The hotel has a great central location, just a block from key attractions like Plaza Independencia and Teatro Solis, which I really appreciated. However, the room was a bit uncomfortable with poor hanging options, and the service could have been better.

The hotel has a great location right on the edge of Ciudad Viejo, surrounded by nice restaurants and beautiful sites like Teatro Solis. The rooms, while clean and nicely decorated, felt a bit claustrophobic with outdated furniture. The service was friendly and helpful, but it would have been nice to have more staff available during busy times. Overall, it's good for the price I paid, but not perfect.
