I had a decent stay at this hotel, thanks to its central location and spacious, updated rooms. The staff was overall friendly, but I did encounter some issues with room conditions and breakfast options. While the value seemed good for the price, the dining experience was below expectations, especially with the limited breakfast selection. Overall, it's a mix of positives and negatives.

My stay was a bit of a mixed bag. While the staff were genuinely kind and attentive, the room I got was in dire need of maintenance and felt more like a budget option than a comfortable hotel experience. The location is convenient and safe, but overall, I left feeling that I could have spent my money better elsewhere.

The room I stayed in was very poorly maintained, with visible signs of mold in the bathroom and a general need for refreshing. It was quiet and comfortable enough to sleep, but certainly not what I expected for the price.

The hotel is well-located in the heart of Recoleta, with loads of restaurants and shops within walking distance. While I appreciated the elaborate breakfast, the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues in the room, malfunctioning facilities, and unresponsive management. Overall, it's decent for the price, but expect some shortcomings.

The room was spacious, but the cleanliness left a lot to be desired, as I noticed dust and areas that could use a good cleaning. I also encountered some issues with the bathroom that would benefit from renovation.

I found the service to be somewhat lacking. There were issues with the housekeeping where they didn't clean properly, and I had to request towels multiple times. On one occasion, I even received calls at 1 AM, which was quite disruptive.

The location is fantastic, right in a safe neighborhood with easy access to the subway and many great dining options nearby. It feels vibrant, and you can easily explore the area on foot.

The breakfast was actually quite nice with a variety of choices, especially for a budget stay. I did hear that they started a new catering service, and they seemed eager to provide a good experience, which I appreciated.
Facilities

Several facilities were lacking, especially with the elevator out of order for days during my stay. Additionally, the bathrooms need urgent maintenance due to visible issues like flaking paint and slippery floors.

I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, it was a mixed experience. The room was quite spacious and clean, which was a big plus for me. However, the service could definitely use some improvement, as the staff didn’t seem very engaged. The location was fantastic and made exploring the city very convenient. I also found the value for money to be quite reasonable, especially given the spaciousness of the room.

I had my ups and downs during my stay at this hotel. The location was ideal, making it easy to explore Buenos Aires, and the room was spacious and stylish. However, the service could have been better, especially with the unexpected transfer to a different hotel, and the dining experience left much to be desired. All in all, it offered decent value for the price, but it wasn’t without its flaws.
