“Great Stay, Safe area, Lovely Pool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Stayed here for two nights during a recent visit to BA. Hotel is very well located in a safe area of the city on a quiet side street. Breakfast Buffet was great and basement pool a pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend.

“nice hotel, very slow service - safe place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

This hotel is not impressive, but it´s nice. The location is good, but not excellent, as there are many bars close the hotel, which can be really noisy. Reconquista street is centric, but not very interesting for tourists. The rooms are clean, thr breakfast is excellent. The pool is nice and the staff is friendly, when you are not in a hurry. Very special to mention - I forgot 2 credit cards i my room safe and came back after three days to the hotel - i got them back! This is not usual in Argentina and I was really happy.

Room Tip: take a room on the back side

“Good business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

I stayed there for 5 nights. First of all, location is perfect - near to business centers and to the Puerto Madero (just 5 minutes walk).
Reception desk is very helpful - you can change the currency (not he best rate, but you are sure that no fake) Argentina has issues with fake money
The price is normal to its level. Staff is plolite (it was funny to me that they were opening entrance door for mee every time :)
Room service is good and with sense of humor)) It was pleasant to find sweets from them on a bed)
A small selection of dishes on breakfast, this is minus. Only omlet and some strange and fat sosiges.

Room Tip: enjoy Buenos Aires ;)

“Melia Hotel and personal security in Buenos Aires”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

My wife and I stayed here as pert of an Antarctic expedition out of Ushuaia over New Year 2012 on the way out and on Jan 18 and 19th on the return. The hotel has reasonable rooms both in the new section and the original but is let down by it's location with no outdoor space except street-side. It only has an small indoor pool/spa in the basement. The breakfast was poor..certainly not up-to international standards with other meals just about acceptable. However Buenos Aires is the worst city we have visited for crime. On our first day there we were sprayed with fake bird dirt as a distraction theft opportunity. This happened to 2 other couples in our group of 40 with one couple having an attempted necklace snatch.Also at our hotel a couple were wrestled to the ground and their camera and handbag stolen(not in our group). On our return 4 other couples were sprayed and one couple had a necklace stolen. On our New Years evening tango show and meal many visitors kept their jewellery out of site only putting it on when inside the venue. Perhaps it was just over this period when many locals leave the city for vacation that the homeless and thieves were more noticeable and more active. It certainly won't be on our list of places to return to.

Room Tip: Avoid floor 7 which is a smokers floor. Rooms in the newer rear are modern, the others more traditio...

“Great Staff but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

My wife and I stayed here as part of an expedition cruise to the Antarctic at New Year 2012/13. The hotel was showing its age and the facilities were questionable. The location was not salubrious and all of the sidewalks and roads in Buenos Aires needed urgent repair - not the hotel's fault.

The Internet access as not free in the room or even in the "Business Centre". However, the rooms were fine. The hotel bar was in the foyer and there was nowhere to sit quietly and read a book or newspaper.

The best feature was undoubtedly the staff, From reception/concierge to restaurant/room service the staff were friendly and helpful and they could not to enough to please.

All in all, a disappointing stay made worthwhile by the people.

Room Tip: It is difficult to give a tip. The rooms at the front look over the roofs of other buildings and/or...
