Really old hotel

This is a very old hotel in the Avenida de Mayo area. The rooms have no AC and are quite noisy, you can hear people talking in the corridors, also the room carpet feels a bit dirty. Only stayed one night here (thanks god).

A great historic hotel, and a great value. Especially given the free access to the spa. I’ve stayed here before several times. My only issue this time was, the mattress was unevenly worn and past it’s expiration date.

Very good location and you can see it was a beautiful hotel in the public areas in its prime. It does need some refurbishment in the rooms. It was very economical and we were happy with our stay

Old world charm but you get what you pay for

Very nice staff throughout and room well cleaned. Nice retro recetion area. But room was tiny - this was not flagged by Expedia. Lots of youth soccer teams staying there so extremely crowded at breakfast. On our last night, pounding late at night until 2 am from some type of construction nearby (not hotel’s fault). Drains in bathroom smelled a little from old plumbing most likely.

Nice location, but horrible customer service

The hotel is outdated, but in a good location. The night staff was horrible. I believe they do not know what is Customer Service. The morning staff, is much friendlier and professional. The rooms are very old and musky. The mattress really needs to be replaced. The restaurant in the hotel is very slow, and the food is not the greatest. I don't think this hotel deserves 3 stars, i would give them 2!!!

Good Reasonably Priced hotel in Great location

Reasonably priced hotel in great location just off 9 Julio Avenue and the famous Obelisk. The hotel is a little tired and the decor is old in the rooms and the common areas but the staff are nice and as a cheap place to stay in Central Buenos Aires I would recommend it.

AMAZING!!

While the hotel is older it is absolutely amazing. The service is great, attentive and quick. Each stay also includes free use of the sauna and a few other spa amenities. The location is amazing. 30 minutes from the ferry ports, right off the main Ave (Av. 9 Julio). A 10/15 minute walk to the obelisks, BA sign, and local theater. Also close to many museums and restaurants. Amazing location, condition, and luxury for a great price. Would definitely recommend and rebook

Keep coming back to this old but charming hotel If you want to splurge your money, go to the Alvear, but if you want to save money for your steaks and wine, then , go to the Castelar.
