I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were spacious and clean, there was some painting taking place in the hallways during my stay. Unfortunately, my room wasn't ready when I checked in, which was a bit inconvenient.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, although the old carpet and dated bathroom were a bit of a downside. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, going above and beyond to cater to our needs. The location, nestled in the upscale Recoleta neighborhood, was perfect for exploring the city on foot. However, the dining experience had some flaws with cold dishes, yet the variety was still enjoyable.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and cozy, with a very comfortable king bed and a lovely spacious bathroom. However, the room had a strong smell and we encountered bugs in our bed. The service was top-notch, very professional and the staff were delightful, always ready to assist with a smile. The location was excellent, situated on a quiet street in an upscale neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The dining experience left much to be desired, with some cold dishes and limited options initially, although it improved later. Overall, a mixed experience with a lot of positive aspects.

The hotel offers spacious and cozy rooms equipped with an amazing AC unit, making the stay feel more like a 1-bedroom apartment. The staff, including Facundo, Andres, and El Samu, were welcoming and enjoyed assisting us, making our experience enjoyable. The location, although perfect with good restaurants and attractions nearby, might be less comfortable on hot days. The dining experience varied from disappointing to outstanding, with some cold dishes but an excellent selection overall.
