The location is excellent and the staff was super helpful but the hotel itself has aged and would benefit from a little TLC. Also, from our room on the first floor you could hear water running very loudly through the pipes when guests in rooms above were having a shower. Overall a good experience nevertheless and quite affordable.

I am confused by this survey - The hotel did not have the room I booked they said the air conditioner was broken and did not have any availability for the room type I booked - I called hotels.com and was told I would be given a full refund because of this also the dates of this survey do not match the date for my booking - my booking date was Thursday- checking out Friday this survey list Wednesday- Thursday

This was only the 2nd time we had booked a boutique hotel. This experience far exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly welcoming & friendly. Also probably the best continental breakfast I've had anywhere in my travels. I would go back just for the coffee alone. We miss this place already.

Large room with microwave and mini-fridge. Bed was comfortable. Employees were very friendly and helpful. They made taxi arrangements so that we could get to the airport in plenty of time for our flight. They also gave us directions to a pizza restaurant and pharmacy. The breakfast they serve is excellent and offers pastries and breads, juices, cheese and ham. The coffee is excellent.

Where design and comfort meet
Staying at this hotel is always an experience for the senses. The style and layout of the spaces is minimalist at heart but warm, inviting, cozy and comfortable. Great public spaces especially the lounge underground. To top all this off, the staff is incredibly attentive... Monica, Miguel, Valeria, Mateo.... and the rest of the crew made me feel at home. AAA+

Excellent location. The room needs a bit of improvement, especially the bathroom fittings, and the A/C a bit too noisy. Good breakfast and excellent staff, helpful and polite.

I love the location of the hotel, there are so many restaurants And shops. The room has very nice park view and very spacious. Staff are very nice and helpful specially Monica. We stayed there for 4 nights and 4 nights in Hilton. The price were the same and the qualities were so different. This hotel has a contestant smell of bathroom in the elevator and the rooms. Needs a lot of renovation Bc everything is pretty old. The pool is pretty much a hole in the ground.

This was a good location for all we did in Buenos Aires. It was directly across from a park which made for a nice view. The decor was plain but clean. We generally don’t need fancy accommodations when we travel. The best thing about this hotel was the staff, especially Monica and Grey. They were so helpful, but more so they were such pleasant ladies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We went to Iguazú Falls for one night and the hotel kept our luggage at the hotel for when we returned so we didn’t have to lug it with us. It was waiting for us in our room when we returned late from the airport. We would highly recommend this property.

Great Little Place
My wife and I stayed at the Design CE Hotel for 16 days. It was our first trip to Buenos Aires. The location of the hotel was great! It was within walking distance of the Teatro Colon where we had tickets for opera and the neighbourhood had several good restaurants nearby. As a neighbourhood it wasn't as crazy as San Telmo or Palermo but we appreciated the relaxed tranquility. As a seasoned traveller I was pleasantly surprised that the breakfast service which started at 7 a.m. went until noon. On holiday one usually likes to get up around 10 a.m. so this was great! The room was in the style of an industrial loft which might not be to everyone's taste but I found it practical, clean and uncluttered. The wifi was fast and worked the whole time. The front desk staff was helpful in helping us secure restaurant reservations and even showing us how to travel by subway. Also, they introduced us to Yerba Mate!!! This is a hotel I would definitely come back to.
