Lugar Gay Bed & Breakfast

Staff location generally the hotel was really good

The stairs lol but not too bad really

Attentive staff and friendly atmosphere. Great location for my purposes.

Location excellent..staff very friendly ..breakfast good. Transport easy to use..Able to get around without knowing any Spanish.. Enjoyed great steaks.

The stairs to room..bedroom too cold at night,heater did little to help, but extra blankets did..mattress very hard..all these are not what i am used to at home. EVERY eating place had pizza on the menu...I go to Italy for pizza...

The staff were very knowledgeable in answering your questions. What you saw is what you get. Would like to visit during the summer as opposed to the winter low season.

The stairs of course, but that is the reality of the building.

I heartily recommend Lugar Gay (LG) for those who prefer the intimacy, charm, and simple comfort of a B&B, instead of the generic, modern luxury and high price of the big four- and five-star hotels downtown. My stay at LG was in the off-season southern hemisphere winter (June), so the rooftop terrace was closed for the season, but no matter - on the upside, having few guests, was very quiet and peaceful. My room was delightful –charming, cozy and comfortable. LG is located in an older, but well-maintained building in the oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Even the keys to the building had a retro charm to them – no electronic key cards here, but rather beautiful old brass keys and strike plates adding to the old style charm. My room was clean and comfortable, with an ambiance of a rustic, country inn - beautiful, polished hardwood floors with a dark honey colored patina, comfy twin bed covered with a thick, beautiful bedspread, keeping me warm and snug. All the basic comforts and conveniences – heat, shower, toilet, Wifi – were all modern, and worked with no problems. My room window looked out over an old church, and the San Telmo neighborhood was ideal - centrally located near good restaurants, Plaza Dorrego and the San Telmo antique markets, and is located just a few minutes walk from the San Juan metro (Subte) station. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and practically wrote out an itinerary for me with tall the best places to visit for my three-day stay. Breakfast was continental, simple, and tasty with medialunas, cereal and milk, yoghurt, and nice strong coffee. In summary, I enjoyed my stay with LG very much for its friendly and hospitable staff (muchas gracias, Santo, Javier, Juanjo), charming décor, cozy ambiance, and fantastic location. It really enhanced my stay, and I whenever I returned in the evening after a day of sightseeing, I always felt like I was “home.” I will certainly return there on my next stay in Buenos Aires.

Just a few minor issues - the little heater in my room was kind of difficult to figure out how to use; also there is a rather long flight of stairs up to the rooms (no lift). But for me these were really no big deal.
