“On what basis could this be advertised as a four-star hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2010

The front office staff was rude, indifferent and inefficient. They called me room twice when they were looking for another room, once in the middle of the night, once early in the morning. The rooms were dingy and smelly. The beds were tiny and uncomfortable.
The drained was stopped up. The lamp at the bedside didn't have a working bulb. There was no clock in the room. The Internet did not work. If you are interested in being in the heart of the Calle Florida shopping area, then the location is good, but there must be better hotels to stay in.

“Very pleasent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 March 2010

Me and my friends went to Argetina and Uruguay and we stayed in this hotel. It has a great location in Lavalle street and its near some very good attractions. It was very clean, the rooms were big enough and for the price we couldnt ask for anything else. The breakfast was also very pleasing.

“BIGGEST DUMP IN THE WORLD”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We booked this hotel months ago for our Jan trip to Buenos Aires .The lobby looks fine modern and clean .The rooms ..so called STANDARD are a disgrace ..old .,old OLD ,sewage smellybathroom ,VERY uncomfortable beds and pillows .towels I would use as floor rags .Ladies at reception when I asked to change rooms CATEGORICALLY refused .They wanted more money NOt helpful at all.VERY poor service. Refused to let me speak to manager .VERY aggressive no PR told me I could write and complain all I want she did not care .I speak fluent Spanish and when we arrived I heard them say give them that room they are from EXpedia .I have since advised the company about such treatment
Elevator is SMALL hardly fits 2 and never at floor level you could easily trip getting out.Breakfast had BURNT rolls and spoiled fruit which I DISCREETLY pointed out but was recycled instead of being discarded .They refused to give me a better room because I booked with Expedia They sent us to eat at tourist traps .I ordered a REMISE taxi with them to leave ...they never did it
This hotel has 4 STARS ...it does not desreve 1 MOON .It is a REAL DUMP .RUN away from this place .I spoke to many clients THey felt the same way
There is nothing Grand or Kingly about this place .TRYP around the corner better value and accomodation for about same money
No one should stay here .It is a horrid place ...the worst in ALL my travels

“Awful front desk, standard room-do not even try, go for deluxe-at least no smell.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2010

Great location!
Mediocre buffet, same cold food... limited variety.
Front desk-do not want to even try speak English . Thanks for some bilingual friends. Deluxe room is fine, but has a lot of plumbing issues.. DO NOT EVEN TRY TO STAY AT STANDARD ROOM! Smell, old broken furniture, poor bedding.
