I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is located in a beautiful traditional palace designed by the renowned Argentine architect Alejandro Bustillo. The rooms were spacious and clean, although they lacked a bit of character and warmth. The staff was very welcoming and helpful throughout my visit. The dining options left something to be desired; while the breakfast was decent, it could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it's a great value for the location, especially in the off-season.

However, service can be hit or miss, especially when it comes to stocking essentials.
