Peu accueillant

Personnel peu accueillant, odeur d’égout dans la salle de bain, peu d’éclairage dans un si bel édifice. La majorité des employés à l’accueil ne parle pas l’anglais et ne font que vous tendre leur téléphone pour communiquer.

This property is frighteningly dangerous. Stay there at your own risk. It is very old. All the windows except 1 in my room was bricked off. Most rooms have 2 levels with stairs waxed slicker that a luge. The bathroom is downstairs. I knew the stairs were going to be a problem because I slipped and caught my balance several times until the last day where one foot flew out forward and the other went behind me and i fell down the entire staircase. Obviously, that injury put a serious damper on the rest of my trip. I had to buy a cane and foor brace. The front desk girl was very nice but clueless as to how to help. Definitely not a place for older people. More of a hostel than a hotel. The bathroom is beyond tiny. They have no iron in the entire hotel. Also, they advertise laundry which was the main reason i chose it but there is no laundry and nothing close by that you can do yourself. False advertising.

Interesting quirky old building. Old cage elevator was fun. Bathroom was modern, but shower was in main room. Bed was up a narrow steep set of stairs in a loft. I liked it and would stay there again.

This property is very charming. It doesn’t offer all that much but the charm makes it memorable. This part of town is great for tourists, nightlife, food. It’s actually very safe to walk at night you see kids and families walking past midnight. Police are around as well. I don’t like having to be buzzed in and out every time but I understand since it is on the corner of a busy street. But sometimes you might have to wait a minute or two to get let in. One time saw a family locked out late at night and the receptionist was asleep. I haven’t seen him since though. Probably a good thing because we were worried we may be locked out one of these days if he falls asleep again every time we went out late. Fortunately it didn’t happen to us. That being said I’d stay here again.

Stayed 2 nights. Initially in single room facing the road. The air-conditioner never worked, so asked to be moved, 2nd night in one of the 2-storey rooms, much nicer, and with a/c. Lift is a classic!

HORRIBLE. Only stay here if you speak Spanish

This hotel is run by college kids and it shows. After cleaning every easily accessible countertop surface and throwing away the layers of dust, I decided I did not want housekeeping in the room as I could do a better job. There is no notice to put on your door. I told the front desk THREE times, no housekeeping. Twice while sleeping housekeeping came into my room! I get a call while sleeping to tell me I am past my check out date and need to pay. I went to the front desk and they speak to me in Spanish and i say: No hablo Espanol. The girl looks at me and says in Spanish: this is Argentina, speak Spanish here! What?!!!!!!!! I showed them my correct check out date and my bill was paid. The hotel has long electronic codes to get into your room, but there is no light to see it. Towel slips off the white hooks to hold your towels. You can’t eat in the room. You can’t control the air conditioning. Because we have smartphones now the staff basically was unhelpful and not one staff member speaks English and there is no laundry as per hotels.com site. hotels.com is partly to blame by not letting international people know that they only want Spanish Speaking people at the hotel. When I brought all of this up to the manager (a young kid), he just made excuses for the staff and said the woman who told me it was time to check out was suspended, WHICH WAS NOTHING BUT A LIE. THIS HOTEL IS HORRIBLE. but i will say they were kind enough to let me check in one hour early. NEVER AGAIN

When I arrived, I paid extra to check into my room before 2 p.m. However, the bathroom was dirty, so I had to request that it be cleaned. After that, I consistently felt that the room was not clean. To operate the air conditioning, you have to call the reception; there is no way to control the temperature yourself. Additionally, several electrical outlets were loose. I would not return to this hotel, which, by the way, it should be considered instead a hostel.
