Hotel Conte

I had booked a nearby hotel but it was so awful I moved after my pre-paid one week was up and went into this hotel on spec. Booked the next 4 nights. They were very comfortable, and I would like to mention one of the front desk staff, Diego, as he was so helpful on my initial enquiries and thereafter with different things. Much appreciated. Hotel is nice, breakfast was good, location great. With the current economy in the city, nightly rate was very good. Most of Buenos Aires seems to be in need of maintenance, but this hotel was 5 star compared to where I was previously.

Rather 2-3 star hotel, not 4star as indicated. Very old furniture. Comfortable bed. Breakfast basic.

The unit didn't have a refrigerator. The towels smell bad. The breakfast was simple.

Very well located. Nice staff. The hotel needs an upgrade, facilities, floors, furniture bathrooms are way too old.

The hotel is very old. Need urgent renovation. The A/C was not functioning, need to open the window to have air flow in and out. Towels provided were so dark. The flush was not working properly. There was no blanket, on the bed was only a linen. Stayed only one night, checked out early morning to catch a flight. Not recommended.

POSITIVES: Location was amazing. Just a stone-throw from the Obelisk and a wide range of nice restaurants. The room itself was very nice; the bed was comfortable and big, the shower was amazing. Breakfast was very good. Price of the stay was excellent. NEGATIVES: A reliable WIFI connection is very important for travellers who do not have access to mobile phone data due to high roaming costs. Their wifi network seems to be unable to accommodate the big number of guests. We spoke about it with the staff two times and they said they would restart the router, etc, but the truth is that we did not have wifi connection in our room. It is not that the connection was slow or poor, we just did not have any, so we had to go and sit in the lobby in order to get connected. The elevators seem to be in poor service, they are very noisy and rattle a lot, and we did get stuck briefly. (When we got to the 11th floor, the inner door of the elevator opened, but the outer didn't, so effectively the elevator opened to a black metal wall. We panicked a bit and then travelled to a different floor, where the issue did not repeat.

Computer was down and couldn't download a room key, then couldn't connect to Wifi. And when I called the desk, nobody answered the phone, so twice I had to ride the elevator down 13 floors to ask a question.

Very convenient and good value.

Nice hotel, comfortable
