Book Independent Buenos Aires accommodation from AU$59

Awful. Noisy

Great location. Close to restaurants and walking distance to the meter.

Es la segunda vez que me hospedo en el hotel. Lo recomiendo. Todo excelente. Limpieza, personal, instalaciones y desayuno.

Very good location, clean, lots of shops and restaurants nearby

The hotel location is very central and well known to taxi and Uber drivers. Several landmarks are within walking distance. The rooftop is a lovely open area, perfect for views on a sunny day. The check in time is 2 pm and the check out is at noon. The breakfast offers a wide variety of options, from cereal, pastries, fresh fruits, eggs, sausages, to juices, coffee, tea and milk. Rooms are meticulously cleaned every day, and towels are extra large and luxurious. The thermostat in the room actually works and can be set to warm up or cool the room (which is not always the case at other locations). The staff speaks English and can offer basic directions to landmarks, pharmacy, and banks. They made copies of our documents for an appointment at the Embassy. Upon our request, the maintenance person attempted to fix the closet sliding door, but it still did not work quite right. Our advice to management: 1. The property is historic and beautiful, but please invest in some updates and ensure all the mechanic parts work properly. 2. Also, it would be helpful if the front desk staff were familiar with the Uber app, so they could provide advice on its settings in Argentina, as it works differently then in the US or Europe -- with a default to cash payment, which was an unpleasant surprise. 3. It would also be helpful if they were more familiar with neighborhood shops and stores, so they could help find a store that offers phone chargers or a pharmacy open late.

Several years ago, Alvrea had a period of decay. NOT ANYMORE!! Super recomended
