I have mixed feelings about this property. The room was very clean, and the sheets were changed daily, so I had no concerns in that regard. The location was good, in a very safe neighborhood. If I were to go to Buenos Aires again, I would probably look for a hotel a little closer to Recoleta or Palmero, as those were my favorite neighborhoods. Cleanliness and location would both merit five stars, in my estimation. However, check-in was confusing. I had checked into my room online before arriving. When I got there, however, that didn't seem to matter. The staff really wanted me to check in with WhatsApp, which I don't use and didn't have on my phone. The staff spoke no English, and my Spanish isn't as good as it could be, adding to the difficulties. They eventually gave up and let me get into my room anyway. When I got to my room, the air conditioner was off. I contacted the staff, and was told that I needed to turn it on with WhatsApp. They eventually turned it on for me. Once on, it continually dripped onto the nightstand. It wasn't too bad, so I just put a hand towel on the nightstand to muffle the dripping sound. The air conditioner quit working at one point, and was off for almost a whole day. I don't really know why it quit working, but I was certainly glad when it started again. In conclusion, if you've got WhatsApp, you should have a much better time working with the staff.

The location is excellent. Many restaurants and sights are in walking distance. There is a metro stop at the front door. The downside is the 2 storey room. The bed is in a loft area, and we did not care for that. I liked this hotel a lot. I do suggest being careful to choose a room that does not have the loft.

The room was perfect, very clean and a good temperature, with Aircon available if we had needed. Very good value for money and excellent central location, without the road noise. The shower was hot and the bed very comfortable. No issues and we have already booked to stay again.

This heritage property was in good repair but very basic. With a little extra attention it could be a very nice accommodation. It is in a very central location, with only a bit of city noise. Based on our research, we anticipated the staff being more fluent in English but this was not the case. The staff were very pleasant but not as helpful as other reviewers experienced. We were unable to get an extra pillow and not permitted to bring food to our room. We wanted to stay somewhere with a bit of character and Le Fresque certainly fit the bill.
