Hotels Near La Escala Paseo in Buenos Aires

One of the poorest experiences in a so-called Luxury Property I’ve ever had. And I have had plenty, I hold status with various Hotel Chains, Titanium Elite with Marriott amongst others. We were returning to Uruguay From Buenos Aires and were needing a 1 night stay in the Campana Area to have a good Night Rest and maybe some Spa Time. Since none of our preferred Hotel Chains had a local presence I decided to explore one of my minor Loyalty Programs, Accor. That’s how we came to know this Sofitel Property. Once arrived at the locations my wife and I were a bit confused. The Setting was not very Hotel like. At the gate we found out that we were entering a gated community. This was not mentioned on the Accor website. If I had known that I would not have stayed there. I’ve nothing against it but I’m familiar with the urban and natural design of these areas and It’s not my cup of tea if on Holiday. Anyway, once at the gate we had to wait for several minutes to get access even after providing ou ID’s to the security guards. They would not let us through until the property confirmed that we were on the reservation list. Once the Hotel finally confirmed we were asked to open our trunk for inspection before accessing the community. This was a very hostile situation. I’ve had better experiences with TSA. At check-in I expressed my discontent with the front desk employee who did not address the issue nor offered any kind of apology. I’m just starting to assume things are done this way at this hotel, a little less Hospitality and little more rudeness. After the check-in process was fulfilled credit card swiped forms filled out we were “reminded” that check-out was at Noon sharp and that we would not be welcome to stay at the premises afterwards. ***, really? No lunch?, No visit to the garden? No possibility to leave luggage until the afternoon for a quick visit to the city nearby? No, you are requested to LEAVE at noon. Well, that was it for us. We no longer felt welcome there. We decided to get some work done and have dinner before going to bed and leave the next morning right after Breakfast. The room was good. Although, I had requested and paid for a King Size bed, we were given two twin beds instead. It’s spacious with a modern design. The TV is rather small considering the size of the room. The Bath Room is comfortable, it has a separate walk in shower and bath tub. There’s also a nice and spacious balcony without comfortable furniture. That is not a big issue as you don’t want to stay there too long. There’s a highway nearby and after a few minutes the sound off traffic gets on your nerves. We ordered Simple room service dishes. Steak with mashed potatoes and a Burger with fries. Steak was acceptable served a bit cold though. Burger was not very good. Bun was to dry and patty overcooked. No sauce hence Superdry experience. What caught my eye was that the room service Menu did not include any clear options for Vegetarians/Vegans and/or persons with Aller

My parents traveled with friends and they had problems with the room numbers, since there were people in the rooms. Someone even entered in the morning with a code and they were inside. They really felt very unsafe.

Clean and hygienic, very close to the city center, convenient transportation, hotel facilities are very new, service is very good, need to book long time in advance, often full house, not easy to book.

This was a fantastic hotel! It's a modern, sleek, and comfortable hotel in the upbeat, bustling, active, and hipster neighborhood of Palermo. The location is a short walk to great restaurants, bars, and shopping, and is a very safe area. The beds are comfortable and the shower is warm with fantastic water pressure and great toiletries as well. The hotel staff is beyond helpful and attentive and the hotel restaurant/bar is fantastic with a great breakfast selection and a very good bar for the evening.

The good: Great location with well appointed and spacious rooms. The 24hr reception has helpful staff - Hugo was fantastic which made us feel welcomed and was a great start to our 5 week trip. There's a pool I didn't get to as it closes at 10pm before we got back from dinner. and on that note, check out the Palermo area and especially De Lo Jesus for a great authentic meal, within walking distance. The bad: The small bathroom with a shower-bath combo. The bath was very narrow so it was difficult to get in and out of. But very manageable for a night or two. The ugly: Nothing ugly about this place. But we did have a bad Uber driver experience when our 6 minute pick up turned into more than 30 minutes. So be Uber-wary.

My first time to Argentina and my first hotel here could not have been better. Super super clean, well stocked (working hair dryer, microwave, cold fridge, HOT water, great A/C, comfy bed, lots of shelves and closet space) and super safe. The door into the hotel is locked and appears to be manned all the time. Large closet, lots of shelves, drawers & cabinets, and all the outlets work. It seems to be a mostly housing community with lots of small shops at the street level. I had one of the lower priced rooms and it still had a balcony. It was fun watching all the street life... There are so many trees... many parks close by... and this area seems super dog friendly. I am staying here again at the end of my trip to Patagonia. The staff are very responsive, and their English is definitely WAY better than my Spanish, so it is easy to communicate. I am not a bar-goer, so staying in a big chain-type hotel is not my style. When the sliding door is shut the street noise is not very loud, and at night very quiet. But being in a city, it's exactly what I suspected. One can hear a little bit of noise in the hallway, but only when the staff are cleaning in the early afternoon -- no more so than hotels in which I've stayed in the USA, however. I have heard no partying or loud guests. Taking a cab to downtown Buenos Aires was easy, and it seemed pretty close by. There are so many restaurants, cafes and shopping for necessities within a stone's throw that I was very happy here. :)

Voy a ser muy específica, para evitarle el garrón a quien me lea. Estuvimos alojados del 4 al 7 de noviembre, en dos habitaciones dobles, por un valor de $ 16.900 la noche cada habitación. La relación precio calidad no existe directamente; las habitaciones son muy antiguas, el mobiliario también, se nota que no se hace mantenimiento. La habitación tenía ventilador, que en nuestro caso no funcionaba, y un aire acondicionado de la época de Perón me imagino (había que pedir que lo enciendan y lo apaguen en recepción). El colchón de muy mala calidad, se sentían los resortes y los hundimientos en ambos lados. La ropa blanca desgastada, áspera, de blanco no tenía nada. Almohadas incómodas. Los amenities de baja calidad, te entregan un sobre de shampoo y acondicionador dúo. En la habitación había solo 2 enchufes, uno inutilizable, por lo que pedí que lo arreglaran. Entraron a la habitación, lo arreglaron, y dejaron la basura en el piso y mesada del baño. Acá viene lo peor: no realizaron la limpieza ningún día de los que estuvimos. Tuvimos que pedir en recepción que repusieran por lo menos papel y jabón. Cabe destacar que la limpieza de la habitación apenas entramos no estaba bien hecha, había detalles en el baño, en el armario, y cajones. Solicité mínimamente un descuento de la burrada de plata que estaba pagando por un servicio deplorable, y la recepcionista no pudo ni pedir disculpas. No hubiese tenido problemas en pagar lo pactado, si el servicio se hubiese prestado de manera adecuada, pero no sucedió. Si pagas en efectivo te hacen la tarifa sin IVA, y sin factura (en negro, claro) Me dijeron que se iban a contactar conmigo, imagino para al menos disculp****, y no lo hicieron. Para quienes se preguntan cómo terminé en este lugar, fui en una época de alta demanda en Buenos Aires, y fue la opción que nos quedaba. Sé de conocidos que se quedaron en Puerto Madero, por la misma plata, en hoteles nuevos y súper completos. Por lo que la recomendación es que busquen con anticipación, hay muchísimas opciones más adecuadas. Por mi vivencia puedo deducir que a la gerencia del hotel no le interesa la experiencia del usuario, y tampoco las malas reseñas, pero espero poder ayudar a quienes están buscando alojamiento. Lo positivo: el desayuno, y hasta ahí no más. Mesas sucias en cualquier horario que ibas, faltaba reponer cosas, y la chica no daba a basto. El conserje de la noche buena onda. Ubicado al lado de la entrada al subte, y del shopping Abasto.
