    spacious room
    great air conditioning
    fantastic price
    cleanliness issues

    We loved the spacious Standard Double Room which had cool air conditioning. The kids enjoyed the modern decor and the family-friendly atmosphere made our stay special. Plus, the price was fantastic for the quality we received!

    My wife says that the cleanliness needs attention.

    modern room
    high pressure
    grimy carpet

    The room was modern and comfortable, with high water pressure in the shower. However, the carpet was grimy and uninviting.

    strong water
    hot water
    thin walls
    unclean linens

    The water pressure in the shower packs a punch, delivering a solid blast. There's hot water on demand, perfect for shaking off a cold night.

    Sound insulation leaves much to be desired. voices from adjacent rooms drift in as if they're right next door. Stains and hair on linens painted a less-than-appealing picture of cleanliness, resulting in a less than relaxing stay. If noise and cleanliness are priorities, this place might not meet the mark.

    The room was nice, but the carpets were really grimy and off-putting.

    great wi-fi

    an enjoyable stay with great wi-fi access despite the darkness

    The check-in was smooth, friendly reception, and I appreciated the 24-hour security for peace of mind. Overall experience was pleasant, just a little dark for my taste.

    helpful staff
    vending coffee

    The location was fantastic, right next to the Saenz Pena subway station and very close to the number 8 airport bus stop off Avenida de Mayo. The staff were incredibly helpful, especially Sebastian, who made our check-in experience smooth and enjoyable. Our Standard Double Room was modern and comfortable, making it a great base for exploring the city.

    The coffee provided in the hotel was from a vending machine, which was not ideal for us.

    nice room
    modern amenities
    great location
    no minibar
    no downtime

    I stayed in a Standard Double Room for one night and the room was really nice and modern. It had everything I needed and was super comfy! Plus, I got a surprise upgrade that included a sauna, which was a cool perk. The location was perfect for checking out the city, and it felt safe walking around. My only bummer was that the room didn’t come with a minibar for cold drinks late at night. But overall, I had a great experience!

    friendly staff
    free coffee
    cold room
    rough area

    The staff were incredibly friendly, always eager to assist, and there was free 24/7 coffee and tea in the lobby, which was a nice touch. The room was clean but somewhat cold without heating—definitely not a luxury experience. The immediate area felt a bit rough, but still centrally located.

    friendly staff
    central location
    basic breakfast
    limited breakfast

    Central location near Saenz Pena subway made it easy to explore the city! Went for breakfast, it was simple with pastries and ham & cheese (though a bit basic). Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    The breakfast selection could use some improvement, as it felt more like a hostel experience than a hotel.

    Recommend it for budget seekers

    The breakfast was simple yet satisfying, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I was impressed with how clean everything was, a crucial point for me.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain but still acceptable for what you get.
