good choice overall, just lacking a few details
I'd DEF stay there again. The location, price, comfort, and overall condition were all excellent. The bathroom could offer more amenities (no shampoo, no "wash cloth" that we use in the US) and the kitchen utensils were "dated" but these are just minor. My items were locked in the in-room safe overnight and the security guy couldn't open it so I had to wait the next day. They need to "equip" the security guy to do more but overall, I was DEF very pleased and I'd stay there again. Oh yea, and for Uber, very few drivers could successfully find the street! that's not the fault of the hotel tho!

Good hotel !
My only problem was that some things in room are run down and wifi doesn't work. I stayed in 2 different rooms, both with same problems. Apart from those things, it's a very very spacious room with modern bathroom . Don't get mislead by other reviews. You get what u r paying for! This place is a bargain, so don't expect a Four Seasons

Save your money and avoid this run down location
I've stayed in IQ Callao several times in the last 7 years but it's time to say goodbye. The property is run down and poorly run. Upon arrival at 7pm we were showed to our room (8B) which hadn't been cleaned since the previous guest left. So we found an unmade bed, dirty dishes in kitchenette sink, and a VERY dirty bathroom (including excrement in the bidet). Just horrendous. Since there is no staff available in the evening, we asked the building guard for help. He unsuccessfully tried to contact hotel staff. He was able to give us the "emergency" apartment, which was clean but very rundown. Other hassles: the property offers no cleaning services, skimpy towels, literally only one roll of toilet paper (which may explain the dirty bidet), so you might as well be renting any old space in the city and given current rundown conditions this should compare to a 1 star hostel not to other properties in the Recoleta area. All in all, we had a terrible stay. So we suggest you look at the many other properties available in Buenos Aires.

Check-in time on hotel's website is incorrect
We booked this property because of their early check-in advertising, which says is 9am. Flying in from Atlanta our flight landed early in the A.M, so this place seemed like a great choice. Well, as soon as we got there, the front desk employee told us that the check-in starts at 1pm and said that he had no idea why the website was stating something different. Then, he said that none of the rooms would be ready due to maintenance and that we would have to go to a different property about a mile away. Although he allowed us to use the spa to take a shower and change clothes, we were really disappointed with the service failure, lack of communication and false advertisement.

New building in great location
I have stayed twice already in this apart hotel. The location is great, very near Santa Fe y Callao ( prominent cross road in BA) and walking distance from Recoleta , Plaza Francia, the Recoleta Cultural Center, Museo de Bellas Artes, etc. This is a condominium where a company is renting and managing some of the units, which may be a bit odd. Nevertheless, they hace a front desk open at business hours (Sunday is closed). I had a couple of things that were out of order in the suite and ask them to get them repaired and they did pretty fast. Wi-Fi is mediocre, but this is a problem in the whole city: some times you have good signal and some time it disappears. Downstairs there is an excellent coffee and cake shop called Nucha, where you can enjoy the delicious local pastry, and at the corner Volta, which is a famous Italian gelato chain. Do not leave without tasting it! You have on the same street a restaurant called Melo which has amazing food too. The unit is well equipped and if you need something they can find it for you. The only really bad amenity is the gym: it has a couple of old bikes and treadmills that barely work. They called a car to drop me off at the airport which was much better than a taxi at the same price. (Try not to get taxis on the street, always get them by phone, because they may scam you, specially if you do not speak Spanish)

Bitter Sweet Goodbye
Overall my trip to the Argentinian capitol was amazing. But booking through cheap tickets sucked. They are a nightmare if anything goes wrong. you get connected to someone in the philippines or somewhere out there that cant do anything. But 1st off... the 1 double bed really means 2 single beds pushed together, so expect to fall through the middle. 2nd. I booked with the breakfast included deal. But it didnt show up in the hotel database. And don't expect them to help you out. And like i said, cheap tickets will keep you going in circles. I called maybe 6-7 times and spent maybe 8-9 hours total on hold while they "tried" calling the hotel or transferring me to some1 else but could not ever get ahold of the hotel or they did not answer. And still never got resolved. So i got screwed completely on that. 3rd, right when my gf and I got into the room the safe was locked so we had to wait to have them open it and low and behold the maid has the key, and she had came the next day after we asked to have it opened and front desk guy wasn't there so he couldn't have given it to them... So Whats the point of the safe if the cleaning staff have it then. 4th Money was lets say "missing" from our room... not enough to explode over but enough to notice. I brought the attention to the front desk and said that the staff would not risk their jobs for stealing so little... lol and they cannot be held responsible unless you leave something in the safe and then it comes missing... lol no sense

The staff was wonderful, very helpful and kind.
I love the location. I could walk to so many things. Public transportation is at ones fingertips. This was my sixth trip to Buenos Aires and I always stay here. For me, it is my home away from home. I always manage to get a room overlooking the garden. I sometimes have tea on my balcony, if it is just a friend visiting. I come in very late after going to a Milonga and I feel safe, because security is always there. While the kitchenette is well equipped and small, I have cooked a meal for friends. I keep saying I will try some other places and I still have not. My longest stay was two half months last year and I was quite comfortable.

Great location, nice rooms, bad gym, horrible Wi-F
The apart hotel is located in a nice , not so busy street filled with trees. You can easily walk to Las Heras or Santa Fe, two of the main avenues in BA. The building is quite new, and the units are comfortable, modern and ample. The problem is the management and maintenance. The AC was very dirty so it was super noisy, we needed to call twice until the came to clean the filter, which was filthy. We asked three times for a toaster, and they told us :"Let me see because they steal them often". ?!?! They finally brought one after our third request. The side bed lamp was hanging and they never came to repair it. The gym is a joke: two treadmills (one not working) and one old fashioned bicycle, there is nothing else. The steam shower room is out of order. And the worst part: the Wi-Fi is terrible. I needed to join a conference call with the US and it was impossible, nobody could hear me without breaking out. The reason is that the just have two routers per floor, to be shared by 8 units, so we are all "fighting" for some signal.

Nice and clean. Great location.
Overall pretty satisfied. Three things left much to be desired. 1) WIFI is so slow it is useless for anything but checking email. 2) Gym AC wasn't working. Not good in 90 F. 3) Pool water was murky and you couldn't see your feet.

Everything You Need
We loved the space we had here: bedroom, living room, kitchenette and lovely bathroom as well as a balcony. There is a rooftop pool and fitness room. Staff is very helpful in giving directions and assisting with tours. Location in Recoleta is great, lots of cafes and little stores nearby. Try Melo's restaurant next door or Rodi's Bar, both great places to eat. We would definitely stay here again.

Decent place to stay in BA
Overall, good. The room was nice, there were sufficient kitchen supplies, and there was a table and couch to make it feel more homey. The front desk staff was excellent in helping with remise arrangements, directions, suggestions of places to shop, etc. The desk is open open during business hours though.

Christmas in IQ Callao
We recently spent 3 nights at the IQ Callao over Christmas this year. We thoroughly enjoyed the room and the staff were very eager to please. The breakfast at the adjacent Nucha was ok, coffee and croissants, but a good start to the day. The room was very spacious and clean, and we enjoyed using the balcony for a drink after much walking around Buenos Aires. Good sized bathroom with great hot and strong water pressure. Our only negative comment would be the cleanliness of the outdoor pool. It was disappointing when we came back from our long day of walking around Buenos Aires too find the pool unswimable and not cleaned (green and murky) and had not seen chlorine for a few days. It was too bad as we were looking forward to relaxing by the pool and swimming before heading out for the evening. Apart from that it was a great location and great neighbourhood.
