Thanks to the welcome we got at Rooney's, our first impression of Buenos Aires was that of a warm and joyful city. And thanks to the hotel's staff outstanding service, that is the impression we know keep as one of the best memories of our trip. Just stepping in this small hotel we felt among old friends. Nothing pretentious, just... More

Rooney's took great care of us during our stay - from the airport pickup, to the english speaking staff that patiently helped us with all our travel and site seeing arrangements, to the fresh breakfast cooked to order - we had a very enjoyable time in Buenos Aires. The hotel itself is divine - very charming and tastefully decorated with... More

its easy to miss the hotel entrance because it is shared with residential apartments, use the intercom to get 'buzzed' in and out. It is a very heavy front door and there are some steps and an internal doorway before you reach the small elevator/lift, so be prepared if you have heavy luggage! BUT persevere, as this 3rd floor hotel... More

Visiting Buenos Aires for the first time, wanted a small hotel in the centre of Buenos Aires. Not disappointed. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good, probably the best during our whole visit to South America. For the price it was good value, clean, good service and good food. A bit noisy at the weekend... More

My wife and I took our first break for 10 years in November and after looking on line choose Rooneys. Although check in is officially 3pm, we got our room at 09.30 am after a great cup of coffee and cake after we arrived. Front desk was great, arranging day trips, tips on what to see and great authentic eating... More

I feel kinda like a sucker for getting taken in by the AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL photos of this hotel. It's basically like a better-than-average hostel furnished to the taste of Marie Antoinette. It would maybe be more charming if it were not so ludicrously expensive for what you're getting. I paid $200 for one night in a supposedly upgraded room... but... More

Stayed here after our flight to Trelew was cancelled and we had another 2 nights in BA. Staff are excellent - picked us up from the airport, arranged our trip to Uruguay and could not do more to help. Free tango lesson was good fun. Location is pretty good. Rooms are vintage but everything was in good working order and... More

Oddly located solely on the third floor of a nondescript building, Rooney's has a lot of appealing things -- comfortable and clean rooms, a friendly and helpful staff, a fine breakfast, and free tango lessons. The snowy TV reception, on all channels, is a little distracting. And the bathrooms need serious updating, and it takes quite a while to get... More
