La propiedad necesita reparación , abres una ducha y a la hora sale el agua caliente, en los baños no hay secadoras de pelo, las cortinas llenas de huecos,no cierran, llegamos y nos dieron una habitación, que parecía una cárcel, hablé con la recepcionista y me dijo q si no me convenía (11:30 de la noche llegue) que tenía q llamar a Expidia, cuando me cambio para la habitación la cual había escogido yo y pagado, ya que en las fotos se veía fenomenal, Expidia ponía una habitación buena, es la q explico , había un frío, horrible, no te dicen, ni de calefacción, muy grosera, la q nos recibió esa noche , al otro día domingo fuimos a desayunar, no han visto en su vida un desayuno bueno, Todo frío, ni donde calentarse, Café Si a eso se le puede llamar café??? Sin embargo al otro día la rubia y la trigueña muy atentas las dos y el muchacho de la noche, el día antes de irnos nos dijeron sabían IDs que tenían desayuno aquí !!! Y le dijimos deben mejorarlo, ósea pagamos por algo q no consumimos, Porque si sabia la recepción que teníamos una habitación mejor que a las que nos llevó no nos la dio desde el primer momento cuando íbamos a estar una semana allí??? Definitivamente expidia debe mejorar y ver lo que oferta, es la compañía q uso por muchos años y espero q analicen bien lo que venden, Viajo y compro siempre a través de Expidia pero no dejo de reconocer que hay también otras muy buenas !! Espero que analicen bien lo que venden

Terrible experience
This was officially the first hotel I ever stayed in. Room was very run down, shower broken,WiFi only worked on the first floor, location is very convenient but not safe at all, especially for families with kids. No hairdryer in the room. When u came down to the reception to ask for the thirstier, they had 4 and all of them were unsafe to use. Only one power outlet worked in the room. I strongly suggest to stay away from this property as it is terrible inside and location is dangerous.

The staff was very friendly. I made international calls and the property didn't charged me because it was for my family. That is so nice of them!!! The area felt safe for me during the day. I didn't go out out late at night but that's a general rule of thumb when you travel internationally. I like the area because there's many places to eat, many stores, and public transportation is nearby. The hotel is old and the amenities are outdated but that's it has it's own charm. If you are looking for modern hotel and amenities, this is not it. But you are out exploring places anyway and then come back for the night to rest and sleep this is it.

Booked in for 6 nights, left after 4. Noisy!. A room the size of a cupboard, a single bed meant for a child, noisy men shouting and slamming doors all night, traffic from the main street constant - sirens, buses, fights on the street. Breakfast very basic made worse by a large loud group of men staying there.

The staff was very nice and helpful. I initially booked at the Lennox up the street which was a swanky boutique hotel but they tried to double charge me. The mundial is affordable yet clean and very centrally located. I was not bothered and enjoyed my stay very much.

Better than good.
Its hard to imagine a better place to stay for the price and keep the Argentine living style. The breakfast is good too if you are okay eating like the local culture. Although it says you have to pay upon arrival (if not paying online) they let me pay just whenever before check-out.

It was close to lots of restaurants and bars. Near to buses and the subway. Rooms were small and the bathrooms tiny but surprisingly still had a bidet which made them even more cramped. Breakfast plentiful but basic, coffee was good.

Would never ever stay there again the room you advertised on your site was not the room I got, the room I got was tiny a single bed thrown in the corner that barely fitted me the bathroom was tiny I had to step over the toilet bowl to get to the shower, everything was tiny dark and dingy. If this is what you call a room then I will have to look else where to do my future bookings. Most disappointing
