Hotel berhampiran Galería Florida Center, Buenos Aires

erano gli anni bui di Buenos Aires, quelli del cacerolaso …. e in tale data che ritornai per la seconda volta in piacevole hotel allora di proprietà di un emigrato italiano, che con la sua esperienza del settore fece di tutto per rendere la nostra vacanza meravigliosa anche per la sua econimicità, e ci riuscì appieno, personale attento e scrupoloso, camera fra gli ultimi piani che ci dava un panorama unico e massima la pulizia, colazioni ricche e abbondanti: La posizione UNICA a pochi minuti c'è Buenos Aires a Vostri ”piedi” : Plaza de Maio con il palazzo della Presidenza … La cattedrale, ( durante la visita conoscemmo l'allora arcivescovo di B.A. poi divenuto Papa ….), Sant'Elmo e il Caminito a piedi mezz'ora …., attraversando la strada per andare alla zona commerciale della Florida, c'era il giornalaio anche lui italiano, con i giornali italiani il teatro Colon … cosa si vuole di più ripeto B.A. alla nostra misura di vacanza a che a piedi !

Clean and well presented hotel in a great location on Av Corrientes. The street comes alive at night with buskers, dancers & small market stalls. The hotel is safe & staff were very helpful. Only (minor) negative was that yhe rooms don’t have kettles so you need to walk down to level 1 to get hot water (bit odd). But it’s a good hotel and worth a visit.

We stayed at the NH Corso as a last minute choice as the hotel that I reserved canceled my reservation, was full and the NH had 1 room left so we took it. I arrived in a very unhappy state and despite my demeanor, Demetrio at the front desk welcomed us with a big smile and kind words. He gave us his undivided attention, answered our questions, and added a little humor to his welcome. Demetrio’s delightful and helpful greeting lessened the stress and hardship of our situation. He was also extremely helpful and friendly throughout our entire stay, as well as the other members of the staff. In fact, he made our stay better than we could have expected. I give Demetrio and the other staff 5 stars. As I hadn’t planned to stay at this property, I didn’t have any expectations. However, I can say that the NH is new and clean; it still has some kinks such as no open restaurant right now, but kinks are common with new properties. The NH is located just off a Main Street with shops and restaurants and a 2 minute walk from the Metro’s Lima red line that is a few stops away from the Duomo stop. There is a buffet breakfast with a nice selection of bread, cheese/meats, eggs/bacon, yogurts, cereal and plenty of sweets. There is also a coffee machine that makes a variety of delicious coffee styles. There is also a selection of milks, including soy. The room has a Lavazzo coffee maker. Hotel problems we experienced: 1. The shower is a nice walk in style, except the water runs past the center drain and all over the floor. It is best to take a quick shower to limit the amount of water running all over the bathroom floor or ask for extra towels for cleanup. It seemed to be an issue for the all the rooms with walk ins, not just mine. 2. The hotel apparently waits until summer to turn the air conditioning on, so the room is very hot, 24C. Although I was able to set the temperature to 18C, it doesn’t actually get any cooler because the air conditioning unit hasn’t yet been turned on by the hotel. We had difficulty sleeping in the sauna that was our room. The gym was a whopping 27C and our workout was quite uncomfortable. We found a usb powered fan at the Kasanova store down the block for 15€ that we stuck in our window that only opens 5-6 inches (image attached). This did help cool the room. I realize that the hotel is a business and that reducing energy costs saves money and is environmentally friendly, but isn’t the customer comfort of the utmost importance when staying at a hotel? Perhaps the hotel can reduce costs by serving less cake for breakfast and allowing customers to adjust the temperature in their rooms year round. Before those 2 problems, I was giving the hotel 5 stars, for the great staff. Because of our discomfort in room temperature and flooding shower, I have given the hotel 3 stars.

Near Obelisk monument. Relatively good location to metro station and modern room, unlike many hotels which are relatively old.

First I'd like to say that the young man who assisted me when I arrived late at night at Up Tribeca was entirely professional and courteous with me, even though I checked out almost immediately after checking in. So: I initially booked three nights at Up Tribeca because the reviews for the hotel were all positive; however, the hotel ”ambience” is entirely artificial and - to put bluntly - weird. All the rooms are centered around an open-air courtyard (btw, that courtyard is the only fresh air in the hotel), and because I checked-in late at night, I had a very hard time trying to find my room number while walking the hallway along the courtyard, as it was lit by a few neon lights that (I guess) gave off a cool vibe, but no actual light. Because it was so dark, I mistook the wrong room for mine and kept trying to open the door with my card, until I noticed (again, hard to see with no light!) the ”do not disturb” sign on the door handle (sorry to whomever might have woken up to me trying to open their door.) I then continued down the dark hallway to my correct room, and when I opened the door, I was greeted to a completely windowless box of a room that reeked of synthetic air-freshener, making it smell like I just walked into a Zara Home Furnishing store. The smell was suffocating, and of course there was no way to open a window to get rid of it because no window existed. If you've ever watched the Apple Tv show ”Severance,” then you'll get the kind of atmosphere this room had: it felt completely claustrophobic and dystopic. I didn't spend more than thirty seconds in that room before I grabbed my suitcase and went down to the front desk, requesting a different room that had a window, only to be informed none of the rooms have windows. At that point, I asked him to call me a taxi, and I left for another hotel. To sum up: if you don't care that you're staying in a windowless box that smells like a home furnishing store in the local mall, you'll be fine at Up Tribeca. Otherwise, I would strongly recommend you book elsewhere.

We just spent a week in Buenos Aires and this hotel was a pleasant surprise. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was terrific. The room was a bit small but still quite manageable. Bring slippers, as the tile floor in the room gets quite cold. I'd also recommend you bring a few coat hangars with you, the wire type you get from your dry cleaners that you don't mind leaving behind. There isn't a hairdryer in the room but you can get one from the front desk. You can also get an iron and ironing board from housekeeping if you need them. There is no U.S. type electrical outlet in the room but there is one European type. The included breakfast was adequate--pastries, cold cuts, dry cereal, cheese, coffee, tea, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. If you arrive early, the front desk will store your luggage for you until your room is ready. There are plenty of attractions within walking distance of the hotel, as well as excellent restaurants. Just a block away is a small, family-run place called Viejo Alsina that features excellent food at a very inexpensive price. The famous San Telmo Market is an easy half-,mile walk. For some reason Uber cannot pick you up or drop you off near the hotel. It's about a quarter-mile to the nearest pickup point. However, the car service (Talixo) we booked to and from the airport was allowed to pull up at the lobby door. That was $74 round trip. All in all, this hotel was perfect and the price was a bargain ($321 for the week). That may have been the winter rate, but winter is the best time to visit BA.

Stayed for two nights pre-cruise and one night post cruise. The building is beautiful but the area around the hotel is not particularly good, albeit a good location for busses and sightseeing etc. The internal architecture and common parts decoration are stunning. Our pre-cruise room was very small, with staining on the bed linen and lamp shades and upon opening the curtains our view was an inside wall. Generally, it was very dated, in need of modernization and extremely dimly lit. The bed however was very comfortable. The shower was also excellent, but the bathroom could benefit from mats as the marble floor was very slippery. Our room post cruise was lovely, very spacious, well appointed, clean and well-kept but again extremely dimly lit. The WiFi was great. The breakfast was excellent on both stays with a variety of choice for all tastes and excellent staff in attendance. All staff we came into contact with were very polite and helpful but our experience in the bar was poor with slow service and being ignored whilst standing at the bar waiting to place an order. If we were to re-visit Buenos Aires, we would unlikely stay here again which is a shame given its history.

Habiéndome hospedado en Ibis Congreso antes de la pandemia, veo que ha decaído ya que ha perdido algunas de sus rasgos que son importantes para el viajero de negocios como asimismo para el turista nacional y extranjero. Una pérdida muy importante es que no ofrecen ninguna computadora de escritorio siendo que hasta la pandemia habian 2. Es algo que deben restablecer y se lo hice saber a la SubGerenta, quien tuvo una actitud desafiante al respecto. Otra depreciación es que no están ofreciendo el diario de papel como lo hacán en la prepandemia, me parece una excusa pésima sostener que pude contagiar covid.... La SubGerenta sostiene que ambos empeoramientos son parte de la pol{itica de IBis en la región, sin embargo, y tal se lo refuté, en países como Brasil siguen brindando ejemplares de los periódicos en papel y hay PCs en el lobby oen un Internet corner. Lo que sigue siendo de alta calidad es el desayuno, con mucha variedad. El servicio de bar también positivo.

A localização do hotel é ótima, pertinho do Porto Madero e de outros pontos como San Telmo e Obelisco - da para ir andando. O café da manhã é Ok. Os recepcionista são excelentes e inclusive você pode deixar suas malas guardadas antes do horário de check-in. A roupa de cama é toalha são de boa qualidade. Silencioso demais, dormi super bem. As instalações são um pouco antiga. No banheiro, o meio blindex não impedia que molhasse o banheiro durante o banho e é bem apertadinho. Não tem muitas tomadas e nem um local para apoiar as malas. Os armários também são antigos, inclusive com cheiro característico.
