Buenos Aires hotels in Balvanera

The cleanliness. We were on a 3 weeks trip around ARG and stayed at 6 different hotels. The Apart Hotel was one of the worst experiences we had, all because of the frontdesk staff. They were extremely cold, military-like and not willing to make you feel welcome in any way. There was no conversation, zero eye contact during the whole stay (It was traumatising to walk in or out the hotel as they don't look at you) and we were very disappointed with the whole experience. It was also the only hotel out of the 6 where we had to pay at check-in. Expect lots of noise due to rooms rented to over-excited herds of pre-teenagers or families with children ! Expect unjustified increase of price if you decide to change your reservation!!

clean rooms, friendly staff Very poor breakfast. Mostly sweets. Staff inexperienced.

Nice location, nice and friendly staff. Swimming pool and jacuzzi have been not in use and rather dirty (no pump working and a water in the pool had a bad appearance like not filtered for long time). Sauna closed at 2100 (means not available after arrival in hotel in the evening). The price was higher than in some similar hotels without above facilities, but we accepted it and finaly have not used anyway.

I stayed at the Samiento Palace Hotel from 04/11/10 - 19/11/10. The hotel is very much a 3 star hotel. However its location is ideal for shopping and if like me you want to tango as it is walking distance to 5 - 7 milongas. The bedroom was very small and the bathroom was too small for an adult to use. I could not use the wash basin as it was too small. There was no fride or coffee facilities in the bedroom.

I didn't like the hotel, the cleanliness of my room was terrible.

comfortable.. central location.. no.

The hotel is a boutique style with high ceilings and paintings on walls. I was given a room on the street side and my window did not close properly and there was a lot of noise outside during the early morning so I did not sleep well. I made a collect call to home but was charged a large amount for the local dial out and this was not clear in their information book. The hotel´s exchange rate from USD to Argentinian pesos was higher than it should have been.

nothing, the room was dirty and old. The staff is not prepare to receive guest. It's very central but in a bad street. old and dirty

Nice breakfast, spacious room The location is not very good, about 10 blocks away from the main street

free wifi I didn't receive the room I reserved, but an older one without heating. Only after I complained I was moved to a better room. Checkout time was 10:30 which is outraes

room service and staff rooms were not like the pictures

the staff were very obliging. the restaurant food was of a satisfactory standard the hotel advertised english speaking staff, only a couple did. the rooms are not air-conditioned, and they smell of cigarette smoke. the hotel is situated too far away from the city centre, and it is not safe to walk around without a guide, although from the site you would think that you were close to everything.
