Excellent

Amenities are fantastic. The only downside is the location but this doesn’t even matter when you have everything you need in the hotel (car rental agency, travel agency, gym, spa with sauna and jacuzzi and restaurant opened till late hours) Comfortable beds and spacious rooms.

Staff were helpful although room was an hour late to be ready. Room was quiet.
Room was clean and modern. Convenient parking. We never felt unsafe walking around but the hotel is in a sketchy neighbourhood. That said it is only 4 blocks from the main shopping street.
Very quiet, comfortable and spacious rooms. Outdoor pool had a bandaid floating first day we were there and indoor pool has a strange smell but overall great stay.
The hotel is simple and functional. The room is comfortable and adequate for a short stay, although the overall service is quite basic. They do not provide small welcome amenities such as a complimentary bottle of water, which is usually appreciated after traveling.
The breakfast is simple and of average quality—enough to start the day, but with limited options and not much variety.Overall, it’s a suitable hotel if your main goal is sightseeing and you just need a place to sleep at a reasonable price. Don’t expect many extras or special services, but for the cost it meets the basic needs.

I was locked out of the front door of the hotel! No reception to be found!
I did not enjoy that experience at 4 am! There was a street festival going on just down the road! So I was not partying, was at the festival that went on till morning.
This is a comfortable modern boutique hotel. We were pleased with the parking and the location. The staff was helpful and the rooms clean. The pool is small but you can take a dip and sit outside afterward to cool down.We stayed her twice while in Argentina.obe room had better AC than the other.

This place was fine. The room was beautiful but check in was a bit tedious and the room looked clean but the corners and ledges were not. There is parking, so that’s a plus.
