The Babel Suites are a relatively new addition to the lively (and still slightly edgy) San Telmo. As a result they offer pretty good value in the lower-mid range of hotels. This was my base for my first night in Buenos Aires and it served me very well.
For those unfamiliar with the term ‘Suites’ the idea is for your room to be spacious, and some limited space and facilities for self-catering; so public areas are normally very limited.
In this case there’s a breakfast room and on the roof terrace a few tables and sun loungers, and a very small pool.
The rooms are nicely done with plenty of space, a sofa area, and a balcony overlooking the lively Calle Mexico.
NB: there are a few different properties in Buenos Aires with the name ‘Babel’; be sure not to confuse them.
Book a room here if you want: to stay in San Telmo, with a cool spacious room, at a good price.
