Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff was nice and professional. I appreciated my stay, after I was unceremoniously rejected by Hotel Porteño at Moreno 1150 due to racism. The showers worked, the sink provided clean, potable water, I was nearby some good, tasty restaurants such as El Rebenque del Omar and El Rinconcito Peruano, as well as some other local chains, such as Kentucky Pizza and a lot of empanada and kioscos (corner stores). Only thing was that the wifi was very weak on the second floor, only on the first, and while I would’ve preferred to have my breakfast at 11 AM, the staff sent my breakfast at 9 AM, which is a little too early for me. Also, the TV in my room was very old and out of date. But the staff was professional enough to earn a good grade. I could stay in this hotel for another time, but it might be for up to a week.

Great retro ols style hotel. This was a house from early 20th century. All the staff was very polite and helpful. They were able to acomodate me to another room before a surgery i had. Some rooms have AC but not all, but good flow from the cycling fan. The mattress was comfy and i enjoyed my stay.

Muy malo

Llegue para una estadía corta de 5 horas entre vuelos. Llegue aproximadamente a las 2 AM y la reserva no estaba, además había reservado un cuarto con cama doble y me terminaron dando un cuarto con cama single. Definitivamente dormir en el piso del aeropuerto hubiese sido una opción muchísimo mejor. Lo único rescatable la predisposición de la señora que estaba en la recepción para poder solucionar el problema con la reserva. El resto un desastre, todo feo, viejo y bastante sucio, además el apartamento era muy frío, parecía un iglú. No recomendable.

Se perdió bienes de una pasajera y los propietarios no le brindaron importancia al reclamo y queja bajo el argumento que las dos empleadas fueron nuevas y ya no trabajaban. Además las toallas son viejas, sucias. El desayuno es pésimo , ante el reclamo aduberon que el desayuno es de cortesía, desconociendo el "desayuno incluído". Fea experiencia.

Aspectos positivos y negativos. El hotel es bastante viejo, pero el servicio funciona. Está muy limpio y sin bichos, atienden bien y amablemente y te ayudan en lo que sea. La calidad/precio es muy razonable. En mi caso el ventilador era muy ruidoso, la habitación no tenía ventilación exterior, un claro inconveniente. El aire acondicionado se cobra aparte. Por el contrario, el espacio era amplio y la habitación con mucha altura. Y se contaba con algunos espacios interiores para socializar o comer fuera de la habitación. El desayuno justito pero cumple. Otro punto muy favorable es que se cuenta con una pequeña cocina de gas que funcionaba bien y te permitía hacerte cualquier cosa para salir del paso. Finalmente, la situación es óptima. A dos manzanas del metro, zona bastante buena y tranquila, bien dotada de comercio y servicios. Si no necesitas gran lujo, es un buen sitio para quedarse. Recomendable.
