“Really liked Sol Melia”

Melia Buenos Aires

4 of 5 stars
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Feb 10, 2008

I really liked this hotel. The rooms are very spacious including a large desk for work and several chairs. The bathroom was great with a large tube. The hotel is new and my room was always clean.
The hotel has a gym and a small pool in the lower floor.
Breakfast was very good.
Hotel location is nice depending on your trip purpose. I found it very well located for shopping but, at night, the street gets a bit deserted with some strange types around. It might be safer to get around by cabs in the evening.
The only thing that could be improved is internet access, which is still through cable and is expensive.
Other than that, I really liked this hotel.

“wow”

Melia Buenos Aires

Jan 20, 2008

Took a four day break from the US to see BA and looked up hotels on tripadvisor and others for weeks. This hotel had only decent reviews although I wanted to stay in the one in Recoleta. I´m glad I stayed here as it was cheaper. Had a bad noise in my room which they claimed to have fixed and after nine hours didn't. BUT they upgraded my room to the one you see in a previous photo someone shared. Beautiful modern decor and LARGE by US standards not to mention sparkling clean. On Reconquista and still quiet. Safe and you can walk to loads of sites from here. Staff very gracious and well informed.
The price was $137 including wonderful breakfast. And this was peak season.

“excellent receptionist”

Melia Buenos Aires

Dec 25, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

we stayed at the hotel 9-12th december. the location was good as was the room, breakfast etc. There was no concierge however the reception staff (one in particular) were excellent and much more helpful than any concierge we have ever encountered. The only downside to the hotel was the luggage storage. We had a late flight out of Buenos Aires and therefore left our luggage at the hotel, when we came back to the hotel it took them at least half an hour to bring our luggage back. We would recommend this hotel the rates we got were very reasonable.

“Not Good for Tourists”

Melia Buenos Aires

1 of 5 stars
Washington DC
Aug 19, 2007
4/15 found this review helpful

I just returned from a vacation in Buenos Aires. We had two rooms at the hotel and stayed for 6 nights. We had asked for adjoining rooms as the hotel advertised that they were available on its website. However, we were assigned rooms on different floors. We told them that this was unacceptable and they finally gave us two rooms close together on the same floor, but they were not connected rooms. The rooms were a nice size and they had the usual amenities. The hotel is centrally located and is close to many restaurants.

August is winter in Buenos Aries. The weather while we were there was between 50-70 degrees, not cold by North American standards. When you turned on the air, only hot air would come out and it got incredibly hot in the room. We had to keep the air off and open the window in order to have air circulating. The only problem was the noise from the open window. The traffic in the city is very heavy and there are always people on the sidewalks.

The linens are very hard, poor quality. The maids did not replenish the supplies. They failed to re-stock the toilet paper and did not give us washcloths after the first day. We had to call down many times to get the right items. If you stay here, be sure to hang the do not disturb sign. I forgot to do that some days and the maid came right in without knocking.

If your coming to the city on business or to visit someone, I suppose it's o.k.. I would not recommend this hotel if you're a tourist coming for a vacation. There is no concierge to help you plan trips or to give guidance about the city. The front desk can book tours, but they will only book through one tour company, "Traveline". We booked two tours from them and they were horrible. The guides were not knowledgeable and they used small cramped buses. Also, the hotel quoted a certain price for the trip, but when the tour company picked us up, we were quoted a higher price. I'm not sure what was going on here. When we asked the hotel if they could book us tours through a different tour operator, they were unwilling to do so.

A buffet breakfast was included with the price of the room. It was the same everyday. They had a good selection of fruit and juices and assorted breads. They had a small selection of yogurt, cereal and cheeses. They had scrambled eggs which were runny and undercooked, bacon which was virtually all fat, and potatoes and sausage.

Buenos Aires: If you're considering Buenos Aires for a vacation, you may want to think again. I consulted many articles and travel books before I went and was truly disappointed once I got there. There is simply not much to do in this city. Hardly any museums or interesting sights to see. Travel books I read compared BA to other European capitals, but I found a real lack of culture in this city. I've vacationed in London, Paris and Amsterdam and no there's no comparison. Buenos Aires is very congested, full of traffic and polluted. The streets are littered with trash. Also, there are homeless cats and dogs that just roam and city's streets and parks.

“Very Nice Hotel”

Melia Buenos Aires

4 of 5 stars
Mobile, AL
Jun 12, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Melia Buenos Aires for five days at the end of May. We were very pleased with the ambiance, service, and attitude of the staff. The hotel is very convenient (only two blocks from Florida Street) and the rooms are very nice. We booked a superior room and were not totally satisfied with our 3rd floor room in the front (traffic noise). When they mentioned that the staff quickly changed us to a better and bigger corner room higher up and in the back of the hotel—very quiet and spacious. The breakfast is included and very good. The Internet is an extra charge and a bit expensive—the only thing keeping me from giving the hotel a five-star rating.
