I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel in Buenos Aires. The architecture is beautiful, with a classic belle epoque design that added a lot of charm and character to the overall experience. The location is excellent, conveniently close to major attractions, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The kitchen was well equiped and allowed me to buy some local fruits and snacks throughout the week. The service was also outstanding. Everything ran smoothly, and the staff ensured a comfortable and relaxing stay from start to finish. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Buenos Aires.

Poetry Building communicated quickly and clearly right away after booking, and again shortly before our visit with helpful suggestions of travel. It provided the privacy and full kitchen of an apartment, plus the convenience of a hotel: laundry, cleaning, and very helpful, friendly,English-speaking concierges when we wanted. A wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful time at the Poetry Building and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well equipped room in the heart of Recoleta. While there was construction happening on the building during our stay, the staff was truly exceptional, going out of their way to accommodate us with room upgrades further from the noise and anything else we needed to make our stay comfortable. They were also upfront and transparent about the construction which was very much appreciated. My friend and I were working remotely for the week from the hotel (so we were in our room during peak construction hours) and it really wasn't a bother at all. I wanted to particularly say thank you to Sol and Noelí for all of your help and attention during our stay. They were so warm and friendly and would drop what they were doing to assist with anything we needed. Thank you again for everything!

Our stay at the Poetry Building was perfect. From checking in with Valentina to the 7 nights we stayed, our apartment was exactly what we had hoped for. We had private terrace and balcony spaces and a fully furnished apartment where we were able to prepare a few meals when we wanted. The pool and garden were great spaces for to relax with a glass of wine in after a long day of sightseeing. The staff at the Poetry Building were nice, friendly and very accommodating with helping us explore restaurant reservations, letting us borrow umbrellas and making some great overall suggestions. The location was also great in the middle of Recoleta where we could walk almost anywhere we wanted to explore the city. A few blocks away from Sante Fe Ave, where it was easy to catch a taxi and also a few blocks away from the Subte, which made our stay very convenient. Highly recommend a stay with Poetry Building, you won’t regret it!

This is one of the nicest and most unique places we’ve found on Expedia! Great place with excellent decor and awesome rooms. We chose a room with a loft. So unique and awesome! My wife loved it! Worth the extra few bucks to get the loft!! The thing that really “made” our stay at the Poetry Building was the people that work there. They were so helpful with giving us a few suggestions for things to see, what’s close (walkable), and what’s worth the trip across town for. Recommendations for culture, shopping, restaurants (steaks), and sweets (pastries). Our trip was quick (3 days, and we had rain during them ☹️) but the staff gave us great ideas (and umbrellas!) that made our trip awesome! This place IS the one to book for your Buenos Aries trip. Stop scrolling and book it!

Boa opção para familias

Hotel muito interessante para 4 pessoas. A segunda cama é sofá cama, por isso avaliem se isso atende. Como estávamos com criança, foi adequado. A localização é muito boa, perto de mercados, restaurantes, cemitério da Evita, etc. Não tem café da manhã, mas o quarto tem o necessário para fazer refeições.
