Hotel berhampiran Palacio Paz, Buenos Aires

I know this Hotel Since 2004 and visited a couple of times. I near Santa AV, Onje block from 9 de Julio AvV. and les than 5 mins from General San Martin Station (Metro Line C). The guys at the reception are very competent, friendly and attentive. Has 3Elebatores and a pool, restaurant, Sauna, decent Wifi in Lobby and in every floor.. The Hotel has 3 Elevators. Our room was quite big and includes a small refrigerator and a touch induction cooker over the countertop, as well as a microwave. Also there is a 50” Led TV. Air conditioning. Safe deposit Box. The bathroom is well equipped and spacious. Plenty of plugs available in the room (keep in mind that Argentina uses 220V)

The hotel was chosen by G Adventures, the tour group I was travelling with. While centrally located - about 100 metres from Florida Street - the hotel is situated across the road from a sex shop and is in a narrow street full of refuse bins that do not get emptied on a regular basis. The entrance into the hotel is cool and appears quite nice but it is a facade. Rooms in this hotel are not sound proof - they do not have windows and have the minimum - just a bed and fridge. There are no chairs, no hairdryer and no safe not even a picture on the walls for decor. Trying to sleep with all the noise was impossible = just a horrible place to stay. Breakfast consisted of stale breads and pastries. No cooked food and no variety with fruit. The only one plus about the hotel were the receptionist ladies who were courteous, efficient and kind. If you don't care about room aesthetics and room basics and are happy to sleep through noise then the hotel may suit you. It was just a horrible experience for me.

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.

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.

Gran Hotel Argentino in Buenos Aires is located on Avenidad 9 de Julio. The hotel was easy to find, being situated on the main thoroughfare. The avenue is really wide and tree-lined, making it a perfect one for a long walk. The hotel is within walking distance from some of the main landmarks of BA, namely Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada (presidential palace), Teatro Colon and the iconic Obelisco are within walking distance. There are several food joints nearby. All said and done, the hotel is in a good locality. I had chosen a single room and it was really small but clean. I needed to catch a flight at 5 AM and the receptionist arranged for a taxi. For a night, the hotel is really convenient.

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.

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.

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.

After flying 12 hours or so to a city we'd never visited, in a country we'd never visited, to a hotel we'd only ever seen online, we were excited, tired, and a little apprehensive. But all our concerns went flying out the window within minutes of arriving at Hotel Vitrum. The staff were (are) able to flip to English in seconds and were ever so friendly and helpful. There was a warmness and authenticity to their interactions that can't be taught in any customer service manual. We felt welcomed as people, not just guests, or nights or whatever profit units’ hotels use for occupancy. Our suite was roadside yet quiet, modern and almost spotless. And I can recommend the bed as we slept 12 hours straight. The time zone difference between BA and Auckland is not favourable to eastbound travellers. The location for us, was fantastic. Palermo is walk-able, eclectic, hip, raw, historic and funky. And the dining (with craft beer) - oh my - so many quality choices near or even far. Asado, alfajores, empandas, choripan and all the milanesa one can eat. Throw in the wine and walking it all off becomes essential. Luckily Vitrum is within an easy walk of the subway, so all of BA is your oyster. What a pearl of a city it is. We can't wait to go back. Special mention must go to the Venezuelan concierge who made us feel most welcome. If you ever make it to New Zealand there is a seat at our table for you.
