PATIOS DE SAN TELMO

The hotel is well placed, Rooms are fine and the staff extremly friendly and helpfull. We wouldn't hesitate to book this hotel next time we are back in BA. Breakfast is ok, but could be improved to include eggs.

I recently stayed for 2 nights in Patios de San Telmo. I was thankful that their staff at the reception was so warm and friendly as I had a long haul flight of 20 hours just to reach Buenos Aires. My taxi cab driver knows the location and glad to find out it's just located at one of the streets in San Telmo, very near or just walking distance away from mini groceries, restaurants, and even the main roads. The hotel was generally homey, and non-intimidating. Lots of creative stuff too to appreciate! It's fascinating to say the least. I was informed by one of the receptionists that although the hotel is only 4 years in existence, the building has been there for 200 years, and has been renovated into what it is now - so original pieces from the old building like wooden doors and some panels were used and incorporated to Patios de San Telmo. Very interesting actually! The entire appeal of the hotel was welcoming! Although it's quite a long walk to the Metro, I enjoyed strolling from Patios de San Telmo to Peru street, down to Avenida de Mayo. It's about half hour of leisurely walk, where I enjoyed seeing the local scenes and architecture in this quaint part of Buenos Aires. The famous Mercado de San Telmo is just a few blocks away and could be reached by foot in about 3 or 5 minute walk. Staff at the reception were friendly, fluent in English, and informative. They informed me where to go, where to walk and what to see while I was in BA. Breakfast buffet was more than I expected. It's satisfying and delicious. The room was spacious for a solo traveler like me. Very clean, and quiet. I was appointed at the second floor, hence, I was able to see the swimming pool at the roof deck. The best part of Patios de San Telmo is their mini library at the mezzanine just a floor above the reception. It's quaint with inviting chairs and a window to peek at the street. I only wish they would provide slippers for the guests, although I am also to blame because I did not ask (if they provide or if slippers are available for guests). Over all, I enjoyed my stay in stay in Patios de San Telmo and thankfully, I chose them over other available hotels and accommodation in the area.

We stayed here on two occasions and liked it both times. The front staff were so friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and tidy, as were the bathrooms. The room facing the courtyard was very quiet, but the room facing the road was a bit noisy, if you left the window open. The breakfast was good. The location of the hotel is good, walking distance to the centre of BA, Puerto Madera and San Telmo square. Really good restaurant just around the corner. The hotel also has a nice lounge area with a computer, sadly we only found this out on our last day. Wifi was good in the front room, not so strong in the back rooms.

Our travel agent booked this for us on a 3 night stay in BA en route to Europe. While it had charm and an interesting layout the bathroom was too small and a bit tired. However the staff were great both at reception and in the little attached cafe.

The staff is very nice and friendly, nice rooms and quiet halls. It has a pool but I didn't get to see it as I only stayed 2 days and was mostly out . I enjoyed syaying here and would come back. The internet is good but not great.
