Hôtel et personnel sympas

L'hôtel et le personnel sont très bien. 2 bémols : pas de télé dans la chambre et pas de porte de séparation entre la chambre et la salle de bain/wc.

The staff were very friendly, available, and helpful. Everything was clean and as a very old property, it has a lot of character. We have never stayed anywhere like it and would definitely go back.

Incrível hospedagem

Incrível! O café da manhã é muito bom, a cama é confortável, o atendimento dos recepcionista é sensacional sempre solícitos e de prontidão para ajudar e solucionar problemas. Só necessitam melhorar a vedação do box, mas o recepcionista sempre esteve la para me ajudar com o problema da vazão de água. Volto com certeza!

Excellent hotel in Palermo for the price

Super hotel for the price. Bathroom was large and shower worked great. The light wasn't really strong, so shaving was difficult. The heater worked well but was noisy. I was also at the front of the property and the traffic was noisy because it's in a cobble street. Luckily there were not many cars in the wee hours. Staff were all very welcoming, helpful, and friendly.

A little calm oasis in the middle of the city

The hotel was very nice, excellent service in a very well remodeled beginning of the XX century house.

BEST HOTEL IN ARGENTINA. This was the nicest place I stayed in a month of travelling around Argentina. Clean, nice rooms, great aircon. Simple and basic, but inclusive breakfast for all guests. Jan and his team run a tight ship. Friendly helpful staff. Great location in beautiful safe Palermo. Good restaurants close by Gorgeous roof terrace for chilled relaxing evenings too. I would definitely recommending spending a few dollars more for one of the nicer larger rooms with high ceilings, and en suite bathroom. Most rooms have en suite anyway. Well worth it

Hotel Costa Rica gets an 11 on a scale of 10!! We absolutely recommend to ANYONE. Hotel staff went above and beyond to help us with everything from directions to straightening out a booking situation gone terribly wrong. Antonio, Mariana and Franco were our guardian angels!

Good start for BA

Geeat stay in Palermo. The staff were friendly and the rooms were tidy. The hotel is quite and designed well. The breakfast is not rich but OK, there is a cool close rooftop to chill at, and they are nearby the center area of Palermo.

6/10 Good

Basic property but in a great location. Room was small but was as described. Included breakfast was a disappointment being mostly pastries and bread. Check-out was 10am, which is absurdly early. Bed was comfortable and staff was friendly enough. If you are just looking for a place to store your stuff and sleep for a short stay, this place is fine.

A decent place for a couple nights

A perfectly nice place to stay; but nothing special. The place seemed weirdly empty which felt strange. But the room was as shown though a bit less spacious and the staff were kind.

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.
