Top Boetiekhotel

We liked everything about this hotel. Good lighting, good natural light, very nice breakfast with plenty of choices, comfortable bed, great shower, large balcony and very clean. The friendly, knowledgeable staff helped us plan our time there and did everything to make our stay perfect. When corresponding with the hotel before we arrived I always got a quick and friendly reply. We would stay here again. It was a fairly long walk to the metro station.

The service. .

The staff were fantastic and very accomodating indeed, and my room was really good (especially one's own jacuzzi). Finally, the internet connection is the best I've experienced in South America! Only gripe I would have is that Palermo Hollywood can be quite time consuming to get from to town (i.e. the Obelisk) when there's traffic. That said, this is commonplace in any metropolis, and given the cabs are so cheap isn't really too much of an issue. Furthermore, Palermo Hollywood is a very nice area and is a welcomed change from the bussle of central BA.

This hotel was very comfortable, the bed was clean and comfortable, pillows fresh and comfortable... everything about the room comfort was excellent. Additionally, the sauna on the top floor was quite nice, but they should regularly monitor the jacuzzi, since as it is outdoors and open to the air, there were lots of 'things' floating in the water, which if they would come up once an hour and scoop with a pool net would not be the case. A very easy thing to fix, and then the jacuzzi would be more comforting for the guests. The restaurant was limited in selection, but delicious nonetheless. Their approach to serving only organic foods is wonderful, and breakfast was delicious each day (fresh fruit and veggie juices, breads, fruits...) The internet in this hotel is so incredibly slow, it was like using dial up. It was so slow that it caused problems for me. I was a business traveler, and I literally could not do my emails for work in this hotel. Instead, I had to use the extremely expensive data roaming on my iPHone, just to be able to download and send emails, and this cost should not ever have to be incurred by a business traveler staying in a hotel that offers internet. For a brand new hotel, this was an extremely disappointing let down.
