Buenos Aires hotels near Cementerio de la Recoleta

Pros: thanks

Cons: nothing

Pros: Hotel is pretty and infrastructure is ok

Cons: I stayed 1 night. We had problems almost everywhere: - Spa: massage therapist was new, and the massage was very poor (not the fault of the therapists in any way though). - Dinner: inexplicably slow - Breakfast: no egg station included. Bacon almost burnt... impossible to cut. Poor options. The hotel refunded some of the things due to the service flaws; but that is completely off point, I would have preferred a good service with no refund. Very disappointing experience for a hotel of the reputation and price of Alvear Palace.

Pros: Great location and history. Fairly relaxing. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Cons: Not the attention to detail or cleanliness you would expect for the price. I would suggest that this once was one of the leading hotels. Not a scratch on Claridges/Ritz/Six Senses group etc. Staff were nice enough, but concierge unable to book all requests (moved to another hotel due to flight change for final day and their concierge was able to book a table at a restaurant supposedly unbookable by Alvear). Found debris like crisps under the bed - not that I was looking - I happened to notice while doing Pilates. Toilet seat broken, but promptly fixed the following day (if I had called them, I’m certain it would have been fixed in lightning speed, but I couldn’t be bothered - I wanted to relax - just can’t understand how it was missed when signing off the suite). Other guests in common parts fairly audible. No international papers over breakfast and no cigar cutters on the terrace. Various other elements of detail one would expect in a leading hotel, but were missing.

Pros: Great location, nice staff that arranged excursions.

Pros: It’s a beautiful hotel with excellent service

Pros: One of the most luxurious hotels in Argentina, with perfect staff, perfect rooms and perfect facilities. We loved everything regarding this hotel.

Cons: Nothing. It was perfect.

Pros: Location

Cons: We expect cleanliness at least . The first day, we were assigned to a room in the 3rd floor and noticed a stench smell in the room . The carpets have stains on it and it did not have a clean smell. Certainly for the money we paid , we expect a clean room . It smells like chlorox poured and mixed with freshener that became stale , basically musty odor. I ignored the stains in the carpets but certainly not the odor . I thought at first it was because maybe the aircon was not opened for long time but when we came back after our dinner, we still could still smell it that we needed up calling the concierge. The manager took the call and sent someone who was holding 2 bottles and seemed to have no idea what was the complaint . He left after 3 seconds in the room indicating that he will call someone . Half an hour later , no one called to follow up about the status . No one until I called back and spoke to the manager . He told me his staff did not smell anything , I told this manager that his staff thought he was bringing water , stayed only for 3 seconds and unable to assess the situation properly . And when I told them that my husband has asthma that he finally suggested that we will be moved to another room . All I wanted is a basic requirement, a clean no smell room . Never mind about fluffy pillows or the views or the gold pillars , those hotels are fairly common somewhere else as well but the most important thing is cleanliness and comfort . As for their breakfast ? No variety , same food served in the same trays every morning . If you want hot meals or omelette, then that is separate order and for about 20 dollars per person / meal not including hot meals is an overkill . And the staff , are all over the place moving in a chaotic symphony esp if the group tours come in throngs. There should be someone overseeing these people otherwise , they keep on being apologetic because they forgot to serve your coffee earlier .

Pros: room size, bed, swimming pool, gym facilities, spa.

Pros: everything

Cons: everything met expectation

Pros: The breakfast with great variety of fresh pastries.

Cons: We got a room upgrade, that was nice; however, the heater (joined with cooler) it is not enough to heat the large room, corridor and the bathroom. The bathroom does not have any heater.

Pros: Great big rooms with avenue view.

Pros: The pool & buffet breakfast were amazing! It was a chilly day in Buenos Aires so the indoor heated pool was very nice and I definitely put that to use. It is modern and clean and I enjoyed the cabanas and complimentary fresh juice. The view from the pool deck is outstanding! I thoroughly enjoyed the buffet breakfast. They offered a wide assortment. Best breakfast I have had during my stay in Argentina. The rooms are large and the beds are large and comfortable. I slept very well. I enjoyed the spa tubs and the bathrooms are very chic! Only issue was the faucet...a little quirky at times but nothing major to complain about. I enjoyed the hardwood flooring and felt very safe in my hotel room.

Cons: For a nice hotel like this one, they did not have hair dryers or converters. I would have been happy to pay for a converter if they offered one so it was a little annoying and a bit of a hassle to go out searching for one. I wasted about 45min of my time but eventually found one at a local market shop for very cheap.

Pros: The whole hotel experience was great

Cons: Nothing really

Pros: Beautiful hotel with all one would expect from a luxury hotel. The staff and attention to detail are great and we can fully recommend the Tomo 1 Restaurant!

Pros: The mattress in our room could be replaced. It was like sleeping on a rolling slope of hills, basically it was lumpy. The breakfast was great the first day, however by the 5th day I was craving something else! Good selection of food, the scrambled eggs were runny. It's free so these are minor complaints. The hotel is right near the "obelisk." It's centrally located which makes it ideal. Quick cab rides to all the barrios.

Pros: Eggs were cold.

Cons: Hot eggs. Strong coffee.

Pros: Amazing property! Everything is beyond splendid! A really good value in the very heart of the city porteña

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: There should have been more options for vegetarians like me

Cons: Spread was not good

Pros: Everything! This place is just gorgeous! We upgraded to a studio with a view of the city and it was worth every penny. Huge room, incredible spa and pool facilities, phenomenal dinning options... And they made it extra special for us with champagne to celebrate our honeymoon and late check-out.

Cons: Nil

Pros: Best points: Fantastic Location, excellent fitness center and pool, very excellent service and friendly staff, great value overall Negatives: The bed was ready to be replaced, runny eggs at the buffet, room safe not working well

Pros: Location is amazing

Cons: A 5 star hotel could be a bit better. It's in the details.

Pros: Confortable room, well equipped gym.

Cons: Internet does not worked properly. The front desk clerk was not very frindly.

Pros: The location was fantastic. On walking distance from the historic center and most touristic attractions. You can also get around easily by public transportation, with major busses and metro stations very accessible from the hotel

Cons: Nothing about this hotel is 5 stars except the location. The service is bad, breakfast gets repetitive if you stay longer than 2 nights, and the rooms are nothing special. I had an argument with the breakfast staff because on a day when it was particularly crowded, we were waitlisted to be seated and were placed in the bar area while we waited. The breakfast crew simply forgot about us and after a 45 minutes wait when tables became available they started seating other people ahead of us. Oh, and if you want decent expresso coffee you need to pay extra.

Pros: friendly and helpful reception staff! good location, easy walking distance to attractions/ sightseeing/hop on hop off bus. nice room size and best is the wooden floor ( only upper floors)

Cons: no english spoken tv channel available, only spanish. for a 4 star international establishment inacceptable.

Pros: Staff is so helpful and smiling.Everywhere in the hotel is very clean.We liked breakfast too. Everything was so good

Pros: Great location, good breakfast, staff very helpful and professional. Large comfortable room. Would definitely recommend.

Cons: Only comment I could make is that breakfast is expensive if paid for as an extra. Also the pool is a lot smaller than the photos but this wasn’t a problem.

Pros: comfy beds, good room size and wooden floor, a wonderful fact! reception staff helpful and friendly. advance order for private drive to airport recomendable, friendly driver and clean car.

Cons: no english tv channel!

Pros: Breakfast, location

Pros: The property was able to accommodate an early check-in as requested and the staff was very hospitable, they day I left they allowed me to lounge around the business area for most of the day and were very nice and understanding of my flight situations. Will definitely stay here again when in town for business. The hotel was clean, rooms were perfect sized and good value. The hotel staff was the highlight of my stay.

Pros: The staff here were outstanding especially Matthias the barman..he was fabulous and nothing was too much trouble.

Pros: IT was just a wonderful place to stay and everything was perfect. The staff was fantastic!!!!! Would highly recommend it to everyone.

Pros: Great central location. Good facilities. Excellent breakfast. The room was huge and very comfortable. Despite being so central, the room we had was very quiet.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent breakfast

Cons: Check in and check out are very, very slow processes

Pros: The property is close to the Obelisk and public transport. The front facing rooms are brighter but you can hear the traffic. All the staff are very helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Pros: Good location.

Cons: The bed. Old model mattress.

Pros: Panoramic view from room 808 and excellent relation price/service. Very kind personelver

Cons: It's possible to renew decoration, service's door at the entrance, and in general the of entire building.

Pros: Excellent value for money. They gave me a complimentary breakfast of coffee and medialunas : ) even though breakfast was not included in my package. The hotel building is an old one, well-refurbished, and so the rooms have decent-sized ceilings and are not poky little boxes. The minifridge is handy to store drinks in and there are many pizzerias, snack places, cafes and restaurants close by so eating and drinking are easy too!

Pros: The front desk staffs are so friendly. After we were just checking-in, they suggested where we could visit first, including the direction and what's interesting around. At the beginning, though they gave us a room which was under air-conditioning maintenance, we called the front desk and they assigned another room at different floor for us in a half hour. Also, they helped our family to reserve taxi ride to the airport. In short, the staff were really willing to provide assistance for us.

Cons: the only thing we didnt like is that our room is facing the main street and the window is not for antinoise, so it's kinda noisy even during the late night.

Pros: Superb location. Super clean;spotless bathroom;linen and towels have been changed every day; great breakfast with a lot of variety ;super friendly and helpful staff. Personal thank you to Augustin on reception for his attention and all help.

Cons: Everything was great! Nothing to complain.

Pros: kindly people

Cons: location

Pros: Location is ok, breakfast is great.

Cons: The Staff was sort of angry the entire visit; from front desk to room service (note - housekeeping was good although there was no interaction with myself) ,I felt unpleasantly greeted. Miscellaneous notes- the fitness room is mediocre not because of the equipment but because there is no ventilation in the basement where the pool and gym are- which made it very difficult to breathe while running/ working out.

Pros: LOCATION

Cons: YOU COULD TELL MANY FURNITURE ARE WEAR OUT

Pros: Food room service and best location. Wifi good.

Pros: Staff were welcoming. The hotel stored my luggage whilst I was away.

Cons: I would have liked tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
