“An amazing find in an amazing city”

3/3 found this review helpful

I see that there are a lot of reviews on this hotel, and for a good reason (also, I'll try not to repeat them too much...) - it's absolutely amazing -- chic and beautiful, with a friendly staff, who will do everything from arrange to have a bottle of wine delivered to your room, to showing you the subte (metro) routes to get anywhere and everywhere, to recommending local restaurants (the hotel is in one of the trendiest restaurant districts) and arranging reservations, to calling around local restaurants to help you find your lost credit card when you don't remember where it is you left it.
While chicness does have some of its downsides (the shower barrier only protects half the shower, so the bathroom is generally soaking wet after a shower; the doors must be locked and unlocked by key both from the inside & outside), these are minor in comparison to all of the great aspects of this hotel. Highly recommended.

“Amazing Service, Great Hotel!!”

3/3 found this review helpful

I cannot say enough good things about the hotel staff at the BoBo Hotel. Over my two day stay I dealt with at least five different front desk staff and all of them were helpful, nice and really helped make the trip easy and fun. From helping with a ferry ticket mix-up, to writing a list of favorite shoe and bag shops, nothing was too much to ask. The rooms are clean and simple. I stayed in the Art Deco room and it was great. My dad stayed in the Argentina suite and loved it but did say there was a bit of street noise. The location of the hotel is fantastic. Close to the subway to explore downtown and Puerto Madero, but located in a great little area called Palermo Viejo that has amazing shops and restaurants. If I return to Buenos Aires (which I hope to someday soon) I will definitely be staying here again!

“Loved Bobo”

BoBo Hotel

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at Bobo for a total of five nights in April and loved it! We stayed in the Minimalist Room and the Pop Room -- both are great, but we prefered the Minimalist for the large balcony. I really can't say enought about how great the staff are. I'm not sure who Max is (in previous review) but we didn't have a single person who wasn't polite and helpful. We also liked Palermo Soho a lot--tons of good restaurants and fun shops.

“Could have been Perfect”

BoBo Hotel

3 of 5 stars
New Jersey
May 4, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

My seventeen year old daughter and I just returned from Argentina last week after visiting my twenty year old daughter who is a college student studying in Argentina. We stayed at the Bo Bo which was very lovely and would have been perfect except for the night manager Max, who was not very accomondating. The staff with the exception of Max, were all very warm and friendly especially the restaurant staff who I cannot say enough about. The food was very good but their smiles and general helpful attitudes one could not put a price tag on. We stayed in the Art Deco room which was basically very clean however the carpets need to be changed as there were numerous stains around the bed. While the bathroom was lovely at first glance, they need to do some grouting around the shower partition as it is rusted. Would I stay again, not sure.
