Have stayed here quite a few times. Generally very good service, stylish design, and very good value. Good location too, not far away from the international airport.Sometimes can be a bit noisy when other guests arrive late to their rooms though.

Very nice and clean hotel, with ok location, however what really made me give the excellent rating was the service. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and fast in every single thing that we needed them.
Breakfast was concise but very good with different fruits and fruit juices, a good assortment of typical Argentinian pastry (especially the medialunas), dulce de leche, scramble eggs with bacon, nice cold cuts, etc. It was very reasonable.
I know that some other reviews mentioned problems with noise, but fortunately it was not my case. I would definitely return to this hotel.

I have generally been pretty happy with most hotels I have stayed in (check my other reviews), including past experiences in Buenos Aires. The Dolmen, while not a disaster, has a number of shortcomings that would have made me reconsider, had I known.

1. Noise - this is my #1 complaint. The hallways are tiled, with no sound absorbency. The doors to the rooms are extremely lightweight. *Any* sound from the hallway is transmitted including people walking, children, the cleaners, the lift, telephones... So far, this hasn't kept me awake, but it goes all the way up to bedtime and from about 6:30 am- so don't expect to sleep in.

2. More noise - I'm on level 14. Stay away from this floor. It is right under the pool pumps, and there is a constant drone. I've found it soothing, because it is constant, but others may not. Additionally, when they clean the water, it's intolerable. When I went to front desk 4 times to say it had to stop, they just shrugged (politely) and said it had to be done.

3. Food - breakfast is a generally below average affair- the scrambled eggs were warm and a bit grey. The rest of the food was adequate, but I decided to venture out this morning and for the rest of my stay to have something more enticing.

4. Standard of the room - the room is tidy and I imagine fairly hygienic. Having said that, the carpet is stained, and there was no plug in the bath. Bed is comfortable. TV is modern LCD. Wifi is actually pretty good.

5. Gym/pool- on the 16th floor, with great views of the district. However, 2/3 pools were not functioning. There was a small gym typical of most hotels (i.e., not really worth using). I'd steer clear, as others have.

6. Staff- friendly, polite.

7. Area- there are better parts of BA, but it' walkable to Recoleta, and there's a tube station nearby (if you haven't used the tube here, it's actually pretty easy and very cheap).

Overall, I'd be willing to accept everything else if the noise wasn't such a problem. That's really a major flaw in a hotel, and I really can't stress how annoying it is to hear *everything*. If you're a light sleeper, or value some relaxation in your room sometimes, I would advise you choose somewhere else.

I was there with my wife and also one of ours sons an his wife too. We spend outstanding vacation thanks to the excellent attention of all the Hotel's personnel
