Reviews of Hotel Black Boutique

  • Maria from United States – 15 April 2025 (9/10)

    I liked the nice avant garde design, staff was very friendly and helpful, and breakfast was very good.

    What could be improved: nothing I can't think of, it was a nice stay.

  • Robert from United States – 23 December 2024 (9/10)

    After a long hectic day, this was a very nice place to find refuge for the night. Staff was friendly and helpful. There isn't a lot of onsite parking, but it worked well for me. The breakfast buffet was good for hotel breakfast. With a dog park just a couple blocks away, the hotel and location were dog friendly.

    What could be improved: The only very minor thing was that the carpet in the hallway looks a little worn. Really inconsequential.

  • Tota from United States – 30 November 2024 (7/10)

    – Location is good (but don't walk during the evening/night)
    – They clean the rooms & bring fresh towels every day
    – The rooms were spacious

    What could be improved: – Although location is good, during the night the street in front of the hotel is full with prostitutes. Don't walk around the hotel after 10pm.
    – One cleaning maid stole my makeup. I informed the reception and they apologized but they didn't refund me.
    – The breakfast is bad, not worth it.
    – the pillows are super uncomfortable, they need to change them.

  • Maaike from Belgium – 31 October 2024 (8/10)

    Centrail. Quirky. Comfortable bed!

    What could be improved: They forgot to clean my room one day. At night the area is full of prostitution.

  • Enrique from United States – 14 April 2024 (8/10)

    The aesthetic and location were my favorite.

    What could be improved: Walls are too thin, was able to hear the people in the room next door having loud sex.

  • Carlos from Mexico – 22 November 2023 (7/10)

    Nice bathrooms and shower
    I had a problem with the soap dispensation and they solve it really fast
    Really clean
    Free water and popcorn!
    A beautiful view

    What could be improved: Was hard to find the front desk
    Really expensive
    Not as many TV channels as I expect from the price

  • Gavin from United Kingdom – 10 November 2023 (8/10)

    Very friendly staff, use of bikes free to guests.

    What could be improved: Noisy area

  • Boris from United States – 31 October 2023 (7/10)

    Startling lobby and reception area – a combination of golden age of cinema experience with posters and memorabilia & luxury repair shop with glorious vintage cars and scooters. The staff was courteous and helpful. The room was clean, fresh, and of decent size. The neighborhood is sufficiently close to the main sites, and within biking distance from the majority of my desired destinations.

    What could be improved: The complementary breakfast is only a toast with butter and coffee/juice, and only on the first morning upon arrival. This is hardly a benefit, and think it's practically false advertisement just to be able to put it as a perk. Additionally, the fact that it's only available on the first morning was never communicated to us upon check in — the manager did invite us to to receive in on day 2, after we followed up.

  • Noelia from Ireland – 2 August 2023 (8/10)

    The beds were very comfortable.

    What could be improved: The continental Breakfast

  • Philip from Mexico – 9 March 2023 (8/10)

    What could be improved: Provide water… coffee in AM
