Frommer's Review

If you want to immerse yourself in the tango scene, this is the place to stay. Owner Lina Acuña, who hails from Colombia, is a tango dancer and has created a charming little spot for the tango community from around the world. As a woman-owned space, it's also great for women traveling alone, and Lina often accompanies her guests on informal trips to the milongas, offering a unique inside view. Lina has painted the rooms and patio in kitschy La Boca colors, and vines and trees add to the Porteño atmosphere. Guests and Lina's friends gather on the patio for conversation, help with each other's dance techniques, and asados on holidays and weekends. Three of the eight guest rooms share bathrooms. Rooms come in different sizes, but all are big enough to share. Guests can use the small kitchen and a washing machine. The TV is in the shared living room. If you're all about tango, this is where you should stay.

Facilities:
Continental breakfast; self-service laundry; tango tours; self-service kitchen

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
