Location: While the location is near the Recoleta district, it's not quite there, so don't be misled by the name. You will need a cab to get to the cemetery, the church and the park. The street it is on (Marcelo T. de Alvear) is not one of those charming streets in Recoleta, you will need to walk four or five blocks and get to the other side (the "good side") of Santa Fe avenue, to start seeing the real Recoleta district.

Rooms: Our twin room (803) was more like a 2 star than a 4 star they claim to be. The curtains were ripped, the fake wood floor was completely scratched, we had asked for a non-smoking room but the one we got obviously had been used previously by a smoking guest. But what I couldn't figure out is why they have both light switches on one side of the beds, your companion has to always ask you to turn his/her light off or on. This also happens in the rooms featuring only one bed. The bathroom was tiny and the floor was dirty.

Restaurant: the breakfast buffet was average, however, the food for lunch and dinner was exceptionally good and the prices very reasonable. The chef certainly deserves a better establishment.

Internet: wi-fi plus free access at 2 screens in the lobby.

Spa: everything, pool, jacuzzi, showers, is minimal, you get the feeling they are there only to claim their 4 star status.

You can do better in Buenos Aires for the same money.
