Bed & Breakfast Casona La Ruchi — Hotel in Tigre

Casona la Ruchi was the very first stop on a two year long trip and we felt like we had never left home. It will be very difficult to find a place better than this. Located in beautiful Tigre on the Parana river, Tigre is the perfect retreat if you grow weary of Buenos Aires dirt and noise. We arrived to Casona la Ruchi without a reservation and early in the morning. We chose this place initially because of it’s close proximity to the train station (it’s just over the bridge-maybe a 2 minute walk!) But it turned out, it was so much more.||||We couldn’t have been more warmly taken in. Casona la Ruchi is an old mansion with antique wood floors and warmly decorated rooms. We were led upstairs to our room that had ceilings that went up to the sky and charming antique furniture. Two enormous doors opened to spill out onto a beautiful balcony where we could gaze at palm trees and the garden. Completely sublime. Towels were laid out for us and in the morning, after an amazing nights sleep on the comfortable bed, we were treated to homemade bread, cake and jams. Don’t miss Dora’s homemade dulce de leche and orange marmalade. Some of the best I have ever had. The owners were so helpful with giving us advice in perfect English, since our Spanish was tragic at the time.||||A house is a home when you put love into it and Casona la Ruchi certainly was loved very much. The morning of our departure, we got a chance to chat with the friendly owners and when we left, it felt like we were leaving home...

Casona la Ruchi is more like a high end hostel than a B and B. After the glowing reviews, I was expecting something different. I can't figure out how people are giving it such high ratings. I will agree that it is in a great location, and the house has some charm. This place was recommended to me by the person with whom we booked our delta tour, and while the pictures did look nice on the website, I could never get the English version to load, so was not aware of the shared bathroom situation. This was a disaster - never once could we get in without a significant wait, and when we did get in, the other guests had used it as if it was their own space. There was laundry left hanging, toothbrushes parked on the limited space by the sink, wet towels left on the floor, hair in the sink, and bottom of the tub was gross. The whole bathroom was a horrible place. ||||Now, the noise. In addition to the incessant street noise, which fortunately we are not terribly bothered by, there is absolutely no sound proofing in the house. Our room was above the entry door, so we could hear people constantly coming and going. And the noise from other rooms and the stairway was very loud. We had a common balcony on the front of the house, and after walking about we were trying to have a little rest, and some women parked their chairs right in front of our door and had a very noisy reunion. ||||As others have mentioned, breakfast...

We went to Casona La Ruchi for a few days to arrange our wedding in Tigre. After a 24 hours longhaul flight and arrival in the middle of the night we were very heart warming welcome by Alejandra, the owner, and her family. With sandwiches in the room and an incredibly comfortable bed. The B&B or family hostel is an old villa that shows that Argentina used to have better times in the last century. Very cosy, breakfast together with other guests around a big table and friendly contact to the owners and dog of the house. We enjoyed very much our stay here and will certainly get back. However, don't expect a fancy bathroom like in a 3-star hotel. The place has other qualities such as a big garden with pool and barbecue that you could rent for a party, no noises from outside, we got a nice room with balcony and view into the garden, which invites to jump into the pool - even during...
