“Run - don't walk - the other way”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Was booked into this hotel as part of a tour group and the first night we were there, had no air conditioning, even though it was 98F during the day. When we returned two weeks later there was no air or running water. Wi-fi was $10/night, and the place I stayed in the previous night was half the price and more than twice as nice. The tiny room we were crammed into had two twin beds, but you had to crawl into bed with your roomie to get to the bathroom since the doorway was entirely blocked by the bed. Would definitely not have stayed if it wasn't part of the tour.

“Ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I stayed here for two nights which was pre booked by my tour group. Other people in my tour group who arrived in BA before and stayed in other hostels and hotels reported they were cheaper and of a better standard, though I cannot compare. The lobby is the most impressive part of the hotel, otherwise Im not sure how it got its stars. We were on the top floor but always took the stairs as didnt trust the 2 man lift, its right near the Florida shops which is good.

“Wouldn't stay here by choice - there are better hotels in the area”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed here for 2 nights as I was joining a group tour. I think it must be 4 star rated because the lobby is very grand and makes you think it will be a nice hotel and I think there may be a gym. The first night we had a twin room, bathroom was tiny and the aircon didn't work unless you had a pliers. The staff used iers to turn the dial but wouldn't leave it with us so we were stuck with that setting. The second night we were given a matrimonial room - ask for one of these if you can because this was a much nicer more spacious room. If you only care about location, it's fine but there are better hotels priced similarly in the area.On the plus side, they do allow you to leave luggage there for a number of weeks if you need to.

“Great location, not so great hotel...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

As per most of the other reviews, the hotel is in a great location, right next to Florida Rd, for shopping etc... However, the hotel is old and dated, rooms are small and a smile from any of the staff is hard to come by... The elevators are scary...

Room Tip: All the rooms are pretty average...

“Good budget hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011 via mobile

Ideally located to Florida and Puerto Madera, this is a convenient hotel for the budget traveller, with a higher than average level of acvommodation for the price.
