Good hotel but the area is not so safe at night time (after 9.30 pm) Very easy to walk around and you can Reach most touristic Places easily. No problem for breakfast you can chose what coffee bar you want at walking distante.

The hotel is not located at main street, but it closed to restaurants and pharmacy. Uber pick up and drop off in front of the entrance.

Good stay and room temperature was below average
The room temperature was not satisfactory. Often it was very cold for 2 out of 4 days and required multiple attempts to address on both day 1 and 2 of stay. Outside of that, hotel is centrally located and in a safe area

This modern clean property is the perfect base from which to explore Buenos Aires - everything is within walking distance. Even though they do not offer breakfast there is a convenient 'eating area' with microwave, kettle, coffee machine with all day free coffee which all is great. The best thing about the place though are the super helpful reception staff - they are amazing - special shout out to Valentine!! Thank-you to you all - you are what makes this place a great experience!

Muy buena. Únicamente detalles, cómo las velas del jacuzzi sin pilas, no había espuma de baño, shampoo y acondicionador de mala calidad. Pero después el resto excelente

Excelente custo/benefício
Hotel com excelente localização, funcionários atenciosos e prestativos. Limpeza do quarto excelente e máquina/área do café com diversas opções grátis. No entorno do hotel infelizmente sujeira e odores, mas não é perigoso andar à noite. Oferece diversas opções de lanches e mercados, com Avenida Corrientes bem próxima.

Dificuldade no hotel
Banheiro muito pequeno, mal projetado. Piso encharca com muita facilidade. Não tem café da manhã, o que dificulta muito , pois não tem local próximo para fazer a refeição. Mostra uma foto na hora de alugar e chega é outra totalmente diferente.
