Staff were friendly and helpful enough. This places you right downtown just a block away from Av 18 de Julio and a short walk to Plaza Independencia and the Peatonal Sarandi. The hotel itself and the rooms are unfortunately shabby. My room smelled like a mix of stale cigarettes and mildew. The place needs work. A very poor value relative to the HUGE upgrade you’ll get spending only $5 more per night for another hotel in the area.
please be reminded this property is old built in the late 40 early 50 so it is dated but great location to see the centeral of the city. The staff is great.
Propiedad un poco descuidada, teníamos reservado una habitación triple y al final no había. Vimos una cucaracha en el marco de la puerta.

Este lugar es una muy buena opción para hospedarse. Mi experiencia fue muy buena, el lugar queda en el centro, cerca de todo y la atención del personal fue excelente, muy amable y presto a brindar cualquier tipo de información.
Hotel muito bem localizado, próximo às principais atrações do centro. De fora parece um hotel muito velho, porém por dentro é limpo e tem um bom custo benefício.
Buena limpieza, con cambio de sábanas, estancia 5 días. Ubicación céntrica bien comunicado con ómnibus en la misma calle Colonia. Aunque claro lejos de la terminal Tres Cruces. A unos 25' del mercado del puerto. Buena atención del personal. Habitación con baño completo. Pago con tarjeta. Pero en dólares hubiese resultado mas económico. Falta servicio de desayuno.
