    Poor quality/price ratio
    I checked in (The receptionist was kind enough to upgrade my room free of cost) and had inmediately to go on my business. When I came to the room late I forgot to buy water, so I check the minibar and it was empty. Why had a minibar that’s empty? Soap and shampoo where put on bottles sticker to the wall so you had to press the bottles… well It was a pain to get shampoo out of the bottle. The worst thing was when I got to bet: only the sheets and a thin blanket was on, so I was cold the whole night.
    Dear Guest, thank you for your review. The minibar is a service at your disposal for you to put your belongings and keep them refrigerated. There is also the possibility of ordering any drink at our SEIS50 bar or through our room service system. The use of shower gel or liquid soap is due to ecological purposes. The Hotel has extra blankets on request; Any guest who needs more can request them at the reception or with our floor staff. We hope to receive you again as a guest in our hotel. Best regards!

    Good hotel
    We stayed here for two nights after staying in the 3 Star Waldorf hotel and then a hotel in Mendoza, and found the hotel to be good. The breakfast was the nicest out of the three, but still the same as they all are in AR eg. crossoints, cheese, ham. We stayed in a twin room and found the rooms to be spacious, and the bathromm quite big as well. The rooms were clean, but old. Location is quite good, close to Florida st.

    Old Fashioned--A Business Hotel from the 50's
    The Carsson prides itself on its "4-star" rating, though it's unclear what that has to do with anything now. It's an amazingly dated place, with furnishing and style that hearken to a 1950's business hotel. Sure, there's cable (which is everywhere in Argentina), and wireless only in the lobby. But above the first floor, it's a time warp. It's not bad--my "double" was tiny and the bathroom miniscule, but the price was ok. In general, ok if you're on your own--but it's not a real 4 star in terms of amenities, style, service, or space.

I picked this hotel as my tour with G adventures was leaving from here. I agree with many of the previous reviews, lovely reception, breakfast was okay, bad rooms. The rooms were barren, however my main issue was the lack of safe. Secondly the bathrooms need updated. The shower was so small, there was no way to avoid flooding the bathroom every time you shower. Good central location, however would not recommend

The hotel was chosen by G Adventures, the tour group I was travelling with. While centrally located - about 100 metres from Florida Street - the hotel is situated across the road from a sex shop and is in a narrow street full of refuse bins that do not get emptied on a regular basis. The entrance into the hotel is cool and appears quite nice but it is a facade. Rooms in this hotel are not sound proof - they do not have windows and have the minimum - just a bed and fridge. There are no chairs, no hairdryer and no safe not even a picture on the walls for decor. Trying to sleep with all the noise was impossible = just a horrible place to stay. Breakfast consisted of stale breads and pastries. No cooked food and no variety with fruit. The only one plus about the hotel were the receptionist ladies who were courteous, efficient and kind. If you don't care about room aesthetics and room basics and are happy to sleep through noise then the hotel may suit you. It was just a horrible experience for me.

Great location, a kind staff, and amazing service. Breakfast is pretty good, the building is very safe so you won't worry about anything, and it's near to the Obeslico and "Puerto Madero" and so many other attractions and shops.

This place is amazing for the price! Look no further. In the heart of downtown Buenos Aires located near all the popular attractions and less than a block away from the Galleria shopping mall. All kinds of restaurants around and great architecture everywhere. The building was very elegant looking, European style. I'm glad I found this place!

I had a great stay at the Carsson, in the midst of the covid-19 tumult. Great location. Great staff. For the combination of the price, location (if you want to in the micro-center), and staff, I give it 5 stars.

Very good and friendly service. The room was well designed, clean and comfortable with a big bathroom attached. Noise level was low (air conditioners outside). Breakfast offered a great variety of cakes, fruits, etc. Eggs had to be paid extra.
