Anselmo Buenos Aires, Curio Collection by Hilton

We had a lovely three days at the Anselmo in San Telmo on the Plaza Dorrego in Buenos Aires. We had the unique room overlooking the Plaza and enjoyed being able to people watch and see the dancers on the plaza. The staff was great. We enjoyed the breakfast. We especially appreciated the person who ran the breakfast buffet and afternoon tea, Laura. Laura was helpful and kind. She gave me ice to tend to a bruised leg (bumped into a concrete bench I didn't see in time) and checked on me every day. We also ate in the bar/restaurant one night and enjoyed the atmosphere and all the kind staff there. The open patio below the entrance was also a place to rest and relax between forays into the great shopping around the hotel as well as the roof top pool/lounge which had a great view. Highly recommended!

Very quiet very comfortable hotel. Excellent service. Very nice modest breakfast buffet. The hotel is made to have a rustic look, but the building is only 10 years old. Very nice patio area that is indoors but outdoors. There is a rooftop pool and small gym workout facility. The weight machine could have a few more accessories. The hotel is located in the heart of Plaza, Drego and Santoma with hundreds of activities footsteps away. overall an excellent stay.

We stayed at the Anselmo Hotel in Buenos Aires and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the hotel is very pretty, quite recent, and has a stylish, modern design. The location is excellent, perfect for exploring the city on foot, with plenty to see and do just a short walk away. Breakfast was also quite good, with enough variety to start the day pleasantly. However, the main downside was the lack of sound insulation in the rooms. We could constantly hear noise coming from the bar and restaurant area, and the music played until around 2:30 AM, which made it very difficult to sleep. On top of that, noise from the corridors and even the toilets flushing in other rooms was clearly audible. It’s a beautiful hotel in a great area, but the poor soundproofing really affected the comfort of our stay. If you’re a light sleeper, this might not be the best option.

We stayed for 2 nights and since we have been to Buenos Aires before, wanted to stay in a different part of the city and San Telmo is certainly unique. |The hotel is tucked into the corner of the square, which during the weekend is part of the San Telmo market and was bustling.|We loved walking around the markets and even the Casa Rosado is only 20 minutes stroll.|Had an early check in after a long flight which was really appreciated. The rooms are small but well appointed although a bit dark.|Love the central area which is open at the top and all the trees and plants. The pool at the top is nice but was too cold for us to use in March but lovely views nevertheless. |Breakfast was ok but not much choice as I would like.|Overall however, still a nice place to stay.

We had a great time at the Hotel Anselmo in the historic San Telmo district. The hotel and staff were wonderful (especially Laura who staffed the breakfast area each morning). There are lots of shops and restaurants all around the hotel with a big antique/art/curio market every Sunday right outside the front door in the square and the San Telmo Mercado (great food and tapas) about a block away. Downtown sights were walkable as well.

The quirkiest hotel located in the heart of the San Telmo district within easy access to local restaurants, the mercado and local parks. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the vibe of the hotel is wonderful. The reception staff were welcoming and helpful (as non Spanish speaking tourists). The breakfast was a wonderful way to spend our day. Such a fantastic location.

This is the best location to stay in Buenos Aires. Right in the heart and soul of San Telmo it's brilliant. Great vibe too. (And if you arrive on a Sunday, just be aware the market is on right outside the hotel so your taxi can't bring you to the door.) Rooms are a great size. The hotel is whisper quiet despite being in such an amazing location. Shower pressure and hot water great. Lovely atrium in the middle of the hotel giving light to all the rooms. Bar and restaurant on the lower ground floor. A beautiful boutique experience elevated by Jeronimo Pascual Mato at the front desk. Jeronimo emailed me with professionalism, and warmth — in both Spanish and English - before arrival. His restaurant and show recommendations were spot-on, and meeting him in person felt like reconnecting with an old friend. He made our entire stay truly special.

Our stay at the Anselmo exceeded our expectations. The location of the hotel was great. You literally walk out of the hotel and the San Telmo Sunday Market (20+ blocks) of booths and vendors as well as the Indoor Market were all right there. We alos attended a Tango show as well as did a walking tour of the City Centre. Again the location was perfect. We were celebrating our 5th anniversary. The hotel staff were great as well. They sent up some wine and some alfajores for our special day. My only knock is that in the winter the HVAC is centralized, so those who get hot easily will either need to request a fan as we did and/or open the windows within the room. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great hotel in a convenient location.

Cute hotel right on the square. Great for walking & exploring. Clean with helpful professional friendly staff who were proficient in English. There were 3 of us sharing room, so one had the pull out/cot bed which turned out to be surprisingly comfortable. Room spacious. Would stay again if in area. Be aware that on Sundays the surrounding streets are closed for flea market/antiques/whatever booths that are great fun -- but a taxi or car can NOT get to the hotel entrance. Ours dropped us off about 2 blocks away (with good instructions) -- the street is fairly level and we didn't have difficulty with luggage but if you had a lot of bags it might be difficult. On non-Sunday days, they can drop off/pick up right at front door.

Do not book this hotel if you are attempting to use your Hilton benefits or earn points via your Hilton Amex. I stayed here 7 months ago and I am still dealing with billing errors and duplicate charges and getting a response from anyone at the hotel is impossible. I booked my stay on Hilton.com. When I checked out, they charged my Hilton Amex. When I got home a couple weeks later and checked my account, the charge was showing Booking.com. Because of this, I didn't earn my bonus Hilton points or the quarterly credit. Thus began a 2 month dispute between Hilton and Amex where Amex said I didn't book directly with Hilton and Hilton said Amex was wrong. It finally was resolved to get my points, but I never received my quarterly credit. I think the hotel was doing some shady billing practices by charging via Booking.com because I only book direct. 5 months later, the hotel emails me stating that my charge was rejected so they billed me again. My original charge is still on my statement and I paid it off months ago. So I had to open a dispute with Amex showing the emails the hotel sent me and the proof that I paid them months earlier to get my money back. I have no idea what is going on with their billing and accounting, but it seems shady at best and a scam at worst. The hotel was fine actually and would've had a pretty good rating, but dealing with billing for 7 months is unacceptable and not worth doing business with them.

We stayed here at the start of our Argentina trip. Very well situated location and we enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. It's a nice looking design hotel of sorts but the rooms were not very comfortable. We tried to get our rooms changed because it was way too hot in our room but were told that no other rooms were available.

The place was pretty clean. Beautiful ambiance. The breakfast selection was just okay. The rooms are pretty small. Not sure if it's a cultural thing, but no fans in the bathroom. I felt like the concierge/front desk could have been a little more helpful. They were remodeling the gym when we got there, so that woulda been nice to know ahead of time as we probably wouldn't have stayed there. The location was nice though. Some tango and live bands each night for entertainment. Do NOT eat at the place right next door. Very expensive and food quality was very poor. Not sure the name of it but 1075 was the address. They even snuck in a silver wear charge. Never ended up going to the bar at the bottom level of the hotel, but it seemed like a cool area. I'd probably see what else is available in the area first, but I wouldn't be opposed to staying at the Anselmo again.

Gayle and I needed a place to stay between our arrival in Buenos Aires and travelling to Trelew early the next morning. I'm a Hilton Hhonors member and booked the Hotel Anselmo instead of the big Corporate Hilton located in Puerto Madero. I'm glad I did. The only disappointment is that the Plaza Dorrego (where the Hotel is located) was under refurbishment. Otherwise, this place was great. The San Telmo neighborhood location opened up lots of antique walking experiences, with Hotel staff being very good at providing shopping, restaurant, or any other recommendations we wanted. One big bonus is that we had to leave for the airport at 3:30 AM. At 3 AM, they had coffee and pastries waiting for us. I thought that the refurbishment of this historical space was impressive. Both Gayle and I enjoyed the Lobby, the wine bar/cafe area, and our rooms. WiFi was excellent, as was the shower and the comfort of our bed. Maybe I should say that another disappointment was having to leave too early, and not having the opportunity to linger longer.

Located right in the middle of San Telmo, it's the perfect location for the Sunday market. That's the huge market they have with tons of crafts, knick knacks, and all sorts of random stuff. Some stuff can be good souvenir items. Others, not so much. They also have some food booths as well if you're adventurous. If not, there were many other eateries around the hotel. They put us in a room where the AC didn't work. Although they were able to give us a room with a working AC later, I was wondering why they put us in the room to begin with knowing that the AC on the first floor wasn't working. Hm... strange. Maybe they thought we wouldn't use it? Idk...

Everything about this hotel was exceptional, from the stay, comfort of the room, staff, breakfast, I left more than happy with it all. Front desk does speak English but are more than happy to let you practice your Spanish if you want. It's in a busy square of San Telmo, with daily tango lessons for you to join or tango shows to watch. The rooms themselves don't offer much of a view, but that's ok as Buenos Aires is pretty large and spread out so not sure what the "money shot" hotel view woulda been anyways. You're better off staying in a central area. Very easy walk to area steakhouses and Casa Rosada. I did walk to Recoleta Cemetery as well, and it's doable but took an hour. They will call you a taxi if you request it. Would def stay here again if I'm back, and make sure you drink their fresh juices in the lobby!

I want to start by saying that my experience at this hotel was quite exquisite. It's an adorable boutique hotel in the middle of the historic section of Buenos Aires. I can't even find the words to describe the amazing staff that provided a superior level of service to me and my travel companion. Yasmin, Martin, & Juan , each individually provided recommendations on places to eat, places to visit, and were a true delight to speak with on a daily basis. These three people were clear factors in making our stay as first class and appreciated as it was. For anyone reading this review I encourage you to visit this hotel and meet these incredible people who are the front face of this fabulous hotel.

Stayed here for two nights on our way to Patagonia. The hotel is right on a plaza that had nearly 24/7 tango dancers. There is a bar/restaurant that serves coffee and cocktails in the plaza so you can have a relaxing drink and watch the dancers - great fun. The hotel was clean; comfortable and the staff was extremely helpful with directions, changing money and arranging for transportation when needed. Loved the place.

This is a great value hotel part of CURIO collection from Hilton. If anything location could be the not so great but a few blocks away from new area in Puerto Madero. Restaurant breakfast buffet and wine bar lounge are great for a quick start. I like the design and service was great. Room is good size for 1-2 people. On the small side but this is not a resort to keep you in the hotel room most hours. Bed is good size and so is shower restroom. Maybe some vanity shelf could help more space. I used the closet shelf. Nice size tv and gym is very basic. Likely all you could need but maybe a new design would be welcomed. The ambiance decor of the whole hotel is great. And the staff is A+. Close by are quick mart at gas station and plenty of restaurants and Starbucks local coffee shops and more in San telmo and in Puerto Madero. Rooms are quiet and great blackout curtains. Hest and ac is flawless. This is a newer hotel so still settling a bit. The center patio atrium is amazing for cold beer or wine or coffee tea. Few pieces I'd like hotel to check on is getting HD channels, LED is already there. Bring a pro to design gym better. Above all 5 stars are deserved for value, all you get for a great price and walking distance 3 blocks from amazing neighborhood.

My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay at this modern, clean and comfortable hotel in the heart of San Telmo, a fun quirky artistic neighborhood that is well situated in Bueno Aires. The hotel is right on quaint Plaza Dorrego where free tango happens daily and where the famous Sunday antique market is based (don't miss that - it stretches for almost a mile down the street from the square!) There are many antique stores and boutiques in this area - as well as lots of street art and restaurants. It's also a short walk to the Puerto Madero, the area by the canal, which is basically an old industrial port that has been renovated into a fancy area with modern high end hotels, restaurants and paths along the canal. The hotel staff were INCREDIBLY helpful, and always courteous and easy to talk to. They went out of their way to accommodate our every need. The breakfasts (which were free due to our Hilton Gold status) were delicious with wonderful options including some of the best cheese I've had in a long time. The fruit was always incredible as well - and always hot items to choose from. Our room was one of the bigger corner rooms and was beautifully designed, great decor - and incredibly spacious. It was easy to sleep well there - very quiet and good blackout curtains. Our bed was very comfortable and the showers were hot. What more can you ask for? The hallways even smelled good (seriously it smelled faintly like a sophisticated men's cologne - very subtle, not overpowering at all). One of the best things about staying here was the restaurant/wine bar. This is a new hotel, and it seemed like people weren't yet fully aware of the absolutely delicious, gourmet offerings provided by talented Chef Dave Soady, who is an American expat from Washington DC. This is a hidden gem that needs to be discovered. The menu was INCREDIBLE, as were the food presentation and flavors. We were so impressed that we ate there three times during our one week stay - and we are the types who never eat in the same restaurant twice while traveling because we want to try as many different things as we can. The filet mignon was to die for, cooked to perfection and served with roasted brussel sprouts and a pumpkin puree that cannot easily be described. Delicious. We also tried the fabulous goat cheese and arugula pizza with squash sauce and tomato confit.... Wow. And then there was the warm brie cheese encrusted in polenta and served with honey and lavender drizzled on top. Had to have that appetizer twice. The other appetizer we tried, the warm braised endive salad with blue cheese and candied hazelnuts, was equally succulent. And my husband just about died when he tasted the banana tahini soup. He's still raving about that one! And of course they offer an excellent selection of wines, seeing that this is a wine bar. Our meals here easily rivaled top dining experiences that we've had in Paris, New York and London. Chef Soady is a true culinary artist. DO NOT MISS THIS RESTAURANT. Overall a great place to stay - we used points so can't comment on the cost, but I'm sure whatever the price is, this hotel is great value.

We went here during our new year vacation. Pros * Bang next to Plaza Dorrego which is an amazing location in San Telmo. Tango happens right at your doorstep on Sundays, and it is always bustling outside * Hilton has kept the place really neat. Nice lobby, nice staff who will help you get a taxi, help with language etc.. Most of the staff is english speaking. * The restaurant downstairs is really nice too ! They had some great wine and empanadas. Cons * Room size is small. This is something that might bother people if you are looking to stay in the room for a longer time. We were mostly out so we did not care. * There are not many other amenities here, like a pool etc.. The gym is also very very basic.

Perfect location right on Dorrego Square. We had an interior facing room overlooking the courtyard which was reasonably quiet. Staff were incredibly helpful, pleasant and accommodating. Rooms were modern, clean but bijou! On the basis that you are unlikely to spend any time in them with BA at your feet, that probably doesn't matter! The only negative was the low quality of the breakfast. Some of the fruit was old (wizened and boarding on rotten) and had obviously been sitting there a long time. The arugula salad was totally wilted. I'm not quite sure why some of the food was even laid out for guests it was in such poor shape. We gave up on the breakfast after heading down there twice and having to reject it and went to Coffee Town in San Telmo Market instead! For a boutique hotel owned by Hilton this is unacceptable but overall we would highly recommend the hotel for its location, friendliness of staff and cleanliness.

We did not have a good experience. The staff at the front desk Martín and Yasmin was incredible, they are both multi-lingual and were always pleasant when we came across them. The hotel was a great hotel in a prime location. However the maintenance dept never came to fix our AC we told them this 2 times from the room and at the desk when we left to dinner. When we came back it was 2 AM and we had to pack up and move rooms because no one stopped by to fix it. The restaurant staff can use some attitude tuning, they were slow and inattentive we waited 40 mins to be served and when we sat we literally did the waitress job by going into the restaurant and grabbing our own spoon, fork, and knife we had to ask for water 2x before we got it and our mixed drinks well they forgot those. Def. wouldn't stay again, however i was able to book at the Hilton Buenos Aires and they were magnificent 5* service from EVERY STAFF!!

Anselmo is right in the middle of a busy plaza so you're in close proximity to most things in the city. It is part of the Hilton chain, and is a bit small for a Hilton you would expect in such a large city. However, don't let the size fool you. They hotel is absolutely stunning. The staff is very helpful and do a great job with their recommendations. The found us the most amazing Tango show (Gala Tango - if you're interested) and did a great job coordinating the run. The restaurant is downstairs and they do also have a great breakfast/brunch. All in all, great location and great staff - highly recommend it!

I'll give this hotel four stars mainly for it's service and location. The hotel is done in a stylishly puritan way. The problem I have with it is that it already looks a bit worn. Details in our room weren't that nice, and the AC was barely working. Overall it looks nice, but do expect the feeling and smell of wood that got moist one too many times. The location is great for discovering the area of course, however, be aware at night if you're an obvious tourist. For first time visitors who plan to stay more than one night I'd recommend other parts of the city to stay in. Where the hotel excelled was the staff. Very friendly and with good recommendations (my wife is local and can tell - yes, you'll be sent to tourist highlights if you ask for it, but there are other recommendations available too). Overall, happy to have staid here!

It's always difficult to tell whether a selection is of quality and in a good location. We were pleased with the Anselmo being on the Plaza Dorrego in San Telmo. The nightly tango dancing demonstrations were a treat. Good restaurants within walking distance and plenty of local 'flavor'. The hotel was comfortable and the staff was friendly.

A- grade for our stay. Great friendly staff! Wonderful location! The free breakfast was yummy, we were told it was free for us because we were Hilton Honors Members, but I'm not sure if this is so? As the website I booked on said "free" in general. But regardless, very enjoyable hotel. Clean, modern, and elegant. Two downsides: Many intl flights arrive into EZE early in the morning. Wr arrived around 9am exhausted and had to wait till 2pm for a room. It was annoying, but can't get too upset over something that could (and does) happen at many hotels. Second downfall: there was a door in our room that led directly into the room next door. The woman staying in 201 was extremely loud (playing loud music and having sex with her male companion around 4am...) We could hear everything and it was ridiculous. Cant fully blame the hotel for this... but the singular door separating the two rooms is a downfall. Something should be done about this... or at least room 202 avoided. Unsure if the other rooms are the same as we were a corner room. Overall, good stay! IF you do come to Buenos Aires, I recommend taking a taxi downtown. Its by far the fastest and only cost $40 and you can pay USD ahead of time.

Great little boutique hotel smack in the middle of the older part of Buenos Aires, San Telmo. This is a brand new modern feeling hotel in a very historic part of town so the juxtaposition of a new hotel with old feel oddly enough works well. The rooms are quite small but do the job. No real perks to the hotel, so don't expect lotions, spas, pools, gym etc. They say they have a gym but it's a sad room with 2 machines. This no frills hotel aside from having a great location has really really great front desk staff. Flavio and Camila were the best, super attentive, friendly and professional. They helped us out a bunch with all our requests and questions. Cleaning staff wasn't overly friendly but wait staff at the wine bar and during breakfast were great! All in all a nice little gem whose young and friendly staff really make it shine.
