I was actually curious to read through the other comments on this place first because I was conflicted on how to in how to initially review it. The hotel was either under construction or redesign when I arrived in April, but I wasn't particularly concerned about the lack of decor in the lobby - clean, cheap (when I'm paying separate... More

Contemporary design is particularly well done in the lobby and public areas. The rooms could stand a little spiffing up but, all in all, I was pleased with lots of space, a big closet area, kitchen and large bath in my suite. The view overlooking an historic building and park was really nice, and the staff was even nicer. As... More

This place could easily be a 4 star but lacked some of the maintenance and updates you would expect. Very stark contemporary look and feel but 20 yr's past it's prime. Desk support staff was adequate and most spoke enough English to be of assistance when my other wise weak Spanish wasn't working. Good continental breakfast. Most areas of interest... More

I paid for 3 nights and went after 18 Hours. Really unbelievable!!! I stayed at the Design Salta and Bariloche in other occasions and were really good hotels, but this is a disaster. Dirty sofa, dirty plates and placemats. Dirty and plastic!!! ceiling on the bathroom. Holes on every towel, the elevator was not working so we had to take... More

Design Suites is a beautiful designed hotel that may well do some upkeep maintenance. The hotel is well situated, and includes breakfast. indeed the grout in the bathroom may be somewhat grungy and the towels may have seen better days, but overall it is not a bad choice for a mere US$ 100.00. The staff is helpful and friendly, and... More

Let me start out by verifying that previous comments posted are all correct, including that the grout in the bathroom is grungy and the metal fixtures are rusty. After having seen pictures of the hotel online, we were really surprised to find towels that were very thin and threadbare with actual holes! The whirlpool bathtub is noticeably old and the... More

We booked here a couple of nights because we had stayed at the Design suites in Bariloche, that hotel was very good, so we were expecting the one in Buenos Aires to be similar, but no! the location is good, in Recoleta, and is close to my fave bookstore in the entire world, but I wouldn't book here again. I... More

design suites is fine. the location is excellent. it's so similar to boca -- in terms of aesthetic and price -- may as well stay there. where boca excels -- friendliness and helpfulness of staff and cleanliness and comfort of rooms -- design suites fails. as others have said, the guys at the front desk at design suites are inattentive,...

The hotel was very comfortable. The hotel staff very young and rather cold and unfriendly. There are a few restaurants in the area and a park to chill out close by. I stayed there for 2 nights. They have a bubble bath which was just great after a 24 hour trip. The room was equiped with a micro-wave, and a... More
