Location was nice and safe. Staff wasn’t the friendliest. Room was nice, clean, with AC. Asked for towels multiple times and never got them. Checking in/out was fast and easy.

Overall good value for money. Location is excellent with safety and good and numerous dining options close by. Staff was courteous and helpful. The rooms are neat but small with basic facility. There is no fridge and any English TV channel. Bathroom shower had a door missing so had to have a towel there to avoid water spilling all over also the bathroom door refused to close. Breakfast had limited options but tasty.

Good location and good value
Great location near San Telmo, although it was noisy every night / early hours being opposite a bar. Overall for value of money it was a good choice, though the bathroom is tiny and definitely needs an upgrade. The room is modern but basic.

Nice studio rental for the price
This studio apartment is very nice. It is very clean, the bed was comfortable and TV had a couple of English speaking channels. It's about 5 minutes from the center of Bariloche. Very limited English was spoken by the woman that greeted me. The host was only available by WhatsApp. The studio is a bit dark and looks into another building across the street. Towels were not changed during the 6 nights I was there. Bathroom sink very slowly drained. Kitchen was small but functional. For the price though, the rental was a good deal.

Hi, this comment doesn't refer to Bohemia Hotel, as we are in Buenos Aires, and we have suites not studios.

Very average hotel and service
Upon arrival, I was told that there were electricity problems throughout the building because of a recent storm, so some plugs/lights in some of the rooms weren't working, which I understood to be outside of the hotel's control. I was initially put in a room with no working plugs - having told the receptionist, he offered to put me in another room. Unfortunately, this took well over an hour, despite constantly being assured that it would be within minutes. This was just an example of the ineffective and sub-par service which I received throughout my stay. The room itself was fine & clean, despite the overall decor being very bland and characterless. Breakfast was average (toast, cereal), but the addition of fresh fruit on one of the days was welcomed.

The only good thing: Personnel is GREAT. This visit was my worse stay by far. Faucet in the bathroom was leaking leaving a small pond on the floor, had to use the towels I got in order to avoid water to get into the room. I notified this problem the first day but the maintenance never arrived after the three days I was there despite the fact that I witnessed that the clerk called the first day. For safety reasons Lobby door is always locked, you have to ring a bell in order to get in, and somebody must be at the desk. The problem is that you cannot leave either, is nobody is at the Lobby's desk and you need to leave because your Taxi arrived you may need to pray for somebody to unlock the door before your car leaves. Do not want to imagine what could happen if there is a fire or any other hazard inside the Hotel, you may be trapped. From now on I will look to stay some place else and I will miss the nice people that is always willing to help.

Used to be better
With one exception the staff was very nice, as it used to be. The Chef is excellent and is always looking for ways to please the Customer. The bathroom for room 111 does not have enough room in order to move freely due to a hair dryer that takes 1/4th of the clearance. I could not reach the lavatory in order to brush my teeth without hitting the appliance and it consistently felt. The first day towels were not changed and on my last night there was not hot water until 8 AM due to some internal issue.

Couple happy with their stay
We stayed for 4 nights and were happy with our choice. Best feature for us was location - loved being in San Telmo area with lots of restaurants, and easy to walk everywhere. 24 hour reception staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was basic but still filling and with enough choice. we didn't use the restaurant/bar downstairs but it was nice to know it was there and we were not distrubed by it. Happy with what we got for the good price, and only critism would be that our room stated garden view, which we got, but it wasn't much of a garden at all.

A surprising little gem.
The Bohemia Buenos Aires Hotel delivers more than you pay for. From the generous buffet breakfast served in the bar that opens onto a wonderful hidden garden to the engagingly gritty San Telmo neighbourhood crowded with varied and excellent restaurants in which it is located, this unassuming hotel reminds you why travel can be so much fun. As a bonus, the rates are economical and the staff unobtrusive, friendly and helpful.

Bohemia BA Hotel
I've choose Bohemia Hotel based on other customer reviews, location, cost, and my runaway needs. The Bohemia is located in San Telme within a few blocks (7-10 min walk) from major metro station, Puerto Madera, and other centrally located venues. The hotel neighborhood looks vintage/classic/50's style, safe, convenient....the super friendly hotel staff can provide you with anything you'd like and need to know about the BA. The rooms is cozy, and it has basic needs - clean bathroom, comfy bed, clean sheets and towels, wi-fi. The breakfast was also what you need to send you to the streets of BA. Next time, I visit BA and Boca Republic, shall definitely stay at Bohemia Hotel.

Good Hotel, great location, Excellent and Staff
I returned to this Hotel every year since 2012. This is Facility is located in San Telmo. Close to very good restaurants and historic places like Plaza de Mayo. The facility is very well maintained, rooms are clean and the staff is excellent. There are some things you need to know and are probably opportunities for the Hotel to improve. Hot water doesn't seem to have a pump circulating system and you need to leave the shower running for even some minutes in order to get the proper temperature. The Lobby is always locked so you have to arrive ring the bell and if it is already night probably wait a couple of minutes until you get the door opened. The Breakfast Buffet is well presented and have plenty of options.

Comfortable, fresh bake pastries
Friendly staff, upon checking into room found out that they did not provide us with a cot, as we have specifically requested during time of booking. Soon after when we ask the reception they said it's too late and can only arrange the next day. The following day we only received a traveling cot which is not ideal. Place is clean and breakfast is excellent, delicious pastries, considering the price we pay.
Dear guest, Thanks for your comments. They are very important to us. We will take your words to understand why your request was not ready. We appreciate your words again and we are pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay with us. We wait for you again.

The hotel staff was very accommodating and the lobby is very well-kept. Breakfast was delicious and their garden areas are beautiful. The only con was the bathroom shower--there was no containment for the water and so it splashed everywhere in the bathroom. It seemed strange.

This is not a Boutique Hotel, just a small hotel.
English speaking personel is very limited, and their reponse back was allways in spanish. The area where the hotel is located is very runned down, but it's a short walk to the San Telmo Market, Plaza de Mayo, Avenida Florida, etc. We only stayed a few night, so it was ok. But I would not reccomend this hotel. I'd rather pay little extra money and get a better location.

Good boutique hotel in San Telmo
We spent 5 days in Buenos Aires and found it easy to get around from the hotel, by foot, bus or subway. Supermarket nearby, lots of restaurant choices, amazing Sunday market in the area that went on for many blocks.

5 days in San Telmo neighborhood
Our first time in Argentina. Came directly from seaport to hotel in evening, about 10 min ride via taxi. At first thought it was a bit ghetto neighborhood, but later realize you are only 5 mins from San Telmo square, 10 mins walking from the pink house, and 20 mins walking from all major tourist sites. Good location. Room clean, remodeled shower. Only drawback ther, floor will be a bit wet after you shower. Breakfast includes pastier its, medialunas, ham cheese, orange juice tea, coffee, fruit salad, yogurt...able to make sandwiches for the road or tours in the city to go...most staff speaks English...medialunas were the best quality and dulce de Leche was awesome too...I'd sty there again given the price bs all the amenities including wifi!

Nice for what I paid
It was a good experience, that's what I can say. They changed my room for one on the first floor as they don't have elevator and I had heavy suitcases. The only thing is that it was a double room with single beds so that's probably the only thing that I can kinda complain about. But probably I can't get everything. The breakfast was great. I had a good amount to delicious food. It was very good in general, I would recommend it.

The hotel was located close to the main plaza Dorrega ? and the antique shops and markets in San Telmo . Good location but shame about the condition of the hotel ( I'm not sure what Boutique is suppose to mean ? . I think it means exclusive / one off / unusual ) . In this case it probably means, shabby, outdated, looks like an old converted school / government building etc . The location of the hotel was good , but the hotel needs a complete overhaul / refurb.

Great boutique hotel
I thought this was a great little hotel. The staff were very helpful, the area great if you're staying over the weekend. Sundays in San Telmo are AWESOME. Another lovely area is Ricoletta - I'd stay in either of these in Buenos Aires. The rooms were very clean and neat, it wasn't fancy but the breakfasts were good, the internet worked well. My friend who was a bit taller found the beds a little small, however I found the beds fine. Very good value for money.

The rooms were small and the neighbourhood looks a bit suspect, but this hotel was comfortable, the breakfasts fine and the staff were terrific. We walked around the streets in the evening and went to restaurants by foot - as long as you are sensible you won't have a problem.

A wonderful hotel in San Telmo
At first I wasn't sure what to think of a "Boutique" hotel, but I must admit it surpassed all my expectations. Extremely clean and very well renovated, it had all the ammenities of a new hotel with all the charm of being right where the action is. Not to mention charmingly antique in its choice of old skeleton keys for the rooms. I know, they're probably original but my children really found it different than the same old card keys. The breakfast was great and we found it fabulous to actually stay in a hotel in a real neighborhood for once instead of staying at the old familiar "touristy" hotels. We were the only family there but they treated us very well. Favored by many businessmen.

Avoid this hotel- they have bedmite infestation
We stayed in room 111 the first night. We were viciously attacked by bedmites. My husband counted 182 bites all over my body. The hotel management changed us to room 209 for the second night and we were again attached by bedmites. Even my husband who normally does not get bothered by insect bites had many bites and itched a lot. Needless to say, we cancelled our reservation for the other days we had in this hotel. The whole trip in Argentina I had to be going to the pharmacy to get medicated creams and pills to take internally to combat the terrible state I was left in after our stay in this hotel. I am back to the states and my arms still look terrible with all the marks from the bites.
