Buenos Aires hotels in Recoleta

Pros: thanks

Cons: nothing

Pros: Great location and history. Fairly relaxing. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Cons: Not the attention to detail or cleanliness you would expect for the price. I would suggest that this once was one of the leading hotels. Not a scratch on Claridges/Ritz/Six Senses group etc. Staff were nice enough, but concierge unable to book all requests (moved to another hotel due to flight change for final day and their concierge was able to book a table at a restaurant supposedly unbookable by Alvear). Found debris like crisps under the bed - not that I was looking - I happened to notice while doing Pilates. Toilet seat broken, but promptly fixed the following day (if I had called them, I’m certain it would have been fixed in lightning speed, but I couldn’t be bothered - I wanted to relax - just can’t understand how it was missed when signing off the suite). Other guests in common parts fairly audible. No international papers over breakfast and no cigar cutters on the terrace. Various other elements of detail one would expect in a leading hotel, but were missing.

Pros: Great location, nice staff that arranged excursions.

Pros: Location

Cons: We expect cleanliness at least . The first day, we were assigned to a room in the 3rd floor and noticed a stench smell in the room . The carpets have stains on it and it did not have a clean smell. Certainly for the money we paid , we expect a clean room . It smells like chlorox poured and mixed with freshener that became stale , basically musty odor. I ignored the stains in the carpets but certainly not the odor . I thought at first it was because maybe the aircon was not opened for long time but when we came back after our dinner, we still could still smell it that we needed up calling the concierge. The manager took the call and sent someone who was holding 2 bottles and seemed to have no idea what was the complaint . He left after 3 seconds in the room indicating that he will call someone . Half an hour later , no one called to follow up about the status . No one until I called back and spoke to the manager . He told me his staff did not smell anything , I told this manager that his staff thought he was bringing water , stayed only for 3 seconds and unable to assess the situation properly . And when I told them that my husband has asthma that he finally suggested that we will be moved to another room . All I wanted is a basic requirement, a clean no smell room . Never mind about fluffy pillows or the views or the gold pillars , those hotels are fairly common somewhere else as well but the most important thing is cleanliness and comfort . As for their breakfast ? No variety , same food served in the same trays every morning . If you want hot meals or omelette, then that is separate order and for about 20 dollars per person / meal not including hot meals is an overkill . And the staff , are all over the place moving in a chaotic symphony esp if the group tours come in throngs. There should be someone overseeing these people otherwise , they keep on being apologetic because they forgot to serve your coffee earlier .

Pros: everything

Cons: everything met expectation

Pros: Our room was as impeccable than the public spaces such as the lobby and breakfast area. Stylish, modern, very well kept. Our room had a fancy free-standing bath tub made of wood - a real wow effect. Breakfast (buffet style, scrambled/fried/boiled eggs are available upon request) was amazing and of high quality. The location is convenient for visiting nearby Recoleta cementary, it’s just a block away.

Cons: While we liked the style and cleanliness of the hotel, the atmosphere was more on the distanced-professional side. The hotel came across as a business hotel and did not seem to be geared towards tourists - which made it more anonymous than other hotels we stayed in during our trip to Argentina.

Pros: The cleanness and stylish room was top-quality. The personnel was nice and I recommend to try their restaurant “Rufino”. The food was delicious, the wine list is great and the staff is impeccable and social. We loved our stay!

Cons: The music speaker was adapted for old iPhones and the reception didn’t have an AUX cable (but the the room has a smart tv connected to Youtube).

Cons: Sauna closes 20:00 (so if I had to work until 20, I just couldn’t do a Sauna before dinner). The worst of all is that me and my girlfriend arrived at the sauna place at 19:40, but because the sauna is kept off it took 20 min to reach temperature, once it had reached the extremely rude (cursing “puta madre” because we had arrived minutes before its closure) woman from the hotel staff that guards de SPA area just walked away leaving us at dark, incredible... and imagining that I had stayed there in the week that it opens and already have choose this hotel more than 5 times.... this will be the last unfortunately.

Pros: Big room. Good restaurant

Cons: Very noisy from cleaners inside and outside street. Maintenance as well in the morning. Zero soundproofing. No hooks in the room. Poor placement of AC sockets. Twin is just a double with a cot - not really optimal for the one with the cot. In general this disappointed. It has some neat aesthetics but lacks the functionality of a good hotel. Those who thought it was great haven’t been to many other places.

Pros: Small,comfortable, quiet, clean hotel in a great neighborhood. Friendly staff and great breakfast.

Cons: If you are staying with a few people in a room the bathroom isn’t really private. There’s a frosted glass door for the toilet and one for the shower but the sink and bathtub are in the main room. However, it’s a very cool wooden bathtub and there’s a spa feel to the room.

Pros: I’m so very grateful that the cleaning staff has integrity as one of us in both of our rooms left gifts we had purchased and they were turned in an kept for us for days until we realized what happened!!

Pros: Solid stay in Recoleta. Clean, quiet and professional. Staff helpful. Everything good

Pros: The room, quite confortable and space. The location really excelent!!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent front office staff

Cons: Shower stall needs refurbishing. Grouts in tiles are stained.

Pros: The bed, shower, breakfast, room was nicely decorated and spacious the shower excelent

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I really enjoyed the room and the breakfast. I truly believe that sleep/rest and food are fundamental while one is traveling, either for work or leisure. Also the location is great as it is close to main streets with shops and restaurants.

Cons: The only one thing I would change is the carpet on the floors and in the rooms. I realise it is meant for the cold weather as it provides warmth, but the downside could be critical: alergies, sneezes and coughs.

Pros: Very comfortable bed nice shower staff very nice - huge room, nice decoration everything fantastic

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was just superb!

Pros: Service is pathetic and manager is of no use

Cons: Basically everything.You get overcharged for everything.hotel looks to make money off you which ever way possible.manager is racist

Pros: Staff was very helpful!

Pros: Staff was super friendly and location was great. The breakfast was very good. One thing to note: heating is centrally managed and you can't control the room temperature yourself. I stayed in winter and the heater was pretty high. Luckily, I was staying in a room with a balcony so I was able to open the window. Not sure what the summer might be like in this place.

Cons: You can't control the room temperature from your room.

Pros: Comfortable beds, very attentive staff in restaurant and the front desk- especially Alejandra.

Cons: Needed a night light in the bathroom.

Pros: The bed, linens and pillow were perfect for me. . . and I am pretty picky. The room was quiet from outside noise as our balcony was not facing the street. The breakfast has gluten free toast and sweet breads if you ask them (i.e. not put out in the buffet)

Pros: Everything was very acceptable. Price,location,room,breakfast.

Cons: I asked the hotel to look after a bag for me. Found out that someone went through it. Hotel response was strange. No explanation, no apology, no responsibility. Just blew me off.

Pros: I chose Arc recoleta because of its location. The rooms that I stayed were comfortable and quite spacious. Breakfast (mixed argentine and american) included. Fresh pastries,a lot of them if you care for sweets in the morning, yogurts , bread, and fruit in their breakfast. Also scrambled eggs and sausages. Rooms were comfortable with microwave, small fridge and sink. Beds were comfortable. The rooms included a big sofa, desk and little table. Comfortable for one-two people. The place has great potential but read the improvements!

Cons: The staff were courteous and professional but a bit cold. Same with servers in the cafeteria. Breakfast can improve a bit,especially the scrambled eggs which were undercooked. They have a swimming pool which is ONLY available during summer time, they said in November ??? Their "spa" is a sauna and hot bath but the guests need to tell front office ahead of time so they will prepare them. They say they offer "airport shuttle" but when I asked it was a radio taxi! They need to be more truthful in their listings. The small kitchen with the sink does not include paper towels or even a cloth towel. Needs to be better equipped.

Pros: Location, can walk to main Avenida Santa Fe, Recoleta Cemetery. Great staff, good size room with balcony, excellent breakfast, really happy with all.

Pros: Reception staff were really friendly and helpful.

Pros: Breakfast was nice and varied.

Cons: The OJ was something like TANG.

Pros: Location was superb, staff was nice and it is very easy to make check in and check out. Breakfast was ok. However, you cannot expect a super breakfast for a 3 star hotel which is normal.

Cons: The matress was discusting, it was all black and walls were dirty. It was more a filfthy hotel in the facilities keeping more than the cleaness of the bathroom and room.

Pros: Celeste was amazing!! Great hotel

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very nice hotel in the heart of Recoleta. Very helpfull staff speaking English. Clean room. Beautifull view of Recoleta Cementary (we were on the 8th floor)

Pros: Our stay in CasaSur was excellent, the entire staff was friendly and willing to help at all times. We loved the location, it is in a very nice neighborhood and walking distance to many sites and restaurants. The breakfast selection and service was very good!

Cons: The pillows could be nicer.

Pros: The staff was most gracious and accomodating. Location near the park and the cemetery was well located ,surrounded by by nice shops and restaurants.

Pros: Location, friendly staff

Cons: Noisy, uncomfortable bed and pillows, dark rooms

Pros: I loved the excecllant friendly staff

Pros: Great breakfast but the location is too small. At that time mading changes..
