Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed breakfast experience — Breakfast is basic and served in the room as a bag with medialunas. Some guests found it poor, though it starts from 6 am.
  • Potential for pushy sales tactics — One guest reported being upsold tours immediately upon arrival and asked to pay upfront, which felt pressured.
  • Comfort rating lags behind other categories — While rooms and facilities score well, the Comfort category is rated 6.5 — the lowest of all rating categories.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.

“Disappointing stay. After a long bus ride, the receptionist pushed tour sales and insisted on immediate payment. Poor breakfast (just two medialunas in a bag). Staff and service were poor. Close to Balcarce, but we changed hotels after 3 nights.”
