Featured Hotels near Plaza Sarmiento (School 27), Monte Grande

Like most people, we chose this hotel because of its closeness to Pistarini Airport. In many ways, it seemed a good choice, once we had found a cab driver at the airport willing to take us to the hotel depriving them of the “el Centro” $US30 fare ( we had flown in from Mendoza and were flying out of the country the next day). On our arrival at the hotel we felt that we had made a good choice - reception was courteous and friendly, and we were given a room one floor up with a large balcony. It took a while to realise that the balcony was integral to the plaza of which the hotel is a part, and that the whole structure was so poorly built that the black design lining the base of the in side wall of the room to a depth of about a foot, was mould! The floor’s wooden laminate was squishy under our feet - a measure of how much moisture was in the structure. No flashings between the hotel and the plaza roof?

Holiday inn is this standard. In order to catch the early flight on the next day, there is an airport shuttle. It is too early to go to breakfast time in the morning. The hotel has a small snack and coffee and other drinks on the table in the lobby. Use the pad to hungry.

Íbamos a quedarnos 3 días y nos volvimos al siguiente. Mi hija es celíaca y nos habían asegurado que tenían opciones. Le trajeron brownie hechos por ellos, sin confirmación alguna que no hubo contaminación cruzada. Para cenar les pedimos si nos podían hacer papas fritas en aceite nuevo, y vinieron sucias, con restos *****s. Obviamente ninguna confianza en el restaurant Chaira, tampoco tenían bebidas aptas así que tuvo que tomar agua. Las piletas, las 3, con agua sucias, verdes, con musgo en el piso que te resbalabas, ni siquiera barrian alrededor para limpiar la mugre que había del día anterior. La de niños fue la única que pasaron el barre fondo, pero no sacaron todas las hojas y suciedad que flotaba ni tampoco estuvo prendido el juego de agua. Las sillas de tomar sol de telas, rotas. Nos dijeron que la isla de tragos exterior funcionaba y estaba cerrada. Paredes con humedad y descascaradas de hace años porque había ido anteriormente y siguen igual. Con lo que cobran, malisimas las instalaciones . Van a decir que el restaurante es aparte, si contratan con cena, sepan que tienen 3 opciones para elegir, y con suerte, yo quise un postre que no tenían. Decidimos irnos y no volver más. Ojalá mejoren.

Avoid this hotel at any cost. It was a shameless bait & switch tactic. We booked a quadruple room at the Recoleta Luxury Boutique Hotel. We prepaid a few nights to be on the safe side. When we showed up to check in according to plan the room we were supposed to occupy was not available due to, supposedly, emergency renovations. Staff gave us contradicting explanations: some pipeline had flooded the hotel but the renovations seemed to be more than just a last minute fix. It all looked planned. The unavailability of our room certainly came as a surprise, we had been in touch with hotel staff repeatedly throughout the prior weeks. They claimed that they did not have contact info to let us know about this unexpected turn of events: false, they had sent us confirmation of our booking to our email address. We had contacted them several times over the phone and in person leading up to our stay at the hotel. They sent us to another establishment belonging to the same hotel chain: the so-called Le B Club & Terrace. Ignore the pompous name: it is a student hostel with horrible maintenance and lousy hygiene. We are talking roaches; walls badly in need of a coat of paint; a rickety, claustrophobic elevator on the brink of malfunction, and a curious reluctance to change our towels, among other details. Both establishments seem to be seriously understaffed. The little staff there is available comes across as terminally uninterested, apathetic, jaded, possibly untrained, prone to lame excuses and bogus explanations. One of their pretexts was “I can’t help you because I just started in the job”. When we finally got lucky enough to confront the manager of Recoleta Luxury Boutique Hotel, an elusive woman by the name Carolina, she apologized profusely and claimed to be on our case. Once again, she wrote down our contact info (or pretended to do so). Several days have passed and we never heard back from her: out of sight, out of mind. In short: avoid this hotel and all its other sister establishments at all cost. It will be a disappointing and at times infuriating experience.

Clean and well presented hotel in a great location on Av Corrientes. The street comes alive at night with buskers, dancers & small market stalls. The hotel is safe & staff were very helpful. Only (minor) negative was that yhe rooms don’t have kettles so you need to walk down to level 1 to get hot water (bit odd). But it’s a good hotel and worth a visit.

The hotel is actually nice but management of the place needs urgent improvement as it is causing lots of inconveniences for visitors which are annoying ! 1. In check in rooms get mixed up by numbers and you are getting WhatsApp messages which don’t belong to you. 2. Laundry gets mixed up and delayed. If you need you laundry, don’t count on them. 3. Electronic key stops working without warning and you are stuck in front of your door. 4. Internet stops working interrupting your business related work. Additionally see point 3 No entrance working anymore. 5. Breakfast opposite the hotel and it’s charged at 15.- $US…. Book without breakfast and pay at the place yourself for less than 5.-$ 6. Stayed 3 weeks and my business stay was Cut short but 3 days, but they charged the full price, which was unreasonable. 7. Cleaning only one time per week ! Had to ask for twice a week, didn’t seem to be welcome ! 8. Stay at an upper floor….. don’t be in a hurry if you have an appointment…. Elevators working slowly or sometimes only 2 out of 4

Considering the expectations that I have for the Ibis brand (an entry/economy level hotel), my experience was great. The check-in process in the front desk was a differential. I was tired and had a few bags, but the person of the staff that received me was really quick and smart. I didn’t write her name down, but she really deserves the compliment! That day, one of the two elevators wasn’t working, but overall infrastructure of the hotel is good and the space of the room that I had was nice. I would return to this hotel, for sure.
