Great location and walking distance to shopping malls. Lots of restaurants close-by. Room size is good, No toiletries such as facial tissues and lotions were provided. Good thing there is a mini bar stocked with the usual beer, soda, juice and water and there are snacks as well. There were spots of black mold in the ceiling in the bathroom. Staff were helpful. Not enough charging stations for Apple phones.

Gosto muito do hotel principalmente pela localização, porém por duas vezes, em abril e novembro, me colocaram no décimo andar e o Ar Condicionado NUNCA funciona, somente a ventilação!! Os funcionários vão ao quarto, mexem no controle e dizem que está OK!!! Meus amigos ficaram em outros andares e não existe problemas com o Ar!! Uma pena o desconforto que passei!

The room we received was sadly not matching with what was advertised online. It was dark, run down and felt uninviting. The breakfast buffet was good and the location was central. An overall rather disappointing stay.

The hotel was centrally located and very nice but our air conditioner didn’t work at all. We told the guy at front desk and he managed everything to help but we had to exchange hotel in the middle of the night to the hotel in the front, The EFE Hotel & Cowork which we stayed days before. Finally we got to sleep at 11:30 pm to exit the hotel at 3:30 for a flight to Mendoza. This incident left us with just few hours of sleep before the flight!

Not friendly staff
Staff are not friendly at all. AC was broken and they said no rooms available for us to transfer in. We slept in a really hot room. Then next day they said they will have AC fixed, still nothing and no room. I told them it’s unfair I paid for the room and asked for the manager. No manager on site. I told them I will transfer hotels and bam they have a room available. Wouldn’t pick up my call to the front desk when we need help. So
