Lugar Gay Bed & Breakfast

El desayuno básico pero suficiente. El lugar es acogedor y muy amistoso. Santo y Javier muy amables.

Perfecta y agradable la atención de Santo y Javier, muy cómodo, buen desayuno, buen descanso, todo! Volvería la próxima en verano y me quedaría más días

I heartily recommend Lugar Gay (LG) for those who prefer the intimacy, charm, and simple comfort of a B&B, instead of the generic, modern luxury and high price of the big four- and five-star hotels downtown. My stay at LG was in the off-season southern hemisphere winter (June), so the rooftop terrace was closed for the season, but no matter - on the upside, having few guests, was very quiet and peaceful. My room was delightful –charming, cozy and comfortable. LG is located in an older, but well-maintained building in the oldest neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Even the keys to the building had a retro charm to them – no electronic key cards here, but rather beautiful old brass keys and strike plates adding to the old style charm. My room was clean and comfortable, with an ambiance of a rustic, country inn - beautiful, polished hardwood floors with a dark honey colored patina, comfy twin bed covered with a thick, beautiful bedspread, keeping me warm and snug. All the basic comforts and conveniences – heat, shower, toilet, Wifi – were all modern, and worked with no problems. My room window looked out over an old church, and the San Telmo neighborhood was ideal - centrally located near good restaurants, Plaza Dorrego and the San Telmo antique markets, and is located just a few minutes walk from the San Juan metro (Subte) station. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and practically wrote out an itinerary for me with tall the best places to visit for my three-day stay. Breakfast was continental, simple, and tasty with medialunas, cereal and milk, yoghurt, and nice strong coffee. In summary, I enjoyed my stay with LG very much for its friendly and hospitable staff (muchas gracias, Santo, Javier, Juanjo), charming décor, cozy ambiance, and fantastic location. It really enhanced my stay, and I whenever I returned in the evening after a day of sightseeing, I always felt like I was “home.” I will certainly return there on my next stay in Buenos Aires.

Just a few minor issues - the little heater in my room was kind of difficult to figure out how to use; also there is a rather long flight of stairs up to the rooms (no lift). But for me these were really no big deal.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Good location fro exploring San Telmo area.

Its a bit far from some of the gay night life but taxis/uber or buses are cheap.

Santo is an excellent host - total professional. San Telmo is a pleasant location too.

Some scary stairs upon entry & cellblock style walkways to rooms - not for Granny's
