“Last time ever”

Hotel Posta Carretas

2 of 5 stars

Actually I AM in the hotel now and we are staying here for 6 noghts with a group of 6.

The decor is brown and old a definitely needs to be renewed.
The last time they invest serious money in this hotel must be ages away, and you can tell that by the whole interior of the premises.

I just sent and email to my travel agent and let me copy a part of my email in here:

The Posta Carretas is a four star hotel, but it does not look like that.
The rooms have everything that makes them 4 stars but the rooms and the rest of the hotel is of a very poor standard.
Everything looks very very old and lots things why I booked the hotel for aren't worth a visit. (The pool is freezing cold and a bit bigger than a bathtub, the sauna is not warm and fits 3 people only) and so I can continue a long time.
The breakfast and service at the breakfast is so poor (cold toast, green cold boiled eggs, old bread and so on), you will ge better in a 2 or 3 star hotel.
So is it worth the money overall? NO! Absolutely not!

END COPY.

So, think twice before you book.

Anything positive? Yes, the bell boys are friendly and the elevators are working well.

The hotel is located around all the major sites. My room was clean and had a balcony and a jacuzzi in it. Breakfasts were nice, the hotel was quiet. Next time I'm down in Buenos Aires I will definatly be staying here.

We recently stayed here. The hotel is excellent.

The location was central to many things in the city, such as sites, shopping, and restaurants.

The staff was wonderful. Full service and they will even make reservations and arrangements for you.

The rooms were very nice and super clean.

Well worth the stay.

“Location counts for something”

4/5 found this review helpful

Due to a last minute change of plans, we needed a hotel for one night and Posta Carretas served its purpose. The staff was helpful when asked but not exceedingly friendly. Make sure to find a room away from the front side of the hotel which is on a busy street (read: LOUD). The decor was a bit dark and did not have a "modern" feel but the room was clean and perfectly acceptable with a large bathroom that was the highlight. Not a room I'd want to spend much time in doing anything other than sleeping but with the hotel's location in the heart of the city with the sites, restaurants/cafes/bars, and shopping nearby, there is no reason to spend any time in the room.

I was a member of an expedition group that was on our way back from Patagonia, we stayed at Hotel Posta Carretas on our last three days, the standard of accommodation was high along with the service and facilities available.
