I stayed there for five nights in mid April 2005. I checked out Trip Advisor beforehand, and knew to ask for a room on the second floor...(it was obvious there were issues with the elevator). The place was very clean, great location, and the staff could not have been more patient or nicer...(they are also *very* good looking, too). Everyone at the desk was fluent in English. The breakfast was fine, and enough was offered to keep you going all day.

I highly recommend it for the value and I would certainly stay there again.

I stayed here for 8 nights March/April 2005, and was really happy with what I got, especially for the price. I've travelled quite a bit and stayed in hotels that frankly gave me the shivers and hotels that are famous for their luxury and the Park Chateau made good marks. Yes, in the 9 days one person didn't close the elevator door securely so one of the staff sprinted up the stairs to fix it and voila, I had an elevator in another minute. I didn't consider the episode worthy of a fit of the vapors and continued with my day. The breakfast buffet was great and there were pleanty of choices for whatever type of appitite there, from juice, yogurt, a large variety of fruit, many breads and pastries, eggs, bacon, etc. The place was hoppin' and platters were replaced by the staff as they emptied. The front desk was fantastic in answering my many varied questions and arranging what I needed. They let me check in about 5 hours early and check out 4 hours late without charge. They also handed me a much needed glass of champagne as I checked in after travelling about 20 hours. The bad? The carpet in the back elevator needs to be replaced. This is a boutique hotel and not a sterile, by the numbers conglomerate. I'll stay here again.

More than 4*, it's a good 3* hotel. But considering its price, its location and its very friendly and helpful staff, the value for money is exceptionally good. OK, so the elevator gets stuck somewhere now and then (mostly due to American tourists, not used to elevators where you have to make sure the doors close properly when you step out of them) and there are no large common rooms. Who cares? The rooms are immaculately clean, the bathrooms are good, the air conditioning/heating works well and the location is perfect. You can get a better hotel in Buenos Aires, indeed. Provided you're willing to pay four to five times more. Me? I'll go back to this Kempinski.
