Frequently Asked Questions
Are pets allowed at these Buenos Aires hotels?
Only two properties on this list permit pets: SLS Buenos Aires Puerto Madero (#3) allows pets with applicable charges, and Oh Barrancas (#12) also allows pets with fees that should be confirmed at booking. The remaining 18 properties strictly prohibit pets. If traveling with an animal, book these two specifically — most hotels in Buenos Aires do not accommodate pets.
Which hotels offer free cancellation in Buenos Aires?
Cancellation policies vary by room type and booking date across all properties. Most hotels and apartments on this list (including Huinid Obelisco Hotel, Konke, and Tanguero) offer flexible cancellation on select rate plans, which you can see at checkout. None of the properties have blanket free-cancellation policies — always verify the specific room’s terms before booking, especially for non-refundable rates.
What is the best neighborhood for first-time visitors to Buenos Aires?
Palermo (including Palermo Hollywood and Palermo Soho) is the best choice for first-timers — it offers the highest concentration of restaurants, bars, boutiques, and green spaces. Recoleta ranks second for its elegant architecture, cemetery, and museums. If you want to be near the Obelisk and theaters, Microcentro (properties like Huinid Obelisco and PORTEÑO Central apart) is ideal. Avoid booking outside these three neighborhoods for your first visit.
How do I get from Ezeiza Airport (EZE) to my hotel in Buenos Aires?
Ezeiza Airport is roughly 30 km from central Buenos Aires. The most reliable option is a pre-booked taxi or ride-share (Uber operates in BA) — expect 40-60 minutes and approximately US$20-30. Several hotels on this list offer airport shuttle services: Konke Buenos Aires Hotel (#2), SLS Puerto Madero (#3), and Tanguero Hotel Boutique (#4) all include shuttle options. The public bus (Line 8) is
cheaper but takes 90+ minutes and isn’t recommended with luggage. Avoid unlicensed taxis at the airport — use the official taxi counters inside arrivals.
Which Buenos Aires hotels have the best WiFi for remote work?
For flawless connectivity, book Estilo Crespo (#8, WiFi 10.0), Palermo Vibes (#15, WiFi 10.0), or MAO Buenos Aires (#11, WiFi 10.0). These three properties score a perfect 10.0 for internet speed, making them ideal for digital nomads. Shoshana Hotel Boutique and @juanbjustoapartamento also score well but don’t have published WiFi scores — check recent reviews for confirmation. Avoid CorrientesNice (#20) if you need fast internet — its WiFi scores 8.8, the lowest on this list.
What’s the most walkable area in Buenos Aires for tourists?
Microcentro (downtown) and Recoleta are the most walkable areas for tourists. Properties like PORTEÑO Central apart (#14) and CorrientesNice (#20) put you within walking distance of the Obelisk, Colon Theater, and Plaza de Mayo. Recoleta’s MAO Buenos Aires (#11) offers access to the famous cemetery, museums, and upscale shopping without needing transit. For those who prefer boutique-heavy strolls, Palermo Soho (Scala I, #17) and Palermo Hollywood (Shoshana, #5) are best explored on foot.
