Lina's Tango Guesthouse Review

If you want to immerse yourself in the tango scene, this is the place. Owner Lina Acuña, who lives in the hotel, hails from Colombia and is a tango dancer. The hotel is also great for women traveling alone; Lina often makes informal trips to the milongas with her guests. While the facade of the hotel dates from the 1960s, the building is turn-of-the-last-century and some rooms retain original elements, with kitschy colors reminiscent of La Boca. The back garden, overgrown with vines and trees, adds to the authentic Porteño atmosphere. Guests and Lina's friends gather here for conversation, impromptu tango lessons, and asados on holidays and weekends. Three of the eight guest rooms share bathrooms. Breakfast is included, and guests can use the small kitchen and a washing machine. There's a TV in a shared living room, and the courtyard can get noisy with people talking and dancing.

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

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.
