Comfortable stay in a historic hotel in the best district of Buenos Aires
Pros:

Lovely old historic hotel in the best location in Buenos Aires, with lovely helpful staff. We arrived off an overnight flight and they allowed us to check in at 9.30am because they had a room available. Bathroom was a good size, with a great shower, large soft towels & bathrobes. The bed was very big and very comfortable with crisp white linens and comfortable pillows.

Breakfast was excellent: juices, yoghurts, fresh fruit and pastries, cakes and breads. The cooked options were very good too- we had beautiful soft omeletttes that were cooked perfectly. We’d definitely stay there again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Very nice boutique hotel with large clean comfortable rooms and wonderful staff.
Pros:

Very nice large room with comfortable bed. The staff is possibly the best thing about the hotel. They are friendly, welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable and will make reservations, get cabs, give you all kinds of information for you too.

Cons:

The only little problem is the breakfast which needs an upgrade to better quality. The coffee especially needs major improvement!

It is obvious that this hotel used to be nicer but for the price, it did not deliver. Mostly the issues concerned the a
Pros:

Location. Quiet. The elevator worked well. Staff were generally pleasant.

Cons:

I woke up one night with water all over the bathroom floor. The room above me had some problem and water went through the ceiling and dripped through the light fixtures. I was leaving the next day so I suggested they wait to repair. I had noticed ceiling water stains a couple days before, so it had happened prior.

On daily housekeeping, my coffee maker was not cleaned, spent grounds were left in the filter and the pot was not rinsed. New coffee was not provided and I ran out on day one never receiving any more. Sugar was not replaced either. No cream substitute was provided at all.

Bottled water that was provided daily in my room did not taste right. I asked the front desk why it tasted like coconut water (slightly sweet/salty) and if they themselves bottled it. They confirmed using a on-site filtration process. I had diarrhea for five of the six days I was there. It COULD have been something else but I did not like the obvious taste in their provided water. On my entire trip of one month, I drank bottled water elsewhere and did not get stomach upset. I had to go out and buy bottled water when I had already drunk 4-5 bottles of the hotel's "water".

Breakfast was minimal, not enough variety. Cereal was available but I had to ask for milk, or yogurt. Milk always came at room temperature, not cold.
