We walked past the door, twice, before finding the anonymous entrance. Nice common areas, specially the roof area for breakfast with the small pool. The room had a strong smell and was rather small and not that pleasant. Hotel service was ok, until we asked them to arrange a taxi to the airport. We got a private driver, even though... More

Little places llike this always come with trade-offs. I happen to love the trade-offs of this one. If location is your thing, grab this one. Walk out the door and Soho awaits. If safety and feeling secure is your thing, ditto. If common areas are your thing, ditto. The first floor has a reading room and a huge courtyard with... More

The location is good in trendy Palermo Soho and the reception is warm. However, the small room was almost filled by a comfortable bed with good linen; nowhere to put luggage and nowhere to sit comfortably. The bare (yes bare) polished concrete floor looked dirty and stained. A quick check revealed that it was dirty and stained and a good... More

Five Cool Rooms is a pleasant place to stay. Location is perfect, in the heart of Palermo Soho. Staff is friendly and efficient in making you feel at home. It´s a real boutique hotel, where you´re not just a room number. More

The room was attractive and modern with a lovely bathroom. Too bad the hot water never came on. The staff was friendly and helpful and the rooftop deck and breakfast area were very beautiful. Right in the middle of things in Palermo. Still, with all the hotels we stayed in this one was the most expensive and way down the... More

Compared to the other options we had when booking our stay in BA, I suppose that we should have expected less. Still, it's not like this place was dirt cheap, so we were shocked when we were led to our room and it was TINY! We almost had to shimmy our way in and our luggage basically just fit within... More

Found this place via a combination of personal recommendation (a local friend) and a good write up in The Guardian Travel section. We were not dissappointed. This was my first time back to Buenos Aires after a 15 year absence and whilst much has changed, Palermo Soho is still the best place to base yourself I reckon. Five Cool rooms... More

I stayed 4 nights at this hotel. Despite the checkin time was 2 pm, my girlfriend and I arrived at 6 am at Ezeiza airport. At 7 am I was at the hotel door guessing what would I do until 2 pm to get in the room. To my surprise, the front desk guy said "you room is ready". It... More

We tend to use CNTraveller as our hotel guide of choice and were quite excited when our taxi pulled up in what was clearly one of BA's funkier areas. However, on being buzzed through the non-descript front door I was at a loss to understand how it ever made it on to their list, as the hotel has nothing to... More

We chose a medium sized room after finding their website, had high expectations but these were quickly quashed. The bathwater came back up the drainage in the bathroom so we were offered a small room for the small room price. Unacceptable customer service in my eyes so I pointed out that also the wi-fi didin't work in our room (another... More
