Good price and location.
Pros:

Breakfast

Cons:

It does not feel like a hotel. More like a cottage or hostel. Even having only private rooms.
There is no lift, taking the stairs with big luggage is quite annoying.

I don’t think I would stay here again but it was a cool experience
Pros:

It is a funky little place. Cool art and gardens. The rooftop terrace was tranquil. LaLa the cat and Azul at the desk were both warm, welcoming and friendly. The breakfast room is fantastic.

Cons:

It is definitely not a “boutique” hotel as I would describe it. The room was smaller than we expected, but we were lucky the weather was nice to have seating on the terrace.

Nice! It worth the price you pay. The idea of this place ain’t have a hotel atmosphere. If you like it, try it.
Pros:

Location
Nice breakfast, simple but great

Cons:

No lift, actually it is a big house with rooms spread on 3 floors. So, if you are carrying a big luggage, it might be challenging.

The tube in my room had the drain clogged.

Pros:

The staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast ok.

Cons:

Looks like they converted a large house into too many bedrooms. Everything was squashed and no door in small bathroom so looking into bedroom.
Would be better of redesign the rooms for more comfort.

Friendly and convenient place in Palermo.
Pros:

The staff was great. The front desk helped us with some reservations and could easily communicate with us in English. Gave good tips on Buenos Aries and the Palermo area. The breakfast was a perfect way to start the day. I had a later flight and they held our luggage until we left. This was our 2nd stay here and can recommend.

Cons:

All was good and as expected.

Great stay in great location and staff
Pros:

The location was very convenient in the Palermo district. Easy walking distance to restaurants and public transportation (or Uber-Taxi pickup). The breakfast had great food. Our check in receptionist was super and gave practical advice for touring, public transportation. The 2nd day we had to leave early to take a ferry to our next stop but they prepared something for us and left in the refrigerator.

Cons:

No problems occurred. Only thing to consider (it was ok for us) is the stairs are quite steep to the rooms so if someone has bad knees or limited mobility, they should request a lower level room.

Pictures not representative of the actual rooms.
Pros:

The only positive interaction was the young woman at the reception on our final day who was very helpful when the booking.com failed to materialise.

Cons:

Room: No resemblance to the photographs, small, smelly, tacky, cluttered, uncomfortable. In urgent need of modernisation.

Breakfast: very rigid and inflexible times that did not start till 8:30 which means that we missed it for a couple of days due to planned activities.

Staff: apart from the young lady on our last day, the rest were indifferent and we presume the owners that were sitting at the reception were unfriendly and not very welcoming.

Price: overpriced for the quality compared to the rest of the properties in the area.

In summary, I do not believe the reviews on booking.com represent the reality as the property has no resemblance to the pictures here,
