Following our 2 week trip to Patagonia, I was looking forward to our final night in BA with a stay at the Fierro. It lived up to our expectations...in fact, exceeded them, and I wish it had been a longer stay. (Our trip started with 2 nights in BA at the Art Hotel, which I've written a separate review for.)
Our room at the Fierro (superior, which is the lowest priced room) was spacious, nicely decorated, quiet, extremely comfortable mattress (king bed) with quality linens, large & nicely outfitted bathroom with luxurious towels, and the room had a small balcony (step out only with no balcony furniture) with a great view of their beautiful tropical garden in the back. Breakfast (which is included & served to your table as opposed to buffet style) had a nice assortment of pastries, cereal, fruit, juice, eggs, ham. The dining room also overlooks the garden (you could eat outside, but it was hot & humid when we were there.)
Hotel service was top notch .. a special thank you to Nicholas for his friendliness and interest in making sure that we had what we needed. Really appreciated the late checkout as we were flying out early evening.
The neighbourhood (Palermo Hollywood) is good ... seems to be an evolving one, and a safe one. We preferred Recoleta for convenience, but felt that staying at the Fierro made it worth the trade off in neighbourhoods. It was about a 15 minute walk to Paleromo Viejo and about 20 minutes from the area where the zoo & Evita Museum are. (Taking a taxi to the Evita Museum cost 20 pesos).
There were rotating electrical black-outs during our stay due to the high temps, but Fierro has a generator which kept the power on (the rest of the neighbourhood around us was in darkness that evening.)
Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Room Tip: We enjoyed having a room at the back of the hotel with a view overlooking the garden.
