All ok. Room small, noise from lifts were a bit annoying. Shower was disappointing, but faulty shower head was replaced quickly. Breakfast good. Spa needs updating but free use of sauna and steam room was welcomed at the end of a long day sightseeing. Split facilities for men and women, swim wear required. Location ok, walking distance to Plaza Mayor.... more

Stayed here in August 2009, the lobby is wonderful but rooms are horrible or at least ours was. The rooms are in desperate need of a makeover, horrible furniture, horrible bedding and no view at all. I would not recommend this hotel at all. more

We stayed at Castelar on two different occasions when visiting Buenos Aires. Given it was low season we were able to get a great rate on our room. The rooms themselves are nice and clean. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is really nice! more

My partner and I spent a week at the hotel with a group trip we were on. Check-in for the group was great--everything seemed very efficient and all of the rooms were ready even though it was early afternoon. Our room was on the fourth floor facing inside. We were also in a corner, so we had virutally no view.... more

We were shocked when we saw our room. It was very small, dark and damp. Luckily we had ear plugs with us, because we would not have been able to sleep without them. The noise from the road was tremendous. The hotel staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. We wanted to book a few tours, but couldn t find any information.... more

Yes, like most hotels in this pricerange in B.A. , the hotel has a slightly shabby or oldish look, but with style. It has the typical old world charm alot of hotels and buildings in BA have. Also, some rooms face not the street but a very small and dark yard. And yes, staff seem rather not too interested in... more

Old style hotel built in 1929, with lots of wood and highly polished brass, marble columns, lovely lobby with tasteful Christmas decorations. Deep bathtub, bath salts provided. Nice full breakfast buffet included. Free internet, but only one computer for a large hotel; it was always occupied. We are writing this review nine months later after looking at the most recent... more

Overall, a great value for such an old, historic, and yes, "charming" hotel. I was fortunate to be in one of the rooms at the end of a hallway, which is slightly larger than the others. Wish more of the staff spoke English. Wish there were more signs in English, especially in the spa downstairs. Wish there were latches on... more

4* hotel with reasonable facilities; decor from the 1920s but gives it charm. Buffet breakfast; worst scrambled egg we have ever had. Fresh towels twice a day, and most staff speak reasonable English. Security box on request. Good central location within walking distance to Playa de Mayo (main square). We opted for a room at the back of the hotel... more
