Hotel berhampiran Local 3B, Retiro Station, Subway Line C di Buenos Aires

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.

725 Continental Hotel is in a central position, short walk one way to Plaza de la Republica, with Obelisco, and a short walk the other way to Plaza de Mayo.A stop for the open top bus tours is on the other side of the street. Hailing a taxi is easy on the roadside but reception ordered a taxi without charge. The hotel has no car park, but there is paid-parking nearby. This art deco building is in a street of such buildings making for a scenic cityscape, both from the street and roof top terrace, where there is a bar and small pool. Sunset drinks were enjoyed on the roof. Room and ensuite was large and everywhere was clean. Reception directed us to 2 double rooms before finding the twin we had booked, which was an unwanted inconvenience after a long journey. There was a paid mini bar but no kettle in the room. View was across to the buildings the other side of the street. Air conditioning worked well. The lifts are slow and the wait was tiresome, but fortunately we could use the stairs from our room on a lower floor. Breakfast is served on the first floor, and there is a bar and restaurant on the ground floor, which we did not use. There are tango shows and many restaurants within a short walk of the hotel. Breakfast buffet was adequate with omelettes cooked to order. Window tables have picturesque street views. Facilities give the five star rating, but 725 Continental Hotel is more comfortable than luxurious. Location and service on offer made it good value.

Hotel com excelente custo benefício. Localização muito boa! Por avaliações em sites de hospedagem, pedimos para não ficar no 1º andar e essa é a melhor dica que posso dar. O nosso quarto no 2º andar era bem silencioso! Acho que, de fato, os quartos do 1º andar devem sofrer bastante com o barulho. Oferecem um café da manhã simples que quebra um galho. Indicaria mil vezes.

I don't know how this hotel got its rating, because it's very far from 4 star in my mind. The rooms are just fine and basic, but the bed was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on in my life. The mattress was so lumpy had a big indent and tilt I had to sleep in, so could only lie in a specific position on the edge of the bed. I really can't overstate how bad the bed was. The showers aren't great and the shower curtain kept falling off and they just kept gluing it back on. Weirdly, they are also strict on toilet paper. They won't give you a spare roll, even though when we arrived we only had just under half a roll left from the last guest only. I'll also mention that we were on the first floor which was very noisy, from hearing absolutely everything on the street to the people in the bathroom above us. The breakfast is fairly miserable, but seems consistent with other hotel breakfasts I had in the same region. Just a few pastries, cereal, some bread and warm ham and cheese. I'd recommend sticking to eating the croissants only. I will say, the hotel is conveniently located to the city centre.

This was a very reasonable hotel in a great location, there is no bar or restaurant in the hotel but almost next door are a number of bars and restaurants which serve plentiful good food. The rooms are not plush and could do with refreshing but they were comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast had scrambled eggs and all the meat cheese and baked items and was free. We stayed 6 nights in all. 3 before our cruise and 3 afterwards.

La limpieza y el personal; fue muy buena. La atención muy amable, en gral todo limpio y bien atendido, tendrían que renovar las alfombras, se ven viejas y renovar la luz. La habitación; Muy amplia, la tv muy chica, el baño demasiado pequeño, el aire funciono bien algo ruidoso. la cama muy buena. Ubicación; Próximo a Pto Madero, Calle Florida y demás ptos de interés, volvimos muy tarde de cenar, las calles desoladas algo tenebrosas EL sector piscina; descuidado. jardín sin mantenimiento, macetas vacías, deck terraza inhabilitado por estar roto el piso de madera, pocas reposeras y sillas plásticas sanas, Desayuno; faltaban algunas cosas, pero en gral bien Fuimos por ser un hotel emblemático que queríamos conocer, fue un hotel de lujo que mantiene detalles de calidad en diseño y equipamiento de aquellas épocas, pero si sigue en este nivel de cuidado recomendaría que vayan pronto antes que se cierre definitivamente.

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.

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.

La llegada muy bién el chico de la puerta en las mananas, durante todo la estadía, el personal de la tarde, no me quería ni abrir la puerta aunque estaba lloviendo. El servicio de atención en partes , despectiva, y los precios no cordinan con los del la red. Por internet prometen 5000 Pesos y en la entrada el hombre me pedía 14000 pesos. Al día siguiente sin embargo escuché que a otro hombre le pedían por cada noche 5000 Pesos. Algo así es inaceptable y dudoso. La banera sin tapón, las cortinas sucias y la tv no funcionaba bien. Cama y colchón bién pero faltan mantas, hacía frío. Internet muy lento en las habitaciones. En general bien, para salir del paso.

Avoid this hotel at any cost. It was a shameless bait & switch tactic. We booked a quadruple room at the Recoleta Luxury Boutique Hotel. We prepaid a few nights to be on the safe side. When we showed up to check in according to plan the room we were supposed to occupy was not available due to, supposedly, emergency renovations. Staff gave us contradicting explanations: some pipeline had flooded the hotel but the renovations seemed to be more than just a last minute fix. It all looked planned. The unavailability of our room certainly came as a surprise, we had been in touch with hotel staff repeatedly throughout the prior weeks. They claimed that they did not have contact info to let us know about this unexpected turn of events: false, they had sent us confirmation of our booking to our email address. We had contacted them several times over the phone and in person leading up to our stay at the hotel. They sent us to another establishment belonging to the same hotel chain: the so-called Le B Club & Terrace. Ignore the pompous name: it is a student hostel with horrible maintenance and lousy hygiene. We are talking roaches; walls badly in need of a coat of paint; a rickety, claustrophobic elevator on the brink of malfunction, and a curious reluctance to change our towels, among other details. Both establishments seem to be seriously understaffed. The little staff there is available comes across as terminally uninterested, apathetic, jaded, possibly untrained, prone to lame excuses and bogus explanations. One of their pretexts was “I can’t help you because I just started in the job”. When we finally got lucky enough to confront the manager of Recoleta Luxury Boutique Hotel, an elusive woman by the name Carolina, she apologized profusely and claimed to be on our case. Once again, she wrote down our contact info (or pretended to do so). Several days have passed and we never heard back from her: out of sight, out of mind. In short: avoid this hotel and all its other sister establishments at all cost. It will be a disappointing and at times infuriating experience.
