It's the hotel that used to be nice. The staff are friendly and speak English but the rooms a tiny and the showers are maybe 2ft by 2ft. You can barely turn around in the shower. It's got a good location though and it's very safe. Wifi is not free and its expensive and so is laundry. More

The Hotel Carsson is right on Florida Street which is a lively and vibrant part of Buenos Aires and in the heart of the shopping district so great for all you shopaholices. The hotel is very clean overall and the rooms are very comfortable. Whilst the rooms are small and in need of a bit of decorative updating, the beds... More

I found the hotel to be of reasonable quality for the price. The room was clean, and quiet considering the hotel is right in the middle of Centro just a short walk from Av. Florida. I experienced no major problems. A/C can be turned on by asking at the front desk, which I only found out about on the 2nd... More

Like others, we were booked here as part of a tour group. Whilst the lobby is lovely, the rooms are old and stuffy. The staff were not helpful. they allocated us twin singles and didn't attempt to rectify, despite us being there for 3 nights. the wifi access is ridiculously over priced - they completely take advantage of the tour...

Was booked into this hotel as part of a tour group and the first night we were there, had no air conditioning, even though it was 98F during the day. When we returned two weeks later there was no air or running water. Wi-fi was $10/night, and the place I stayed in the previous night was half the price and... More

I stayed here for two nights which was pre booked by my tour group. Other people in my tour group who arrived in BA before and stayed in other hostels and hotels reported they were cheaper and of a better standard, though I cannot compare. The lobby is the most impressive part of the hotel, otherwise Im not sure how... More

Stayed here for 2 nights as I was joining a group tour. I think it must be 4 star rated because the lobby is very grand and makes you think it will be a nice hotel and I think there may be a gym. The first night we had a twin room, bathroom was tiny and the aircon didn't work... More

As per most of the other reviews, the hotel is in a great location, right next to Florida Rd, for shopping etc... However, the hotel is old and dated, rooms are small and a smile from any of the staff is hard to come by... The elevators are scary... More

Ideally located to Florida and Puerto Madera, this is a convenient hotel for the budget traveller, with a higher than average level of acvommodation for the price. More

I think this hotel would be demolished and built a new one. I think not even worth 2 stars. The details are unimportant. Horrible. Too bad the excellent location. More
