Stayed here on my return from Antartica. The hotel itself is wonderful. The food was great and the staff were so helpful. It’s close to everything. The rooms were large and clean. On my last day I booked a two hour massage at their spa. It was 100,000 Argentina Pesos. I don’t mind paying for a top notch spa experience but this was anything but top notch. The massage itself was ok at best. They don’t have any in house masseuse. So you don’t know what you are getting. The spa itself doesn’t even have chairs in the waiting area and it’s basically in a gym. My spa room was at the end of the locker room and someone came in mid massage. The massage was not the 2 hours I paid for but an hour and forty five minutes at most. If you are going to charge top dollar prices you better provide top dollar services. I had an 8,000 peso massage in Ushuaia that was 10x better. Very dissatisfied, but the hotel overall is very nice.

This hotel is very conveniently located close to the tourist area and has plenty of very good restuaratnts in its locality, although the hotel food is still very good and reasonably priced. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. The front desk and foyer staff were extremelya ccommodating and very helpful for the whole duration of our stay. I woudl certainly recommend it to anyone wnating a good hotel!
