My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a delight, huge, with a king bed and an equally large bathroom with a sauna, although I didn't get to try it. They were nicely appointed and spotlessly clean, but a little uninspired in terms of decor. The service was excellent, with great recommendations for activities in Buenos Aires, but I had an issue with being overcharged for the airport trip. The location was perfect in the heart of Recoleta, close to most important sites, but slightly on the expensive side. The dining was a bit of a disappointment, lacking variety and only offering limited options. Overall, comfortable and quiet, with some room for improvement.

The service was excellent, with great recommendations for dinner, transportation, and sites to see in Buenos Aires, but there was an issue with overcharging us for the trip from the airport.

Location

9.0

The location is very interesting, situated in the old French Club area with nice and big rooms. The breakfast was good, and the staff pleasant, although it is on the pricier side, likely due to the prime location in Recoleta.

Dining

The dining experience was a mix. While the food was wonderful with lots of variety and efficient delivery, the breakfast was actually disappointing, lacking cheese, vegetables, and cold cuts.
