A three star experience

Well, it is a three star hotel, so a three star ranking should be expected. The front desk staff was great. Helped me organise a very last minute tour that was wonderful and inexpensive. The towels had been washed a billion times. In these times of a pandemic, that might bring some comfort, but that was about the only comfort to expect from the towels. I mostly care about bed comfort and wifi. The bed was very comfortable, with memory foam pillows. The wifi was almost nonexistent in my room. I had to stand near the front door to send emails. Overall, it was a six out of ten experience.

Below Average Hotel and Location

Very noisy rooms. Not a great location. We only stayed for a few hours but would definitely not recommend this hotel. Just average accommodations. Rooms could be cleaner. The comforter on the bed was stained. The complementary WiFi did not work in the rooms. I did not feel the surrounding area to be very safe and you are far from most of the good cafes, restaurants and bars. Look for a property closer to Plaza Independencia if you are looking for a more comfortable stay in Mendoza.

My main complaint was that I was on the 2nd floor, (really the 3rd floor according to US standards) and I heard traffic noise all night. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. It was close to the bus station. Just 20 pesos away.

Raul is a rock star

First, the things that could be better. It was a little bit far from the city center (though only a 10 minute walk), the wifi was weak in certain areas (which I happened to need) and the breakfast was meh, BUT the staff there were super helpful. I don't speak Spanish (note, it is really hard if you don't) and Raul and another gentleman whose name I didn't get were so helpful in making day trip arrangements and making sure I was able to get to the places I needed to go. They really went out of their way to be helfpul.

Sleepless night in Mendoza

Two couples in our party. One had a room at the front, and one at the rear of the hotel. We all had sleepless nights due to noisy traffic most of the night at the front and barking dogs at the rear. There seemed to be a pack with one starting off all the others. The Dakar is slightly out of the centre, so we thought it would be a little quieter - not so. However, in it's favour, it is within a 10 -15 minute walk of the main square, shops and restaurants. We would not stay here again, and in fact left after two nights, although we had pre-booked three.

The hotel offers a pool, but we never used it since it looked like it hadn`t been cleaned in a long time. The water was so dirty that it was impossible the bottom of the pool. The floor in our room was far from clean, but otherwise clean sheets and towels. Helpful staff.

Hotel Dakar convenient, well-priced and pleasant

The Dakar is in walking distance of the bus station and within10-15 minutes of Mendoza's center. Our room was spacious but sparsely furnished. The bathroom was modern and spotless. Continental breakfast adequate. Wifi in lobby and breakfast area only. Exercise room and spa facilities are a nice feature.

Noisy room, huge pack of howling dogs outside the window

This hotel had a good price and was okay for one night. But some of the front desk clerks were rude and unwilling to help us find things to do in the area, and seemed annoyed we were asking. A few of them were nice too, but one or two in particular were really rude and had no place in the service industry. They just seemed unfriendly and unsociable and had no recommendations - which is really why they are there in the first place! The bed was comfortable, with a king size bed with a soft down comforter, and a minibar stocked with affordable sodas, water, and local malbec. My main problem with the room, however, was the MASSIVE pack of howling, barking, yelping, mangy dogs just outside our window, that barked on and off throughout the day and night and were very loud! Even if I looked out the window down at them, they saw me and started barking frantically in my direction. That made me think they were malnourished, which was depressing. They seemed to be enclosed in small square areas enclosed by tall cement walls, like a prison, and just did not seem happy or healthy. Dakar should speak to the owners of the dogs about not keeping them outside all the time or not having a ridiculous amount of dogs to begin with. Also, do not advertise your hotel as having a pool and hot tub when both were empty (lacking water) during late spring/early summer, when it is peak period to use them. Next time, would want to stay in a more central location, maybe near Plaza Independencia.

Me hospedé en ambos hoteles DAKAR y GRAN DAKAR que estan interconectados. Los dos tienen muy buenas camas, las habitaciones son amplias (más las del Gran Dakar), tiene secador de cabello, te proporcionan todos los elementos de higiene, muy limpio todo. La recepción es muy buena, la atencion es buena también. Por la noche la recepcion del Dakar cierra pero a media cuadra está el Gran Dakar, se ingresa por ahí, hay alguien 24hs. Los desayunos son similares, tienen: tes, cafe, leche, cereales, queso, jamón (el gran dakar tiene Jamón crudo), yogur, ensalada de frutas, frutas, pan, medialunas, etc. Muy completo. Los lugareños nos dijeron que no anduvieramos caminando por la zona de noche. De todas formas en 10min con un Uber estas en la plaza independencia, un costo de 3.000$ por viaje. Asi que la ubicación no sé si será la mejor pero a nosotros no nos modificó en nada el lugar dónde está ubicado, es más, DE DÍA fuimos caminando a la Casa de San Martin y al Área fundacional, nos movimos en cole también porque tiene muchas paradas cerca, repito de día. Tienen GYM y el Gran Dakar una piscina cubierta. Yo recomiendo ambos hoteles.
