    3 beds in one room was too cramped - there was a closet with drawers which we could not access to store clothes as the 3rd bed was up against it and we couldn't get the door open

    excellent breakfast selection and lovely staff

    They should state clearly about the payment method in their description. My credit card was fully charged the day before I check in. When I checked in, they requested to charge again saying the previous payment is required as deposit. They’ll return after I check out. Of course I still haven’t received. Also, the reception asked for the city tax. I stayed in another motel in BA before and no such request. I understand there’s a tax charge to foreigners. But why not included in the bill when I check in?

    The room smelled a little like sweaty body odor. Not sure why. Some of the wall was peeling. They did not mention I needed to pay for City tax on check out. And it's not mentioned anywhere. It was only 500 pesos, nonetheless, why not charge everything, all at once

    The location is great. It was fairly clean. Check in was easy and quick

    Minor things. My room didn't have a chair, it could've been useful in case I wanted to sit down and do some work on the computer, but the truth is the city has numerous cafes with wifi where you can sit and work for hours and you have no reason to sit in the hotel room. Breakfast was ok, with the basics (scrambled eggs, pastries, fruit, cereal...), I would've liked some more variety, but it was not a problem.

    Perfect location, everything you need available in the neighborhood (restaurants, laundromat, shops, banks), short walk to the metro, and many important sites accessible on foot from 10-30 min. walk (Teatro Colon, Plaza de Mayo, Obelisk, Plaza de Congreso, Recoleta Cemetery and more). Really nice staff working in the hotel, accommodating, courteous and friendly, including reception, housekeeping, and breakfast. Nice comfortable room, very clean, spacious, large closet with shelves and a safe, nice large TV including Netflix and Youtube.

    A little small and dated but a great value.

    The people were amazing. We came in late and the night desk person made a long difficult flight better. The beds were a godsend and it had an elevator. There was hot and cold water available all the time in the lobby. The location was perfect. The area had eating places nearby. We found a lovely bakery, Las Victorias, on Talcahuano Street, nearby for breakfast. We would definitely come again and stay longer.

    The hotel is a bit outdated but it’s good value for money. One thing I wouldn’t recommend is the breakfast. Also keep in mind that it’s not possible to do early check-in or late checkout.

    The location is amazing and the room was clean. Many sights are easily reachable from the hotel. I loved staying in Recoleta!
