Helpful staff when I asked questions. Overall very clean and modern. Weird bathtub door thing made it easy to drip water on the floor. Window didn't have good sound insulation but it wasn't the busiest street.

Good stay and room temperature was below average

The room temperature was not satisfactory. Often it was very cold for 2 out of 4 days and required multiple attempts to address on both day 1 and 2 of stay. Outside of that, hotel is centrally located and in a safe area

This modern clean property is the perfect base from which to explore Buenos Aires - everything is within walking distance. Even though they do not offer breakfast there is a convenient 'eating area' with microwave, kettle, coffee machine with all day free coffee which all is great. The best thing about the place though are the super helpful reception staff - they are amazing - special shout out to Valentine!! Thank-you to you all - you are what makes this place a great experience!
