I stayed a total of six nights at Principado Downtown and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel is right in the heart of downtown in the Retiro district, making it extremely walkable. There are unlimited shopping options just minutes away, with Galerías Pacífico only a few blocks from the hotel. The rooms are large, quiet, clean, and comfortable, with very comfy beds. A minibar and snacks are available, which is a nice convenience after a long day out. Despite the central location, the hotel remains surprisingly peaceful. The staff truly stand out — super helpful and accommodating. Online check-in was easy, and luggage storage was available, which made arrival and departure days stress-free. The complimentary breakfast was very nice, with a good selection to start the day. Overall, Principado Downtown is an excellent choice for anyone wanting comfort, convenience, and outstanding location in Buenos Aires. I would happily stay here again.

Staying here is like being in an episode of Fawlty Towers. You have to ask several times for simple things ie towells, and dont even consider ordering a taxi pick up at the airport, which they offer. I sent several messages over 12 days and heard nothing. At the hotel they just stared at me. Their business is mostly tour groups so they dont need to worry about catering to new customers. I wont return. There are many other hotels in the same area.
