Excellent location right on Ave. 9 de Julio, with very large and modern rooms. Staff was friendly and helpful and even gave me a hand getting an electric adapter for the power outlet nearby. Breakfast was good, not a huge variety but enough for me. They even prepared scrambled eggs if you asked. The only curious thing I found was... More

Easy to walk to all attractions in BA. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms great but bathrooms small. A table on the mezzanine floor to place toiletries would be useful. Had a great stay here.

The power was a huge issue. they mostly have the angle power outlets rather than the to pronges. The area is busy and exciting... More

This hotel is great in that it's a very modern cool old building. I love the small balconies and large room. Pros: large room, kitchenette, architectural charms, breakfast, friendly staff, temp control. Cons: location is not the best although taxis are cheap, sewerage smell in the room at certain times of the day and night, very small bathroom-no room for... More

The location is good, on one of the main avenues of Buenos Aires, the "9 de Julio". You spend less than 2 minutes to catch a taxi, that is a cheap transport in Buenos Aires. The rooms are very big. We had a duplex with the main room at the 1st floor, and the bedroom and bathroom on the second... More

Ok, so let me get the few downsides out of the way first in order to concentrate on the fabulousness of this hotel. It is pricey ie comparable to that of four star hotels in Sydney, but this is across the board for Argentinian hotels & indicative of a thriving economy. (Shopping in Argentina is also expensive). Breakfast isn't all... More

I stayed at Room Mate Carlos with my husband and some friends and had a really great time. The apartment rooms are very spacious and funky looking. As you enter into the massively sturdy and heavy doors you are greeted by the living area, with a flat screen TV and comfy sofas. Our apartments also had a six-seater dining table... More

Great location, plenty of room. Good place for a BsAs stay. Friendly helpful staff. The breakfast room however smells funny and the mattresses are pretty bad (but maybe that is just an Argentine hotel thing). Still would go back there.

We had a really good stay in Room Mate Carlos and can recommend as a base to see another area as it was also our second hotel in BA. It is in a very central location so easy to reach all sights by bus, tube and foot. Agree, it gets a bit dead around, but still we found two really... More
