Magnolia Hotel Boutique

We had a perfect stay at the ‘Magnolia Hotel Boutique’ for 6 days. From the moment we arrived everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were exceptionally nice, incredibly helpful and really always professional. Every interaction made us feel like we were staying with friends rather than in an anonymous mass hotel – such a warm and personal atmosphere! The location couldn’t have been better. Everything – from fantastic restaurants to charming shops - was within walking distance so we enjoyed exploring the neighbourhood of Palermo. A very special thanks to Eli, Luna, Mica and the whole team whose kindness and attention to detail made our stay truly memorable. They all embody what exceptional hospitality is all about. We often think about our time we spent at Magnolia and wish to be back one day – we cannot recommend it highly enough if you search for a place with a relaxed atmosphere and great standard where everything just makes you feel welcomed. Thank you so much! J & O

I absolutely loved Magnolia. Top notch service, excellent location. Very quiet and cute. Rooms are spacious and comfortable - big bathroom. Breakfast is delightful and plentiful. A charming, unique space for a good value in a lovely area of Buenos Aires.

The hotel is very cute and in a nice neighborhood. The rooms could definitely be improved (fan with the light is too noisy), the door for the shower is not practical etc, but the staff was extremely welcoming and polite. Breakfast was also very nice.

A lovely boutique hotel in a stately historic home, complete with a beautiful inner courtyard in the Palermo district. Our flight arrived early in the morning, and we were welcomed with a fresh cup of coffee and delicious croissants. Throughout the following days, the staff continued to impress us with their kindness and attentiveness. The breakfast is excellent with plenty of options. The hotel is located in a neighborhood that’s perfect for exploring Buenos Aires.

Our stay at Magnolia Hotel was terrific. The accommodations were splendid, and the staff was wonderful, especially Ely. We enjoyed the breakfast as well. The Hotel is located in the heart of the Palermo section of Barcelona, surrounded by restaurants and cafes. We felt extremely safe in the area as well as within the hotel.

Hotel Magnolia is a delightful, artfully decorated, comfortable and cozy hotel located in a vibrant and safe neighborhood. The rooms exude old world charm with modern amenities. The breakfasts are delicious, healthy and plentiful. Most of all, the staff is very attentive and hospitable, helping us book tours, restaurant reservations and transportation. Special shoutout to Mikela who was a gracious host and tended to our every need.

Spotless, lovely decor,comfortable, great breakfast, walkable neighborhood …but most especially: the helpful, friendly and incredibly thoughtful staff. I wish I could remember all their names- Mika and Ari ???- all of them stood out in the way they went above and beyond. And that means a lot when you don’t speak the language and are far from home.

Excellent hotel with great customer service, lovely rooms, and wonderful breakfast.||Easily walkable and safe to Palermo Soho for its selection of restaurants and bars ||Could not fault a thing.||Simply wonderful. THOROUGHLY recommend this hotel.

Amazing wonderful small 8 room hotel. Staying here is the closest place to being invited to a very clean well updated home of a friend. Highly recommend and look forward to staying there again.

From the street the hotel looks like just a door with manual door knockers. You have to ring a doorbell and then they come let you in. There's someone at the front desk (with cameras) 24/7. The hotel itself looks like a big house. There's a largish waiting area and then a small dining area right outside a door that leads to the rooms. The room we had was spacious. We were told it's the biggest one there. There's a patio which we didn't use because it was cold and it doesn't have a view. The room smelled a little funny, kind of musty with a plant smell. The sheets also smelled so we used our own blankets. The shower was nice and hot and had good shower pressure. The floor of the shower gets so wet it doesn't until houskeeping comes. I hated the toilet. It was so high I could barely touch the floor with my toes and the angle was no good. Also, when we arrived, our room was so cold and wouldn't heat up. We asked and they gave us a fan heater we used the first night. The next day we found a radiant heater in our room, which was really nice. The staff at the hotel are nice. Breakfast was simple- some bread, made to order eggs and juice. We made the mistake of not asking the price of water and at check out found out it was super expensive. Recommend buying water elsewhere. There isn't much of anything outside the hotel. We were able to walk to Don Julio but were recommended to take a taxi back. There's a small store nearby to buy water but no prices listed so you have to ask, which seems strange. If I ever come back, which is unlikely, I would probably look for a different place to stay. The room just felt dark and depressing and the location isn't particularly good. A lot of reviews mention the service and I agree they are nice, but nothing exceptional.

I stayed here for three nights and it was lovely. The staff were incredibly helpful, recommending good places to eat nearby, describing local attractions, and even booking our ferry tickets to Uruguay! The breakfast was simple but very good. Lots of fun restaurants, bars, and shopping a short walk from the front door. I'd guess there are much cheaper options, but I'm happy we chose Magnolia.

This was home for two nights during a visit to Buenos Aires at New Years. The hotel is located on a side street in the Palermo neighborhood, but is a short walk to a main thoroughfare like Av. Scalabrini Ortiz (which has a metro stop for your public transportation needs). Upon entering the lobby, there is a vintage feel that permeates. Check in took a little bit of time, as there had been some power issues in the neighborhood and the internet was firing back up. The room was located on one of the upper floors and was spacious. Antique furniture appointed the room. There was a large armoir, complete with a safe, for storage. The room had air conditioning, which was definitely a must as it was relatively warm and the room would otherwise have been stuffy. Breakfast each morning was fantastic. Eggs were made to order (complete with a side order of ham if you wanted), a variety of fresh fruit was available, and a nice selection of beverages (tea, juice, coffee). The hotel also has a small roofdeck, which was a nice place to hang out and observe the neighborhood's rooftops at night. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. If you are traveling over the holidays, as we were, we got great assistance in how to hail a cab (as reservations were not available to be made). Additionally, when airline websites and online check-in showed some incomplete information, the front desk called the airline and was able to confirm the details of an upcoming flight (sadly my Spanish is non-existent). Overall, a little pricey but the service was attentive. Neighborhood is desirable for restaurants and bars, though not much in the immediate area as this hotel has a residential feel to the environs.

The photo posted here is NOT a photo of the hotel. The outside of the hotel really only has a cute little sign and a big, awesome wooden door with an intercom buzzer to the right of the door. We booked 3 nights here. Had never been to BA. This is a grand little hotel. Small yet charming. Really charming! The room we had was Room #2. Very good sized room. Large king bed. Great air conditioning which we totally appreciated. The breakfasts come with the room and are really lovely. Croissants/breads/yogurt/granola/eggs cooked the way you like them, fruits (and the fruits are insanely good)/juices (again - insanely good), matte tea, coffees. The service is top shelf. Francisco was a doll and answered many questions for us. Alex helped us book a last minute dinner/tango show (I don't remember the venue but it had the name "Angels" in it. DO IT. It's an okay dinner, but an amazing show. Very sexy and wonderful and classy and professional. We LOVED it!). He also helped us figure out the hop on/hop off bus. It says they run every 20 minutes. As we were told by both Francisco and Alex, nothing really runs on time in BA. So sit back and relax and take the hop on/hop off tours to see what sections of BA you want to explore on foot. This little boutique hotel is a charmer. We walked all over every day and never felt unsafe. Enjoy! And say hola to Francisco and Alex from us!
