Top hotels in Recoleta
Apart Hotel B
The staff are nice, but the room was not kept clean every day and the amenities are poor. In addition, the location does not feel safe. I saw homeless people and others sleeping on the street, and the area feels dangerous after 9 PM. You must use Uber or a taxi to get around safely.
