Ive only completed a review while still STAYING at the hotel one other occasion, but I felt Raco de BA warranted the 2nd. First the ONLY negative abouty the hotel is the location. Its not close to any of the tourist sites BUT it less than a 10 minute walk from Subway Line A which links directly to allthe major... More

The hotel rooms were lovely and the owner did a good job in preserving the original structure of the building. The breakfast was nice too. This is the only reason I get it any stars. The big problem came when it was time to pay the bill. I was charged 50% of the hotel fee when I reserved the rooms.... More

We always value constructive criticism, for it helps us improve our business and service. However, in this particular situation, we reject the accusation entirely. As we had already clarified with the client, we haven’t charged any amount to a credit card, much less, double charged them. Our guest informed us about an extra charge that happened to appear on her... More

My friend chose this hotel. It was an ok choice. Staff of this hotel is nothing but friendly, accommodating and very approachable. I'd say location is ok since its just walking distance from lots of shops, restaurants and subway. If you're the type of person who enjoys "being at home while on a trip" this place is for you, but... More

Excellent hotel. The location is only a 15 minute ride from the main tourist attractions. The beds were very comfortable and it had a great clean shower. The staff was very helpful. They organized our Tango Show, got tickets to a soccer game for us. We couldn't ask for anything else.

It would be easy to miss this hotel if you didn't book in advance as it is hidden behind 2 very normal town house front doors. But behind which, Raco is a perfect santuary after the bustle of Buenos Aires. Beautifully decorated spacious rooms with clean modern bathrooms. All windows face onto a narrow courtyard that offers a shady spot... More

We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. The entrance is beautiful and the foyer/sitting area is adjacent to reception. Our room and that of our relatives were very nice indeed and could not be faulted. The metro and buses are quite close by as is a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Everything you need is within easy reach. We... More

Great location, short bus/ tube/ taxi journey to all the main sights/areas in BA. The hotel itself is beautiful, a hidden gem behind those huge wooden doors! The rooms are modern, quirky and immaculate. The highlight of the hotel however has to be the staff, Virgina and Natalia in particular could not do enough for us, particularly with our extremely...

A beautifully restored mansion, family owned and run, with a staff who are English speaking and extremely helpful. A clean, quiet and very comfortable room on the ground floor that opened on to a charming courtyard. A very quiet area, but only a five minute walk from the subway to the heart of the city. Many shops, parks and restaurants... More

WE booked this hotel, and paid in advance to get a special rate on Expedia. It was cheap - but we found the hotel has a policy that you only get breakfast included if you book directly with them. All a bit odd - of course I know Expedia take a big slice so the hotel was probably earning very... More
