My stay at this hotel was a disaster from the moment I walked in. The rooms had no working air conditioning, the bed sheets had holes, and there were two single beds instead of a double. The bathroom lacked a plug, towels were insufficient, and the shower flooded the floor. Despite the spacious furniture and quiet surroundings in the heart of Buenos Aires, the experience was far from ideal due to the overall condition of the room. We left immediately to find a meal, expressing our dissatisfaction to the uninterested staff on the way out.

Upon entering the room, it was clear that it was not up to standard, with a broken bath tub and water leaks. Despite the disastrous start, the rooms were surprisingly clean and comfortable. The staff's attitude towards the issues was uninterested, which was disappointing. The location was great, with easy access to public transportation and a vibrant neighborhood, but noise was a problem. The dining experience lacked variety and nutritional value. Overall, a mixed experience with some positive aspects but notable negatives.

The hotel rooms could do with a little refreshing; however, my stay was quiet, comfortable, and great value. The spacious room had just the basics I needed, although it could have been cleaner. Unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't working and the bed sheets had holes. Additionally, having two single beds instead of a double was inconvenient, and the bathroom lacked a plug while the towels were insufficient and the shower flooded the floor.
