Casa Umare has excellent staff that made an effort to meet our requests and ensure our stay was excellent. The rooms are very spacious and well-designed. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for the price. I'd recommend the hotel if someone I knew wanted to stay there.

Upon entrance, the room had a musty smell and also had a moth or two flying around. I'd recommend to the staff that they consider opening a window (with a screen to prevent insects from flying in) or running the air conditioner to let the air circulate before guests enter. That being said, the room was very clean.

Stunning hotel beautifully designed in a quiet neighborhood. Bed was so comfortable with nice bedding and a great shower. Apartment was quite large with a lovely private outside seating area and a nicely landscaped rooftop deck. Pablo was a great host and was helpful with any questions and he arranged an early morning taxi for us.

I knew the breakfast would be bread and croissants, but still a disappointment considering the price point. Most places we stayed at this price and lower had a much larger selection. The area has plenty of cafe options and fast food choices, but is limited if you want a short walk to dinner or a drink later. We ate lunch later in the day in another area and skipped dinner. Casa Umare does not accept the blue rate, so budget accordingly.

I cannot say enough about the property. It is a wonderful old building lovingly restored by the owner himself, architect and artist. this is a must for people who appreciate the fine details of early 1900s architecture: the wood moldings, high ceilings, stained glass windows, etc. in so many ways I have the sense that I am staying at my grandparents’s home (Alfredo Mandino, a master mason and plasterer, who immigrated from Puglia to NY, building his house in Connecticut in 1920). The furnishings, the leaded glass, the koi pond, are just a few of the personal touches here. We loved being able to sit outside on a patio surrounded by plants of the tropics, the sweet smell of jasmine in bloom filling the air). In addition to the spacious common area courtyard, our suite had its own private outdoor seating area. The concept of this place is fantastic, a condo hotel, where one gets their own suite of rooms yet has the convenience of being able to have breakfast prepared by the staff, or a drink after returning from shopping. The entire place is filled with the owner’s own art. Pablo is a gifted multi media artist. He and the staff all give the feeling of welcoming their guests into their family. Laundry can be sent out, food picked up. Each restaurant recommended was an excellent dining experience. Casa Umare is impeccably clean and comfortable. In the neighborhood of Almagro, real people abound and chat with you in the streets. To experience the Real Buenos Aires, stay here.

it would have been nice if the restaurant had been open for more than breakfast, it would be an ideal setting for a small jazz combo and cocktails.

This place comes as a big surprise! Spacious rooms with high ceilings, some very nice patio's and a spectacular roof terrace. The roof terrace is not completely finished yet but when the long pool is, it will be a big bonus for this hidden gem. We had a quiet apartment on the ground floor with 2 bedrooms. Fresh orange juice and coffee for a basic breakfast. The personal touch and big influence of the owner (Pablo) as an architect and artist, made this casa especially interesting for visitors looking for an authentic place with a lot of character. Be sure to visit the Cathedral Club just a 5 min walk away where you can taste in a good atmosphere and for practically no money, a professional tango performance. Thanks Pablo for all your good information of this part of BA I hadn't visit before!

Some minor things: I dont like to have a shower in a wobbly bathtub with plastic curtains. The doorknob of the bathroom was missing. A guest took it home as a souvenir!

A nice quirky hotel apartment with a large internal courtyard for sitting outside in the shade. A continental breakfast was fine for my wife, as I am Coeliac I was provided with yoghurt and fruit at no extra cost. The staff were friendly and helpful although our lack of Spanish limited conversation.

Whilst we only required one bedroom the apartment had two bedrooms but you had to go through the second bedroom to get to the bathroom. Probably not a problem for those with young family but maybe not so good for two couples travelling together

Excellent location, the place was amazing, a beautiful colonial architecture, high ceilings, central patios with beautiful plants, gorgeous place!! Excellent service. The owner was very kind to serve us breakfast earlier than the usual time to accommodate our schedule. Highly recommended!! Thanks so much!

Pablo made sure the property looked very unique and fitting to its history. It was such a beautiful place with a fine taste for architectural and artistic details. The staff was always kind and made sure you entered your cab before closing the hotel doors. The casual conversations made it even more special and feel at home in Buenos Aires. Thank you for the hospitality, Casa Umare!

An amazing, well maintained historical building with a patio. Perhaps not located in the very center of all things touristy, but it is in a very nice, well connected neighbourhood with nice bars and restaurants in a walking distance. Great staff, always ready to help and have a chat.

The place is a house restored by the owners themselves. One of them is also a plastic artist. Each "flat" or "apartment" has a collection of wonderful paintings. Every detail has been taken care of. The apartments are spacious, and comfortable, with a large bed and a well-equipped kitchen. The shower and heating work perfectly. Because of its infrastructure, it is a place where you can rest but also work. All employees are friendly and helpful. I also recommend the restaurant.

The bathroom has a beautiful bathtub but should have a grab bar. Fruit could be included in the breakfast.

The property is basically a few "houses" connected together. The rooms had very unique layouts that might be jarring to some people, others will love it and appreciate the uniqueness. The property had lovely green courtyard spaces that you could relax in with some tea or wine. The owner, Pablo, and his helpers, were very friendly and helpful and worked really hard to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was really good as well.

To enter the hotel you have to buzz someone at the main entrance (they have a door camera). Perhaps it's for safety reasons. It's not a significant problem by any means but if you like to come and go as you please you lose that feeling. They don't have any time restrictions though; you can stay out as long as you want, someone will be around to let you in.
