The hotel is conveniently located near many tourist spots in central Buenos Aires, providing easy access to various attractions. The rooms are equipped with nice bathrooms but lack heating or air-conditioning, and they are in a rather bad condition overall. The service was accommodating when I requested a room change, demonstrating professionalism. However, I faced challenges with the hotel reservation as the booking through an external platform did not match the hotel's information regarding breakfast inclusions. The hotel's reception desk was helpful, but there were no efforts made to resolve the discrepancy. The location is superb, situated right on the main avenue and close to the subway line, offering convenient connectivity to both airports in Buenos Aires. The dining experience featured mostly stale cake and bread, which was included in the rates. The facilities, though not highlighted in detail, provided basic amenities. In terms of price and value for money, there were some shortcomings, considering the discrepancies in the reservation and the condition of the rooms.

The hotel is located right at the main avenue, nearby most tourist places in central Buenos Aires. The rooms are in pretty bad condition in general with nice bathrooms but need an update in the curtains. The service accommodated our request to move rooms with professionalism. The dining experience includes mostly stale cake and bread. The location is convenient, close to almost everything in the heart of the city.

The hotel is very conveniently located in the heart of Buenos Aires, making it easy to access all the main tourist attractions. The rooms are spacious, with a variety of beds for flexibility, and offer a lovely view of the bustling city. However, the condition of the rooms is not the best, lacking some maintenance, and the dining experience could be improved with fresher options.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although spacious, were in a pretty bad condition in general. On the bright side, the large bathroom was a nice touch and breakfast was included. The service was a bit of a letdown when they made no efforts to solve my reservation issue, but they did accommodate our request to move rooms with professionalism. The location, despite some issues, was near many tourist sights and the downtown area of Buenos Aires. The dining options were a miss with mostly stale cake and bread, but at least they included seasonal salads. Overall, the facilities were decent, but with room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience staying at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right in the center of Buenos Aires with nice restaurants nearby.

The dining was included but mainly offered stale cake and bread. The facilities were decent but nothing extraordinary.

The hotel's location is superb, in the heart of Buenos Aires making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms, although spacious with a terrace, are in bad condition. The service was a mix - while accommodating room requests with professionalism, they made no efforts to resolve issues with the reservation. The dining experience included locally inspired sweets but lacked freshness. The facilities are average with limited amenities. Overall, it offers value for money but falls short in some key areas.
