A very warm welcome from very friendly and helpful staff. Spotless rooms and very comfortable beds. Decor is definitely an acquired taste - certainly not mine, but it did not spoil my three stays. Breakfasts were good - well, by Argentine standards anyway. Excellent location on edge of downtown area. The shops of Florida Street are a relative short walk... More

I read a lot of mixed reviews on here before i came to stay and I have to say I was apprehensive about staying at this hotel. I was joining a gap adventures tour which started here and so it made sense to book my 2 previous days here as well for ease. I stayed here 3 nights in total.... More

This is supposed to be a design hotel, whatever that means. It has several design flaws, big flaws and cheap finishings. Other than that, this hotel is OK, very well located. The guys in the reception were rude and not helpful. Breakfast was nice but parts of the floor are made with transparent glass so if you are afraid of... More

We stayed in a suite (bedroom and living and dining room plus sofa bed). These are well designed and spacious and include a kitchenette with microwave, and a shower over a spa bath (a waste as most people rarely use a bath in a hotel). The location is really convenient as you can walk everywhere. Staff were helpful and reasonably... More

I stayed a couple of nights at the Design Suites and found the hotel to be clean and comfortable. The rooms were a decent size, I was in a king size room with spa bath.

We paid $130 a night (January 9-12 2012) and expected a comfortable room, maybe with tea/coffee making facilities and a safe. That's what we got, plus a fridge and microwave. We did not experience any problems with noise or with the cleanliness of the room, which was also large enough to accommodate two people with one suitcase and one backpack... More
