“We enjoyed this hotel so much that we returned after touring Argentina. We cancelled our other booking because we knew how helpful the front desk were and how much we loved the view and the room. Near plenty of restaurants, shopping and the subte.”

“Lovely room with a fantastic view over the square in front. Simple but tastefully decorated rooms, spotlessly clean.”

7.8Verified guest

“The staff were incredibly helpful throughout our stay — booking reservations, giving suggestions, and helping us deal with Aerolineas Argentinas when things went wrong. They were available 24 hours and all spoke great English. Breakfast was good with lots of fruit and juice. The room was great, all white and grey with mirrors, and fresh star gazer lilies. Our 9th-floor room overlooked the park and the jacarandas in full bloom — a spectacle through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Location was excellent, a few blocks to the subte and many sights within walking distance. We liked it so much we returned on a short stop before our international flight.”

“The location was exactly where I wanted to be.”
