Italian immigrants arrived in Argentina via La Boca, and it is where the city’s Little Italy took root. La Boca is also the birthplace of Argentine tango. This rich heritage is on display at El Caminito, an open-air market and museum. Nearby, San Telmo is one of the city’s better-preserved historical areas. Plaza Dorrego’s Sunday antiques market also hosts tango dancers and street performers.

"Suite Barcelona"
Had the chance to stay at the suite and it is a marvelous experience. A jacuzzi in addition to the shower, cnadles, lots of closet space and other amenities. Best hotel experience I've had in a long time.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel axel in buenos aires"
Excellent hotel in San Telmo area with a great breakfast. We were surprised to find out that the hotel was a mostly gay hotel that was very hetero friendly. 5 star quality with excellent service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A very Average Hotel"
This hotel was very average, the room was very small and it really didn't feel home. the service is good, the concierge are better than average. The location is not good at all, it's good to see this side of the city as well, but don't necessary need to stay here. There aren't that many great local restaurants around here. the closest is the Puerto […] Modero which is pretty expensive restaurants, not normal local Argentinian lifestyle restaurants, but definitely worth seeing. but sometimes you just need to have nice cafes close by when you are back in your hotel and don't wanna go too far. 2nd time in BA we stayed in Palermo Hollywood which was much much nicer area.

"Friendly, comfortable, well located"
We had a nice stay at this hotel at a reasonable cost. The staff were friendly and efficient and always helpful. Breakfast was fine, but unchanging, which after four mornings was a bit repetitive. Note that if you want to use the spa section of the hotel it is extra per room per day; this might actually have helped keep our rate down to begin with, […] and it was nice to have the option to "upgrade" to use those facilities if we wanted to. Also, for some reason, there were no glasses in our room to go with the mini-bar; not sure if this was conscious (to prevent glass breaking on the polished concrete floors) or just an oversight, but I'm sure they would have provided some if we asked. We liked the location because it was not upscale and pretentious, but seemed more diverse and artsy (some realy nice graffiti mural art, for example), and there were some nice neighborhood eateries. If you like beef, definitely go to La Brigada. (Note that the sidewalks in the San Telmo area and other parts of the city that are not upscale are in disrepair so be careful while walking. The hotel is also a short walk to the main boulevard, right near the Sunday flea market (which goes on for blocks), It's a bit of a walk to the Subte (metro, subway, underground), but it's a nice walk and it is worth it for getting around. Just a word about the people in Buenos Aires: everyone seemed unpretentious and was very helpful, honest, and friendly. Never felt in the least intimidated or made to feel uncomfortable. But they really do need to do a better job cleaning up after their dogs in the morning (be careful when looking up at the buildings or you will be wiping your shoes). Hotel, area, city, and the people made for a great stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Axel -- gay-friendly, great value"
We stayed in this hotel for about a week during a recent trip to Buenos Aires. Plusses: It's one of the newest hotels in Buenos Aires and generally has nice amenities. We enjoyed the hot tubs, pool, and exercise equipment on the top floor, as well as the free WiFi throughout the hotel. Front desk staff members all speak English and are very knowledgeable […] and courteous. The hotel has a nice location in historic San Telmo. On weekends, the hotel has several gay male guests, but everyone would feel genuinely welcome, and during the week the hotel is very mixed. Downsides: The rooms are not very well noise-insulated, so my traveling companion (who's a light sleeper) was bothered by other hotel guests who were playing music in the adjacent room late on Friday and Saturday nights. We stayed in a "street view" room and it was not feasible to keep the doors open overnight because of noise from cars and trucks passing on the street in front of the hotel. Also, at the time we visited, the locals wanted heat while we wanted air conditioning, and there was no way to turn on the a/c in our room. Note that at least one taxi driver told us that American guests frequently complain about noise and climate control in even the most expensive hotels in Buenos Aires, so you might not do any better. Hotel Axel is actually one of the most modern structures among the hotels, so the taxi driver we spoke to suggested it was better than the competition. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Stay...I'll be back!"
I've stayed twice at the Axel Barcelona and liked the property and especially the friendly service. The Buenos Aires Axel lived up to my expectations and exceeded them. The hotel was modern, clean, well maintained and the location was great. The San Telmo location was walking distance to many interesting areas, transportation and entertainment. All […] of the front desk staff, especially Conrado and Ignacio were friendly and helpful and made our stay very pleasant. There are several good amenities incl. a gym, 2 pools, 2 jacuzzis, lounge, WI-FI, and computer stations. My only complaint...WI-FI was unavailable several days. Rooms are on the small side, but comfortable. King bed was very comfortable. Shower and bath design was good. Prices in the bar were reasonable (for a hotel) and there is weekly entertainment. I am planning to stay again in the future. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Axel Hotel BA is worth it"
Excellent hotel. Very clean, very comfortable, good location (lots of restaurants and cafes close at hand), very modern. Room furnishings were top class. San Telmo is also an exciting area, the best we saw in BA.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Axel not up to standard, far from its BCN sister"
cheaply renovated buidling from 60's. Trying to get design hotel feeling with some cosmetic. The windows are the old original ones and isolate nothing from the noisy street. Earplugs provided is maybe a plus:). Renovation badly done towel hooks, toilet paper holders etc are all so loose that they are unusuable. One day we had no phone and internet, […] one day we didnt have any TV next day we didnt have any water. We had to depart wihtout having a shower. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Axel Hotel BsAs - Style and Warmth - all in one"
The Axel has all the class and style of any upscale hotel in New York City without superficial attitude. From meeting Alexis who checked us in - a delightful, warm and incredibly helpful man. During check-in conversation we discovered that while the room we had requested was available we had been upgraded to a suite! What a great surprize because we […] were celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary and my birthday. It was a lovely gift. The suite was spacious and very comfortable with all the amenities of home. Our only complaint was the weather - the pouring rain meant we could not take advantage of the beautiful outdoor pool space. Of course there is an indoor pool on the top floor! Among the amenities available is a masseur. Do yourself a big favour and book a massage with Marcelo. Not only will you feel wonderful but you'll sleep like a baby. Certainly this is a hotel I would highly recommend when you're in Buenos Aires. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Esperaba un hotel mejor"
Es un hotel diferente a los demás . No es para el turista convencional , esta diseñado para la comunidad gey. Las habitaciones no son muy cómodas y me toco una con mucho ruido de la calle.. El desayuno no es nada del otro mundo y les falta un poco más de variedad ... La verdad no lo recomiendo para el turista tradicional .Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Amable y distendido."
Creo que lo positivo del hotel es el diseño en general, la amabilidad del personal y el clima distendido que genera. Varias veces me alojé en el hotel y esta característica está siempre presente. Lo negativo en esta última ocasión fue el cargo extra por el uso de la pileta y el spa, que hasta hace muy poco estaba incluído en reservas por internet (si […] la reserva es por el mismo hotel está todo incluído). La habitación de esta ocasión fue más pequeña y el baño presentaba un leve deterioro en la puerta corrediza. El desayuno simple y correcto como siempre. El barrio si bien no es bonito tiene su encanto. Recomiendo andar con atención durante la noche (como en cualquier ciudad) y guardar el auto en la cochera más cercana (casi al lado hay una), ya que el hotel no posee. No es un barrio del todo peligroso pero es poco transitado durante la noche. La comida del restó es muy rica y es una opción por si no se desea salir. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Excelente Hotel. Próximo a tudo."
O hotel é excelente e dá para ir andando aos pontos de interesse, principalmente na região do Centro/Microcentro e San Telmo. Recoleta acessível via Metrô (Subte), La Boca e Palermo só de táxi. Os quartos voltados para a rua principal (Venezuela) são barulhentos. Ficamos no segundo andar e dava pra ouvir todo o movimento da rua. Trocamos de quarto e […] os de trás são muito mais silenciosos. Recomendo. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Bom e barato"
Passei uma semana em Buenos Aires com minha mulher. Estivemos em três hotéis (como havíamos comprado um pacote para o show do U2, incluindo duas diárias em um determinado hotel, tivemos que conseguir um hotel para antes e outro para depois). Apesar de ter sido o mais barato, o Axel foi de longe o melhor dos três. Não que seja desaconselhável para famílias, […] mas pelos seus quartos (ficamos em um com ótima banheira de hidromassagem com paredes de vidro, voltada para o quarto), pelo ambiente em geral, pela música etc, recomendo o hotel para casais (gays ou não). Na última noite, assistimos a um belo show de tango no próprio hotel (cantor, instrumentistas e casal de dançarinos), sem pagar nada por isso. O hotel ainda tem um bom restaurante/bar.

"good but not worth the money"
The Hotel is "cool", and that's it but it is not the best hotel in town. It is not worth the money that they charge you per night!!! The rooms are small, and very simple. The staff is great, very very friendly and nice. They are the best part of the hotel. Service is great! The area is kind of far of everything. I woudn't go back to the hotel unless […] they lower the price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel para gay? Esqueça isso e curta o hotel!"
O hotel é novo (3 anos), simples, moderno, com soluções de arquitetura e decoração muito bem transadas, limpo (roupas de cama e banho limpas e cheirosas), acesso à internet gratuito, bem localizado (centro de B. Aires) e com um preço bem atraente. O hotel é simpatizante gay (declaradamente, diga-se de passagem) , mas mesmo para mim e para a minha esposa […] que não fazemos parte deste grupo, não houve qualquer tipo de constrangimento pois fomos com a intenção de conhecermos a cidade. Se você não se liga na questão da "simpatia por grupos gays", esta é uma boa opção. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Excelente Hotel, bom café da manhã para os modelos Argentinos, bem localizado, próximo a Florida. Ë um hotel diferente, muito fora do convencional, no site do Hoteis.com não são comentadas suas paritularidades, que também fomos conhecer no check in. Recomendo visitarem o site do hotel em Barcelona para entenderem do que estou falando. Prepare-se para […] um Hotel FORA DOS PADRÕES, mas muito legal e de excelente bom gosto. Boa Viagem.
