“We had a wonderful stay in this luxurious hotel. The location was perfect – on the edge of the lively San Telmo area, surrounded by great restaurants. We were also close to historic sites like the Pink House, where Evita gave her speeches. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a lovely patio view. Amenities like room service, car hire, and laundry were excellent. The terrace was a beautiful spot to relax. The breakfast buffet had a wide choice, and service was attentive all day.”
