Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was an interesting experience. The room I stayed in was tiny compared to what I saw online, but it was clean. The service, although attentive, had some issues with responding to room calls promptly. The location right beside the iconic Obelisco of Buenos Aires was a plus, making it easy to explore the city. The dining options were top-notch, although not included in the room rate.
The hotel needs significant renovations but has a brilliant location near the obelisk and ideal for theater visits and city tours. The rooms are outdated, like a hostel, and need upgrading. Service was cold and impersonal, lacking hot water during my stay. The dining experience was subpar compared to local pastry shops. The facilities, albeit basic, need improvement.
The hotel needs some updates and decoration in the rooms, as they looked much different from the ones advertised. The rooms were too small with limited space to walk around, especially in the bathroom. Service was fine overall with a very good breakfast, but some staff members, particularly the night shift worker, appeared cold, impersonal, and unfriendly, lacking a caring attitude. The location is absolutely brilliant, being near the obelisk and providing easy access to all points of interest. The dining experience was adequate, but fell short when compared to pastry shops outside the hotel in terms of quality. Despite this, the hotel included passable options like bacon and eggs. Facilities were average, without any remarkable features.
My stay at the hotel was decent overall, with some positives and negatives to consider. The rooms were a bit outdated and lacked some amenities for a 4-star experience. The service was a mix of helpfulness and some communication issues, but nothing significant. The location was great for exploring the city, although room comfort could be improved. The dining experience was okay, with room for enhancement in the variety of options. The facilities were standard, nothing outstanding.
The hotel's location is central, perfect for theatre, eating out, and city tours. The rooms are cozy but noisy due to heavy traffic. The service was helpful with reservations, despite some shortcomings like no hot water. The dining experience is excellent with a wide food selection. The facilities are decent, though some areas need improvement.
