3/3 found this review helpful

The property is WAY COOL. Water, glass and steel everywhere and light! The showers in the bathrooms....all glass walls....loved it. Never did figure out the bidet though.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They could not be better.

The 5th floor glass bottom pool is worth the stay just to try it out. WOW! How did they do that?

The only downside was the neighborhood. Just not my thing. It's just dirty. Some guests really loved the area. You choose. Easy to get downtown and to the subway though.

7/7 found this review helpful

Nice concept, but poor execution. I'd give it a pass. The hotel is a standout in a poorer section of San Telmo -- little to see or do right around the hotel, and a marginal area for walking at night. Ten years from now, this may all be different. The night we arrived (late flight), restaurant, bar, services were closed due to staff party. The common areas are lovely, but, at this early date, there is no one using them. For a gay hotel, the gym is among the most rudimentary of any hotel I've stayed. The hotel staff are friendly, attractive, but all this goes only so far. Their knowledge of the area is limited. The rooms are quite modern (concrete floors, glass shower), but sparsely furnished. Fit and finish is poor -- bathtub leaks, door knob comes off sauna door, nail hanging out of sauna bench to scratch your leg, and lock on our room door was defective so as to leave us locked in our room for five minutes until we were able to jostled it open. (We called front desk, but no one would answer the phone). No enough storage space or hooks for things. Other than soap, room supplies are not replenished daily. No newspaper and no guide to hotel services. Use of the telephone for dialing out was thus unclear, and no one at the front desk would answer the phone. In short, either a lot of expense has been spared here, or the developers are very new to the hotel business. Given the prices, you'll find many better alternatives here in Buenos Aires.

  • Liked — Common areas are modern and attractive
  • Disliked — Poor quality rooms. Not enough attention to even basic details.
