Room- The rooms are NOTHING like they look in the pictures. They had dirty cement floors and I felt like we were practically outside. The beds and linens were hard and uncomfortable. Furthermore, the "white" towels in the room were so dirty they were grey. Staff- the staff was bizarrely rude. I'm not sure if it was just to us... More

The Hotel Costa Rica is a lovely hotel in the fashionable but relaxed area of Palermo. There is a huge selection of bars and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk and the subway is a 10-15 minute walk. The communal areas are stylishly decorated, comfortable and light and my only regret is that we didn't have more down time to... More

Hotel Costa Rica is located in the super trendy and lovely-to-wander-thru neighborhood of Palermo in BA, a short walk to the boutiques, restaurants, and bars of Palermo but also a short walk to the Subte, easily connecting you with other parts of BA as well. There is a coffee bar / lounge in the hotel. The rooms were efficient but... More

We stayed in this hotel 4 nights. It’s a great hotel, with a pleasant and helpful staff. The hotel is cosy decorated and is situated in one of Buenos Aires most popular neighborhoods, Palermo. It has an very nice courtyard garden. Although the hotel has spacious rooms, our rooms were very small. When we wanted to open our bags, we... More

I loved this place. I got a standard room with bathroom for a very reasonable price. The room was clean and nicely decorated, making it feel cozy and welcoming. The staff were amazing - spoke great English and were always willing to help with giving directions, making suggestions and offering assistance booking taxis. There is a cute little bar and... More

Booked via booking.com. Wanted to stay in Palermo as heard good things. My airline had 'misplaced' my luggage, but the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The location is a little bit away from things ie. a short walk, but the hotel is quite trendy with a good bar and decent enough rooms. The curtains could do with being a... More

BUT this... More
