L'Adresse Hôtel Boutique

I'm a huge fan of anything that has personality, and this place has it in spades. Fantastic service by the staff, a great breakfast, and overall a place I just really enjoyed spending a couple of days in. Perfect for walking around to get the flavor of the area, plenty of attractions and great little bars and restaurants to relax in too.

This charming hotel is located in the old colonial part of the city it is within walking distance of lots of amazing restaurants and cafés and shops. The neighborhood has amazing buildings and churches with huge doors tall ceilings. The hotel rooms offers a nice breakfast, games and travel and other books you can borrow. The room itself was small but adequate with shelving a TV and a nice hot shower. The best part of our stay was the amazing staff that worked there. They were so helpful and accommodating. A special shout out goes to Clara, Rocio snd Lucas for the excellent service making sure that our experience was excellent. They even gave us the name of an exchange place that gave us a lot more money for our dollar than other places. if you are not in good physical shape, ask for a room on the ground floor. There were a lot of steps to go to the second floor with our heavy suitcases. That was the only downside. There is also a little supermarket right across the street which is convenient. We enjoyed our stay here recommend this hotel!

L'Adresse is in the heart of the hip and recovering San Telmo neighborhood, and indeed seems to embody its virtues: understated, unpretentious, and even inconspicuous. Its youthful staff tend the breakfast service even as they keep their eye on the reception desk in the first couple hours of the morning. I had arrived past 1 in the morning, and was grateful that the staffer that night was not only awake when I arrived, but insistent on carrying my suitcase up to the room -- it was up two long flights of stairs. The room was adequate to my needs, with a comfortable bed, hot water in the shower, and WiFi throughout. The morning staffer steered me to a casa de cambio where I could exchange my (cash) dollars for pesos at a rate of 675 to the dollar. (I later passed others in the same neighborhood that offered as much as 700.) During Argentina's current economic crunch, the visitor does well not to take the 10% discount on a prepaid booking, which is calculated at the "official" rate of exchange (350 pesos=1US$); rather, book the reservation to pay the full amount, in pesos, when the visitor checks out -- and convert your dollars to pesos once you're in town. The L'adresse's most distinctive asset is its location in San Telmo, where B.A.'s youthful energy is. It's a short walk from Plaza Dorrego, the informal "heart" of the district, and for that matter is a perfectly walkable distance from Plaza de Mayo and the city's historic center. If you're not desperate for luxuries, and like walking up stairs, it's a great find.

Extremely friendly staff. We arrived early and check-in was not until 2 pm but they have an area to hold the bags and freshen up. They offered us fresh and delicious cafe con leche which was much needed after our long flight. Also provided useful tips for sightseeing and exchanging our money for pesos. The room is basic with no frills but adequate if you are going to spend all your time wandering the city anyway. Very cute common areas. Walking distance to San telmo, plaza de mayo and safe neighborhood.
