Swoop’s own Harriet stayed came back from a Patagonia trip recently where stayed at the Hotel Babel in San Telmo, Buenos Aires.<\/a>
\nHere she reviews the facilities and general feel of the place.<\/p>\n

Located in a 200 year old building in the San Telmo district a stone’s throw from Plaza Dorega.

I arrived very late at night and a sandwich and bottle of water had been made for me which was very considerate. The staff were all bright and bubbly and incredibly helpful.
\nThis gave the hotel a really homely feel.<\/div>\n
