What guests think

Across many reviews, 1828 Smart Hotel Boutique is praised for its warm, exceptionally helpful staff, a tasty breakfast often served late, and a safe Palermo Soho location steps from restaurants and shops, with a calm courtyard pool for relaxing.

Rooms are generally comfortable with great beds and modern touches, though several guests found them compact and some bathrooms tight or oddly designed. Cleanliness and maintenance are well regarded overall, but a few reports cite dusty areas, stained curtains or outdoor furniture, slow elevators, sporadic hot water problems, and occasionally warm rooms due to centralized AC. Expect a small, stylish boutique base well suited to exploring Palermo.

Being a sustainable hotel is what caught my eye with this option. Loved my stay. Overall excellent stay as it’s in the heart of the vibrate area but quiet. Wonderful offering for breakfast, free VIP wine and pool area is calming. Gym and sauna are added bonus.

Really nice staff - Ruben was so kind helping us find some resources around town and giving us full details on what we needed. Our rooms were perfect, the beds were great/truly comfortable. The staff is suburb and although I thought that the elevator would be loud in the room, I never heard it. The bathroom amenities are nice - neutral body products. The air worked well without being loud (sometimes it's truly annoying at hotels), the shades completely darkened the room, the pillows were mighty comfortable and the safe was ample for computer and other necessary items to fit without a problem. The "closet" hang bar was ample as were the shelves for unpacking and staying organized. The location is convenient. The only bit that was annoying was the slowness of the elevator, which was manageable because I took the stairs when i wasn't with my luggage. Internet worked well. All around nice stay, punctuated with - I'll say it again - really excellent staff. Thank you.

we booked our flight from Las Vegas, NV and when arrived at this hotel there was a big red tag outside their door that said "clausurado" meaning it was shut down by the city due to non running water. This hotel never notified us; per staff the water stop running on Tue and we arrived on a Fri. They sent us to a lower quality hotel were rates were $100 cheaper per night and manager refused to refund us. My issue was that they never notified us that they had no running water; they waited for all guest to show up and they were sending us to different hotels that were at a much lower cost

Such a beautiful little boutique hotel. I absolutely loved the breakfast, especially the fact that it is available until 12 pm. The outdoor amenities don't seem to be used much by guests so they were kind of unattended to but still a great place to sit and read. The staff were really helpful and make sure your stay is very comfortable.

The hotel was in a good location and the staff was very nice, but the air conditioning is a central system with no control in the room. It was extremely hot in our room during our stay. We could not open the windows because of the bugs and the loud water fountain and pool outside of our window.

My stay at 1828 was top notch from start to finish. The hotel was located in a convenient side of Palermo where you could easily walk to good eats, shopping, bars and other areas of BA. The staff was very nice and responsive. My room had a king size bed and balcony. The room was not huge but it worked fine for me. I absolutely loved the water pressure of the rain shower. Their breakfast was included and delicious. I would definitely come back again.

My only complaints are that I couldn’t get the Nespresso machine or TV to work, and the pumps on the toiletries in the shower didn’t work. I had to remove the pumps. Minor issues!

We had such an incredible stay here during our time in Buenos Aires. This hotel is located in the heart of Palermo and was easy walking to tons of cafes, restaurants and shops. It was quiet, secure, and had clean spacious rooms. The best part of our stay was the service. Our flight arrived in Buenos Aires 0400. 1828 Smart Hotel kindly allowed us to enjoy the common areas (including pool/spa/showers) upon our arrival at 0600 and hold our bags until our room was ready. They kindly allowed us to check in as soon as the room was clean. The following week, we had a layover in Buenos Aires, and again, the staff generously offered for us to store our bags there and use their showers so we could enjoy a final few hours in Palermo before we flew back home. This made such a big difference on our journey home! Only have positive things to say about our stay here!

No hot water when we arrived but we were told a couple hours and it would be sorted. Not a big issue at the time but we went on a day trip and when we got back, no hot water. In the morning the shower was still a problem, I had to run around under it to get wet. The service at breakfast was slower than the lift and the lift is painfully slow.

The staff was very nice and helpful, responding to anything we needed quickly and effectively. We also appreciated the security measures in place to make sure we felt safe and taken care of during the stay.
