This was a great deal. We were walk ins during off season ( April 19). We saw the room and took it for $130 per night. Spacious standard rm with twin beds......old, yes but clean and friendly. The hotel faces the cemetery and park...very quiet. Breakfast included and very good. Definitely do not agree with the negative review below. Tip....they... More

It's been a while since the last time I had a perfect experience! From the time I checked in I had only good surprises. Location is great and rooms are big with confortable beds. Breakfast is very good and staff very nice. My special 'gracias' to Fernanda, a house keeping lady who was very helpful and friendly. Thanks to you... More

Very large rooms, which is uncommon. Hotel just in front of the Recoleta Cemetery. The breakfast was very good, the staff so helpful. There is a terrase outside. More

Frontdesk OK, breakfast OK. Furniture in reception-area worn and dirty, full of holes. USD 10/24hrs for WiFi in your room. Our room was big overlooking the park/cementary, but carpets were worn and stained. And some of the furniture had been removed!! making the room look empty. Cracked tiles in the bathroom and mirror was broken. According to hotel staff Etoile... More

But that's all I can say about this hotel that is positive. Needs overhauling immediately. Bed linen, towels and pillows need replacing. Lifts are a bit sporadic. Internet works but slowly, and only 2 ancient computers which some people hog the whole time (and kids, too, more annoyingly). No tissue boxes, nice toiletries in the bathroom. Horrible vacuum-hose-type hairdryer which... More

When my friend recommended me this hotel, I was somewhat skeptic because it is in front of a Cemetery. However the hotel is located in a beautiful area surrounded of several restaurants and bars with patios, touristic stores and close to another attractions, even close to the downtown if you like to walk. The hotel have a modest restaurant (you... More

We requested a triple room (since that option was available) we got 2 very small full beds. The staff at the front desk was only there to check you in and out. They would not change money (Which the vast majority of the hotels in Argentina do) or do much for that matter. If you would come into the hotel,... More

The only advantage is the very good location at Recoleta. The rest, is not worth. Too old hotel. Old decoration that makes hotel smelling like old! I felt like I was on the 70's but not in a good way. Old heater, old bath tub, old shower, old everything. Linens and pillow smelling very bad. Internet is not free and... More

The rooms are not wonderful and we had a rather awful view at the back, but from the upper floors you look out over Recoleta Cemetery and there is a bar and even a small swimming pool on the roof. The staff were very helpful when our return flight was delayed and upgraded us to a superior room at no... More
