Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a fabulous stay at this hotel. The rooms were bright, spacious, and super comfortable, especially with the king bed and large bathroom with a sauna. The service was top-notch, with a keen eye for every detail. The location in Ricoleta was elegant and convenient, close to restaurants and shops. The dining experience in the courtyard was perfect, offering a wonderful variety of dishes. Overall, the facilities were excellent, making my stay truly enjoyable.
I was pleasantly surprised by the room setup, which included a full wet room and a second bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and toilet - my husband was thrilled. The room was delightful, spacious with a king bed, and a large bathroom with a sauna. The hotel had much to offer in terms of amenities and services.
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.
