Michael was particularly helpful. Rooms were small but adequate. Well located two blocks from San Telmo Market. Tv in public area. Kitchen was bright and inviting. Breakfast for $4 US was decent with fruit and cheese and toast and coffee and tea and milk...Overall very acceptable.

Nice terrace you can enjoy the view from there. Kitchen accessories were kind of broken. The place is functional, doesn't look so nice as in the pictures. Small unfunctional bedroom. They charged 10 usd more than the declared price in the app because i was paying with card. The personal was reserved.

The room was clean and fine but the AC conditioner was not cooling, it was just normal air at same temperature than outside (30 degrees in Bueno Aires). The hotel is near from the center of Bueno Aires. This hotel apply the Blue rate (1 Euro = 375 Pesos / March 2023) and they don't apply the Official rate (1 Euro = 200 Pesos / March 2023). The price of the shuttle taxi from airport to the hotel is between 6300 pesos (AEP) and 8000 pesos (EZE) while in the expedia page it is written 700 pesos..

Buenos Aires a great city, not so its people.
The solo room was very good, I was impressed. A tv would be good, but ok without. The shared room was ok, like most. There was a couple sleeping together and talking for a while until they left to party. They returned at 7:00 and disturbed the silence. Luckily I as ready to go out, so no major disturbance for me. Perhaps to the other guest. Front desk staff was unfriendly to me and many, I think. That goes in general to many Bonairenses’ service workers, 70% arrogant, dismissive, uncorteous, rude. it is real. It is a pity, for I was so impressed by the city - it is just fantastic. Too bad many spoil the excitement.
