Beautiful property in an older building, and they have done an excellent job making this feel like a unique, artistic hotel. Bed was also comfortable, bathroom was clean, and staff were always present and friendly. Great upstairs terrrace and lots of areas to sit, work or just chill out. Very walkable area right out the door with good restaurants just a few blocks away.

The hotel has lots of character being a renovated antique home with very pleasant decor and rooftop sitting area. The staff super nice and friendly. The rooms very comfortable and an excellent safe neighborhood, walking distance to many dining and drinking options. The price was super good for what you get! I would stay there again. Loved the place all and all

It was a last minute booking after a flight was cancelled but the room has the shower openly a part of the bedroom, the toilet was in a cupboard under the staircase, it was dark, window to hallway and overall very tight. It was fine for one night only.

We often stay in Palermo when we are in Buenos Aires and this is the first time we have stayed at hotel Costa Rica. It was just lovely. The design was amazing and the hotel has a great vibe with a lovely rooftop terrace. Owner was super friendly

After reading a recent horrible review I thought that I had made a mistake booking a room at this hotel. I want to tell those who read reviews that the gentleman’s complaint was very unfair. The hotel is a gem if you like old time tradition. The pictures are true to reality, what you see is what you get. In my opinion it was beautiful. The coffee at the bar was delicious and I wish I had the time for an aperitif or glass of wine at the bar. Since this is a very unique and old building it is true that you may hear some noises from other guests but honestly it was no different than hearing the doors close in American hotels. If the pictures are appealing to you, you will not be disappointed!

Keep in mind this was and old house so hotel is kinda old. It was raining while I was there and the room I was had some leaks and immediately they upgraded my room. You have to understand the history of the building before comparing others but the staff response was always top class. Hotel is in Palermo area so you can walk everywhere with no issues. Small grocery stores are nearby so you can get your drinks to prep to go out and grab an Uber if you want. Dear fellow Americans: they offer American style breakfast but portions are normal 😄

Terrible rooms. No noise isolation, I could hear every person walking by. Very old mattress, very painful to sleep on. Very dirty rooms - this place should not be named “Hotel” or even “Motel”. Expedia should do some due-deligant here - the whole add and photos are a complete lie!!! Shame on this place, we could not sleep for two nights!

Very bad internet. Internet stopped working for two days. They told me it was the whole area but I asked their next door neighbor and the business across the street and they had internet. I had to change rooms three times. Very little hot water in all three rooms. Hot water would only last a couple of minutes and then get cold. Rain water making the floors slippery and dangerous. Not every room has a safe.

Very bohemian spot. Great access to restaurants and markets. Best part of stay was going to local grocery and picking up beer and wine and going to roof top terrace where we socialized with other guests. Staff wonderful and set us up for a very early airport trip.
