as well, which can be critical after spending all day exploring under the Buenos Aires sun.... Our particular room "Suite 14" had an outdoor private patio area that was large and great for hanging out as well.
Bathrooms were very clean and had a full shower, toilet, bidet and two (2) sinks as well; however room service was optional at a cost of $35 US per day if you want them to clean the room daily, otherwise it would be just once a week. No issues with asking for extra towels or toiletries as often as you like so that was very good. Style of the hotel is pretty modern with clean lines and they really use a lot of glass for natural light ing in all common areas of the hotel. Hotel also has a pool, gym and Spa which we did not really use but they are provided. So you are probably saying, Nelson how much did all this run? Well not much at all if you think of it.... Overall we paid $347 US + taxes for five (5) nights in the Buenos Aires Palermo Hollywood district which is extremely affordable. Exchange rates are very favorable to the US dollar and at least this week it was floating between $310 - $350 ARS per $1 US.
So can we get a drink at this hotel? Old question.... In the future, the hotel will be contracting out to open up their full bar, breakfast and lunch services again as those were unfortunately cancelled during the pandemic but should be coming soon from what I understand. Hotel had to shutdown for awhile during the pandemic as with a number of other smaller hotels in Buenos Aires. I believe they used to host a pretty mean Happy Hour for their guests at one point but we will have to put that to the test next time. LOL! In the interim though, they have a nice arrangement with a cafe just across the street called "Posta de Cafe" which worked out great for us. All guests of the hotel get a 10% discount off the bat; also, they open at 7:30 AM which is great for early risers. Read my review on "Posta de Cafe" if you like for more information.
Overall, we had a very, very nice experience at this hotel, it was very clean and again the staff were always very helpful. We will definitely be visiting them again next time we are in Buenos Aires. Wishing you all a great time in Argentina! Be safe and bonne chance mes amis! read more
