8/10 Very Good

Perfect location for a stay in Buenos Aires, right in the center of the historic neighborhood of San Telmo and just blocks away from Casa Rosada, Obelisco and Puerto Madero. It is not a luxury hotel, so if you are expecting that this is not the place for you. It has however a wonderful, quiet environment, cozy and welcoming, and a very helpful staff. The rooms are what you expect from a building that is old and semi falling apart, but the beds are comfortable, always clean and the same with the bathroom. In short, - Great location - Safe neighborhood - Great Prices - Includes Wifi and breakfast - Great staff - Rooms 3 out of 5 - Beds 5 out of 5 This is a great place to stay if you are mostly interested in wondering around town, and for the price it can't be beaten. I would definitely stay here again.

This place is great value for money . No luxuries just the basics good location in SanTelmo. The building is very old but works if you are looming for no frills and just a place to sleep and explore this part of town.

Basic hotel in good San telmo location
Easy checkin, super helpful staff always available to help with transit, finding where you're going etc. Rooms are basic but clean. No street noise. Can hear lots of noise from doors banging etc as old building. Sometimes lots of people (other clients) making lots of noise late at night) which was a nuisance) but would eventually quiet down-then extremely tranquil quiet place!

Acolhida em BA
Passei 6 noites no Hotel Bolívar e num próximo retorno a Buenos Aires penso em escolhê-lo novamente para minha hospedagem. O pessoal da recepção foi muito simpático e prestativo, especialmente o Juan que o tempo todo se mostrou muito atencioso e gentil. A localização também considerei excelente, no coração do charmoso bairro de San Telmo, e com acesso muito fácil aos principais pontos turísticos - seja por transporte público ou mesmo a pé. O quarto em que me hospedei (com banheiro privativo), apesar de demandar pequenos reparos no revestimento das paredes, era bem espaçoso e confortável. Já o café da manhã, bem simples, era saboroso e como sugestão deixaria a inclusão de alguma fruta para aumentar as opções. Quanto à limpeza e arrumação do quarto, não era feita todos os dias, mas isto não me causou nenhum tipo de incômodo. Por fim, ressaltaria o wifi como um ponto que precisa ser bastante melhorado, pois o sinal quase sempre estava fraco no interior do quarto ou mesmo nos outros espaços do hotel. No mais, como disse anteriormente, repetiria a experiência. A todos da recepção, saludos desde Brasil!

6/10 Good

Buenos Aires is generally no bargain when it comes to cheap lodgings, which makes this place OK with private rooms fetching about $23US, $4US more with private bath. Noise from the street is happily not an issue. It is a traditional hostel -- except there is no house cat -- enthusiastically staffed mostly by young folks without much apparent experience in hostelry. Kitchen is very poorly equipped, however, and when what you've got to work with is three stock pots, two can openers, three spoons, two forks and a knife, you will need a rich culinary imagination.

清潔な宿で、圧迫感のないコロニア風の宿です。
少し落書きが多い地区にあり遅い時間の外出をさけました タオルを貸してくれたのは、助かったです。 お湯の出は、最高です。 ベットも二段では、なかったのは良かったです。セミシングルマットレスが、少しマットレスがへたり込んでいましたので、少し残念ですが、部屋は天井が高くて広くてすっきりしたへやでした。 朝食付きでしたが、出発が少し早かったため、朝食を食べれなかったのが少し残念です。もう少し早い時間からスタートしていただければありがたかったです。あまり手の込んだメニュウでなさそうですので もう少し キッチンが明るくて備品を揃えてほしかつたですね! ナイフ スプーン ナイフが各一本しかない包丁もないので 広さは、十分なのに残念です

Niin halpa, että puutteita voi katsoa sormien läpi
Yövyin yhden hengen huoneessa jaetulla kylpyhuoneella. Rakennus oli vanha, mutta suht hyvässä kunnossa. Huone oli pieni, mutta riittävä yöpymiseen. Huoneeseen kuului myös parveke kadulle. Äänieristys oli huono, liikenteen melu kantautui sisälle. Sängyn patja oli hyvä, tyynyt liian kovia. Pesuhuone ei ollut hyvässä kunnossa. Asiakaspalvelu oli hyvää, vaihtelevalla englanninkielen osaamisella. Erittäin halpa hinta.

Bon rapport Situation-prix
Surpris par le petit niveau de services (petit déjeuner servi de 9h à 10h30 seulement, pas de nettoyage de vêtements) et de confort: les pièces sont sans fenêtres (sauf 2 aux étages). Ravi par l'amabilité du personnel et la situation dans la ville, à 100m du meilleur restaurant de viande de la ville et du marché San Telmo, et à deux pas du marché aux puces du week end de la rue Defensa, proche de l'ancienne Fondation Evita Peron et du quartier branché de Puerto Madero. Confort spartiate, plus proche d'une Auberge de Jeunesse que d'un hôtel.
