The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of boutique shops and restaurants. The hotel had lots of open spaces to work, enjoy a glass of wine or lay in the sun.
Staff was kind, loved my room, and location was perfect. The owner is also someone who seems to know how to make things right if something is wrong, which is a lost value these days, so appreciate his help.

Amazing boutique-like hotel in perfect spot close to all of Palermo’s cafes, restaurant and shopping - but still a bit away in a quiet area. Lovely staff, cute rooms and great simple breakfast will everything needed.
What a lovely stay we had at Hotel Costa Rica! The room was comfortable, and the common areas were cute and inviting. All the staff we interacted with were kind and helpful. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel.
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.
Hotel is beautiful - so much charm and character.
Staff however not so much. Cold, indifferent and at times standoffish.
Used BA as home base while exploring Uruguay, Paraguay and Patagonia. Unfortunately my first 10 mins in room toilet broke the staff seemed to insinuate I did so which was not the case. I had to repack everything and move rooms. From there it went downhill which ironically I was gone most of the time - see above.
I would say that food was decent but for the attitude of the staff there are WAY better options in Palermo. I’m sure those places will appreciate your business.
Staffs are helpful and informative. Kindly suggested me the good rate Cambio nearby. The elevator was cool but needs maintenance (didn’t open the door and I was almost locked in!).
Not a welcoming place. Had to wait 3 hours to get my room. People did not want to make any efffort to accommodate me.
No smile no nothing.
However, the evening and night staff were nice.
