Holiday Inn Express Puerto Madero, An Ihg Hotel

“Reception staff are stars. Great location for tourists with limited spanish”

very quiet room, spacious, nice buffet breakfast, very good location. But above all the front desk staff were outstanding. Their English is excellent (every one we talked to) and they had good answers to every tourist-related question we threw at them. This was important to us because we were in an unfamiliar city and spoke only a little Spanish. Very helpful with luggage, money exchange tips, and booking airport taxi. The stars of this hotel are the staff!

“Cruise Stop Hotel Buenos Aries”

Excellent hotel location for cruise (Holland America, Princess, Oceana, etc.) arrival or departure. Only a $20 taxi fare to cruise terminal and $40 taxi to airport. Lots and lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. I felt safe walking around the neighbourhood during the day. We can’t say eno… more

Excellent hotel location for cruise (Holland America, Princess, Oceana, etc.) arrival or departure. Only a $20 taxi fare to cruise terminal and $40 taxi to airport. Lots and lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. I felt safe walking around the neighbourhood during the day. We can’t say enough about the hotel staff. They are efficient, friendly and very professional. Rooms were great and up to Holiday Inn’s high standards. Nice breakfast buffet. I’d stressed about locating a hotel in the right location for the end of our cruise. Very pleased with this selection. Tip: Make sure you bring low denomination USD cash for taxis and tips. You can use your credit card in most stores, restaurants, hotels, etc. When you arrive at cruise port terminal (end of cruise) have USD cash ready for taxi plus small bag handling tip and expect it to be crazy busy and not well organized. We were relieved to arrive at the hotel and leave the cruise port chaos. :).

“Good location close to the river”

Stayed 5 nights. Location is very good as it’s close to the river and walking distance to Florida street, Buquebus boat terminal and Nature Reserve. Hotel is not in Puerto Madero but close to it.

Stayed 5 nights. Location is very good as it’s close to the river and walking distance to Florida street, Buquebus boat terminal and Nature Reserve. Hotel is not in Puerto Madero but close to it. Walking to Recoleta and San Telmo is about a couple of miles (30-60 minutes). Hotel has 14 floors and a partial view of the river (which may get smaller as a new building is being built that will obstruct the river view even more). Room is small but adequate. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom has tub showers with adequate water pressure. Breakfast was good (has cut up fruits and occasional whole fruits, pastries, bread, cereal with almond milk, churros, scrambled eggs; on a few days, it has cooked vegetables which was nice, and on some days it had chicken nuggets?!?!). Gym on the 14th floor was very small (lacks weights and machines) but good view of the river. Staff seem helpful and most can speak English. Overall, it’s a good hotel with a nice location close to the river. Beware, they do charge a tax fee when redeeming points for free nights, unlike the Marriott.
