Very arrogant hotel and certainly not 5 stars !!!
Pros:

We stayed Here one night after a long flight. The hotel has a speciale vibe if you like it or not. The swimmingpool Area is really Nice and also the restaurant el mercado is worth a visit. The thing that botters us the most is the attitude of certain staff members. There is a kind of arrogance over them which we haven t encounter before in a hotel of this level. We arrived early and had to wait for our room was ready so we stayed at the pool but their pool service was not open untill 10 o clock ! The strange part is that there were 2 people working behind the bar were not helping us to find Some water. Also the rooms our room was a loft had a dirty fridge in the outside and the lamp above our bed was dirty the couch was worn out. But the biggest concern was the next day when we wanted a coffee before leaving. My wife was sent away by a an extreem arrogant young boy working in the library loung while the coffee machine was already on. We wanted to give our welcome voucher but it was 09:30 hours and we all know nothing happens untill 10 O clock. I went to the reception asking if they could give us a cup of coffee but they were absolutely not helpful. 2 persons walked to the library loung boy with our voucher and didn’t t give us an eye. The boy brought us the coffee with a face……… nobody came to ask if all was oké now. We would never stay here again after we went to the Alvear palace. Ohhhh boy what a big difference in service it was real 5 star.

Poderia ser bem melhor…
Pros:

A localização do hotel é estratégica e excelente… A cordialidade e atenção de alguns funcionários como o Rodrigo e Bruno na recepção e, o Tomas no bar da piscina, é digna de reconhecimento.

Cons:

Durante minha estadia, vivenciei uma série de situações extremamente desconfortáveis, que geraram indignação e sensação de insegurança, absolutamente incompatíveis com o padrão mínimo esperado de um hotel.

Inicialmente, tivemos um problema com a chave do quarto, que deixou de funcionar no início da tarde. Ficamos retidos por algum tempo até que um funcionário da manutenção conseguisse resolver a situação.

Mais grave, contudo, foi o episódio ocorrido posteriormente. Um funcionário do hotel bateu à porta para entregar uma mala. Ao informarmos que não se tratava do nosso quarto, ele se desculpou e foi embora. Pouco tempo depois, o mesmo funcionário retornou, bateu novamente e, sem aguardar autorização para entrar, simplesmente adentrou o quarto, perguntando se havia alguma “caixa” ou “caixinha”.

Essa conduta é absolutamente inadequada e inaceitável. No momento, minha esposa estava no banheiro se preparando, o que agravou ainda mais a sensação de invasão de privacidade e insegurança. Um funcionário não pode, em hipótese alguma, entrar em um quarto ocupado sem autorização expressa do hóspede.

Além disso, o atendimento de alguns funcionários, que aparentavam deliberadamente não compreender o idioma, contribuiu para a confusão e para o sentimento de descaso.

Para completar, houve ainda um episódio constrangedor na área da piscina. Um funcionário simplesmente “arrancou” a toalha das costas da minha esposa, que estava com frio e apenas pretendia ir até o quarto utilizando a toalha, especialmente porque a área de acesso possui ar-condicionado bastante frio. A atitude foi rude, desnecessária e desrespeitosa, expondo-a a uma situação de constrangimento totalmente evitável.

O conjunto desses episódios foi extremamente desagradável e comprometeu seriamente a nossa experiência no hotel. Esperamos providências claras por parte da administração, pois situações dessa natureza não podem ser tratadas como normais

A must visit in BA!
Pros:

What a unique and stunning property the Faena Hotel Buenos Aires is! We loved our brief stay at the hotel and enjoyed a fabulous dinner at El Mercado followed by the Rojo Tango show, which was very entertaining! We were also impressed with the gym, spa facilities, and the stunning pool area.

outstanding staff and hotel
Pros:

The location is walking distance to the canal where there are loads of shops and places to eat, and a 5 min Uber to the Ferry port. The staff is one of the most welcoming and friendly I have encountered. The rooms are large, and fine (the bed is comfortable). I also recommend planning to eat at the hotel as they woodfire grill their food daily. the freshness and care taken to prepare everything from start to finish is exemplary.

Style over substance
Pros:

Stayed during our trip to BA. Booked a skyline room. There is nothing skyline about it. My view was over the back of the hotel on the 2nd floor. Called to try and speak to the concierge to arrange a transfer from the airport. Was told that I couldn’t speak to them but I had to send an email. Sent email took forever to get a reply.

The room was old and tired. The layout was odd with a bed stuck in the middle of the room and a white leather chair. It just didn’t work.

The bar was nice and they offered us a welcome drink which was the highlight of our stay there.

I wouldn’t go back or recommend it. May have been good in its day but that day has long gone.

Despite the team’s genuine efforts, wear and inconsistent service compromised the luxury experience.
Pros:

The staff was extremely attentive and genuinely made an effort to ensure our stay went smoothly despite some issues. In particular, Melisa was outstanding, always available, proactive, and very supportive throughout our stay. The hotel’s location and overall atmosphere are still strong points.

Cons:

The hotel feels tired and shows visible signs of wear and maintenance needs. Small details, which should not happen in a five-star property, impacted the experience: no complimentary water and no welcome amenity in the room, turndown service taking too long, and even a vacuum cleaner left for hours outside a room door with no one taking responsibility for removing it.

Service also felt inconsistent - for example, on sunny days with a full pool, there were very few staff members to handle the demand. The gym is clearly outdated (water dispenser without cups and no cleaning supplies available for the equipment).

Overall, the expected level of attention and the value proposition for this category were not fully delivered

Unique Property whose time has come.
Pros:

This is a unique place whose time has come. The velvet curtains and multitude of mirrors do not interest the bulk of people. The dirt on the bottoms of those curtains are beyond cleaning and the ragged edges on the rugs also tell the story. The location is good and staff were nice. That is the reason I gave it a 3 otherwise it would have been a 2. This is not a 5 star property.
We booked through Fine Hotels at the last minute. We were given a supposed upgrade to our room that was initially facing the park to one with more space facing the pool. It was obvious upon our arrival that there was a private event happening in the main bar lounge area next to the pool. Needless to say we got no sleep as the party went on for well into the night. The party is fine, it is the knowledge of the staff to make us feel like they were upgrading us but put us in the worst place. In addition they gave us free welcome drinks in the bar....of which we couldn't use due to the private event.
Another staff did make it better for us the next day by allowing us a very late checkout to refresh before our late flight.
This property probably was extravagant many years ago. It is not anymore. Time is up.

It's not for everyone.
