7.3Verified guest“Rooms were clean and comfortable, with a spacious newly renovated bathroom. The central location made sightseeing easy, breakfast buffet was good, and staff were helpful. Secure storage was available.”
7.3Verified guest“The so-called spa.”
7.3Verified guest“The lobby asked about a credit card every day because of some problem, but it felt like the hotel was only thinking about money.”
7.3Verified guest“The charm and history captivated us immediately. Beautifully maintained rooms and a fine circular staircase added to the allure. We were surprised by live music and a delicious buffet breakfast that turned the space into a notable bar and cafe. Attentive staff made the stay better. Highly recommend for a nice experience.”
7.3Verified guest“Reception made us welcome and immediately granted a room overlooking the main avenue even though we arrived 4 hours before check-in. Bathroom was adequate, bed was good, linens changed daily, and breakfast was good each morning. Free daily access to the excellent spa was a big bonus. Rooms aren't large, but at this price, especially with buses and the underground station at the front door, they're a bargain.”
7.3Verified guest“We were very disappointed with Buenos Aires as a city. It was filthy dirty, and no shops were open on Sundays or public holidays. The beautiful old buildings were in a bad state, and the whole city needs cleaning up.”
