My husband and I stayed at the Raco mid September 2011; simply said our stay was most comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and full of advice - from recommending restaurants to booking tango shows to offering expert advice on local wines. Free WiFi is a plus (which we could not get in another hotel in the city); rooms are clean... More

I had to leave Brasil for VISA issues, I bought flights quickly and booked a room at the RACO at the last minute. The trip was done over New Year 2012, and it turned out to be perfect. I tried 3 different RACO rooms, each decorated with a distintive feel. Due to my disability, I do not walk very much... More

Picked this from TA reviews. Wanted something local in a non-touristy area. Definitely very local in the Almagro neighborhood and hotel is a charming century old converted house. Not posh like Palermo or Recoletta but for a 3 nights stay it is memorable. Location is fairly convenient. Subte (Castro Barrios station) is only few blocks (5-10 minutes walk) away. Have... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 days before Xmas and we had a wonderful time. The staff are all super friendly and helpful. They even gave us some of their precious coins so we could take the bus. The hotel is clean. Very close to the subway and in a safe neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay. More

I HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Buenos Aires! It is said to be a 3-stars and a half hotel but honestly I would rate this hotel with an higher grade. The service was amazing and the people working there put all in place in order to reserve places to theaters and whatever excursions we have done there.... More

I stayed at Raco de Buenos Aires for two nights in November 2011. I read previous guest reviews and was intrigued. My stay was very pleasant. The hotel staff friendly and incredibly helpful. I can't say enough about how welcomed they made me feel. They gave several good options for vegetarian restaurants and things to do on a public holiday... More

I have to preface my review with the fact that my friend and I were victims of robbery and attempted robbery two days in a row (both times, people threw disgusting substances at us and then tried to rob us while trying to "clean" us up) during our 5 night stay in Buenos Aires. Needless to say, we had a... More

I never ever write a review while I'm on vacation but I just can't help it this time. The service at this hotel is extraordinary. The owner Julian, his wife and the entire staff ( Nathalia, Andrea, ....) are so helpful and attentive. They have been so helpful and so patient with all my questions, making reservations for me, recommending... More

I was totally charmed and satisfied by the Boutique Raco. The management/staff went out of their way to help me resolve several practical issues, "without appearing to go out of their way". Nothing I asked for help on was not responded to. The room(s) ---I went back after spending time outside of B.A were more than comfortable, the breakfasts were... More

I stayed an entire week with my 2 year old and mother at this hotel. The cleanliness of the room is impeccable, but like other reviews, it is the service and staff which make this stay so lovely. It is owned by a lovely, friendly family who couldn't do enough to help us. Our breakfast every morning they could not... More
