The hotel had a stunning view of the square and beautiful buildings but faced issues with brown water in the taps, noisy surroundings, and cold temperature overnight. However, the location was ideal for exploring the historic center on foot.

Rooms

Despite the gorgeous view, my stay was affected by dark brown water from the taps for quite a while. The room was freezing, and I almost got hypothermia overnight. However, the room offered a lovely view of the square and the surrounding beautiful buildings.

Service

6.0

The service was a mix of organized efforts but lacking in effective communication. While they helped to dry some items, they were not good at explaining situations and tended to walk away without clarification. On the upside, they did assist me in printing an e-ticket.

Location

The hotel is situated in the central area, but the noise from honking horns all night was disturbing. Despite the noise, the location was visually pleasing and perfect for exploring the historic center on foot.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was subpar with limited food variety and small portions. Breakfast was poor and only available after 7 a.m., without a buffet. They even refused an extra glass of juice. However, the ambiance made the dining experience slightly better.

Facilities

The facilities were nothing to write home about, with a lackluster dining experience and issues with the taps. However, the Presidential Suite was quite impressive.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, overlooking the square and right on Plaza San Martin, which was fantastic. However, the rooms seemed to have mostly original furnishings, giving a dark and dingy vibe. The service was a bit hit or miss, with a nice and clean hotel but unfriendly staff that seemed distant and lacked English proficiency.

The hotel has a very nostalgic ambiance with huge and spacious rooms that could use some freshening up, though the musty odor might remind you of Ernest Hemingway's era.

I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious suite at this hotel, with separate areas for a lobby, lounge, dressing room, bedroom, and bathroom.
