Great boutique hotel with 11 rooms upscale neighbourhood of Recoleta, very close to the Cemetery and the Museum of Belle Arts. The hotel has most accommodating staff led by Andre who were just great in making everything work for us. The rooms are very spacious. While temperatures in the city approached 30c we actually did not feel the need to turn AC on. Our room overlooked the courtyard which was full of plants and there were a lot of birds, perfect setting for a quiet and private morning in the city. Breakfast felt like ala card anything you desire, just ask and they make it happen. Fresh juices, coffee, the best croissants in Buenos Aires. There is also a full service restaurant Lima, on the property. We are very happy with this hotel.

“A Mixed Bag”

We stayed at the Hub Porteno Hotel during the fourth and final leg of our South American vacation. The experience was decidedly mixed. One the plus side, the staff was very friendly and got us checked in quickly. In addition, the location in Recoleta is very nice and the street was fairly quiet. Our room and bathroom were huge--much bigger than I would have expected in such an urban setting. (NOTE... we were told at check-in that the jetted tub in our room did not work. We didn't care; there was not going to be time to use it.) Unfortunately, the air conditioning in our room also did NOT work. The wall mounted unit looked old and beaten up. It essentially did nothing. There was also a thermostat in the room. It also seemed to do nothing. The first night, it was about 78 degrees in the room, and it did NOT cool down until about 5 am. It was extremely uncomfortable. We didn't say anything the next day, because we assumed that we'd done something wrong. The next evening, it was even warmer in the room. We stopped at the desk and told them that AC was not working. This did NOT seem to be a surprise. There were NO questions about the room temperature; NO questions about how we set the wall unit or the thermostat; and NO questions about the previous night. Instead, the woman made some half-hearted comment like, "well, only one system is working" and "we'll take a look." Of course, nothing was done. The second night was worse. The breakfast at this hotel was the worst that we experienced during the trip. There was food set out on the bar, but it was odd assortment of things. You could also order from a small menu. I did. It was fine, but you had little idea what to expect. I ended up with huge fruit plate that I could not finish. The setting was also awkward. we were eating at little, high-top cocktail tables in bar which were uncomfortable at best. We loved Buenos Aires, but were not sad to leave this hotel. We would NOT stay here again. It was probably nice at one time, but it's not being properly maintained.
