Great retro ols style hotel.
This was a house from early 20th century.
All the staff was very polite and helpful.
They were able to acomodate me to another room before a surgery i had.
Some rooms have AC but not all, but good flow from the cycling fan.
The mattress was comfy and i enjoyed my stay.
The staff was nice and professional. I appreciated my stay, after I was unceremoniously rejected by Hotel Porteño at Moreno 1150 due to racism. The showers worked, the sink provided clean, potable water, I was nearby some good, tasty restaurants such as El Rebenque del Omar and El Rinconcito Peruano, as well as some other local chains, such as Kentucky Pizza and a lot of empanada and kioscos (corner stores). Only thing was that the wifi was very weak on the second floor, only on the first, and while I would’ve preferred to have my breakfast at 11 AM, the staff sent my breakfast at 9 AM, which is a little too early for me. Also, the TV in my room was very old and out of date. But the staff was professional enough to earn a good grade. I could stay in this hotel for another time, but it might be for up to a week.

Staff was great and was able to accommodate us to a different room and give us access to a more reliable internet connection. However room doors are flimsy and walls needed a paint job. Breakfast was horrible!

Amazing place for a quick stay near the city centre with breakfasts served into your room. For that price, you cant find a better hotel, with a bathroom in the room! Amazing hospitality from the staff, so helpful and kind. Absolutely recommended!

Simple old hotel with very basic breakfast
Quiet
Courtyard bigger than the room
A propriedade é simples, sem muitos luxos, mas pelo preço tá excelente. Pontos positivos: localização, cozinha de apoio e atendimento. Pontos a melhorar: aquecimento, Wi-Fi.
Llegue para una estadía corta de 5 horas entre vuelos.
Llegue aproximadamente a las 2 AM y la reserva no estaba, además había reservado un cuarto con cama doble y me terminaron dando un cuarto con cama single.
Definitivamente dormir en el piso del aeropuerto hubiese sido una opción muchísimo mejor.
Lo único rescatable la predisposición de la señora que estaba en la recepción para poder solucionar el problema con la reserva.
El resto un desastre, todo feo, viejo y bastante sucio, además el apartamento era muy frío, parecía un iglú.
No recomendable.

Razoável estadia
Hotel razoável, com atendimento maravilhoso, pessoas simpáticas. Só deixou a desejar no café da manhã e no sistema de aquecimento que o quarto estava sempre muito frio mesmo com aquecedor ligado. No restante dos serviços oferecidos, foi tudo muito bom.
El barrio es tranquilo pero de no hay que salir muy noche.

Tá fácil pra acertar e ficar top
Time de atendimento muito solicito, educado e bem humorado.
Quarto tinha interfone, mas não funcionava
Não havia nenhum aviso sobre como funcionava o chuveiro, no quarto que estava hospedado tinha um sistema diferente, e o mesmo estava desligado na minha primeira noite.
