Reviews of Algodon Mansion

Very high-end hotel, the service staff is very enthusiastic and will answer any questions

The hotel is in a very good location in Recoleta, a converted palacio, where we had 2 adjacent rooms for 3 nights before returning to Europe. Rooms are large and of modern design, as are the bathrooms. At this level however, one would expect a safe that can fit a laptop, and accessible power plugs (or USB connections) by the bedsides, but there is only one line of 1 power plug each of different international types at the desk, and no USB. The lighting system is a bit difficult, and as there seem to be two parallel systems we could not fully work out its operation, and also could not find a working nightlight in the bathroom, and there is no make-up mirror as a substitute. Walls are quite thin, as you can actually understand people talking in the bathroom next door. The air conditioning system works well, but the unit in the hall outside the room door was so loud, that we could hear it through the closed doors. The team was friendly, but we were the only guests at the time, so services were at a minimum, and a strange feeling of solitude prevailed. The room had likely not been used for some time, as we killed a spider in the bathroom mat when opening, and the bathroom sinks drained very slowly. The pool on the rooftop is small and not heated, and under “surveillance” from the windows of the tall neighboring buildings, so we might not have used it even on warmer days. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but a lounge and snack station in the lobby, where the front desk receptionist will serve free drinks and snacks on demand. We bought some pastries in the very good pasteleria on the other side of the street, and had it with coffee in the lobby, which was very nice. For breakfast, hotel guests are sent to the Tea Connection next door, a franchise with completely unacceptable levels of service and food quality. When we came in at 08:15 the first morning, there were only 2 other guests. The waiter took our order and then chatted with the barista for 20 minutes and they had their coffees, until they finally decided it was time to prepare a (very poor) cappuccino for us. It was served with cold eggs on toast … The friendly hotel staff offered to get breakfast to the Lobby Lounge after our first morning experience, which worked o.k. Would we come back next time in BsAs? Probably not, as the price/service ratio appears unfavorable compared to other options in the area, and facilities and service levels here are not even close to expectations for a 5-star rating. It is a nice boutique hotel with limited services in a perfect location, but more than ten years from its initial Tripadvisor badges, and when the hotel was a Relais & Chateaux member, it might benefit from a technical and conceptual make-over.

Great boutique hotel in wonderful neighborhood. easy walking distance to the sites. The hotel staff were excellent and incredibly responsive. Rooms are great. Multiple breakfast options and nice afternoon drinks/snacks. Highly recommend.

The staff is great and we enjoyed the breakfast being delivered to our room daily. Great location, plenty of restaurants within walking distance. We had some bathroom leakage which they addressed pretty quickly. While they offered complimentary glass of wine daily, their selection is pretty limited. Overall pleasant stay but would stay the place is overpriced but this seems to be a common theme in Argentina.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at this luxurious boutique hotel, which combines the charm of a former mansion with the modern amenities expected in 5-star accommodations. The staff was outstanding, providing personal service without being intrusive. They were warm and welcoming, communicating with us before our arrival until our check-out. Rodrigo, Tomas, Franco, Giuliana, and Pablo offered excellent suggestions for places to eat and activities. If we needed reservations, they were quick to arrange them. They were also kind enough to store our luggage while we traveled to Iguazu for a few days. When we returned to Buenos Aires, our bags were waiting for us in our room. Additionally, they arranged for a late check-out on our departure day since we had a late flight home. We also enjoyed the newly renovated rooftop pool. It was small but perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring the city. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom featured a large soaking tub. We especially appreciated the complimentary wine from their vineyard in Mendoza, which was always available in the lobby lounge along with delicious pastries and small sandwiches. We will always remember our first visit to Buenos Aires, thanks to the wonderful team at Algodon who helped make our stay special. We look forward to returning!

We were intending on spending 4 nights at this hotel but had to change our plans as a result of a family medical issue and only got to stay one night . This is a unique hotel with a unique offering. Beautiful common areas and rooms in a fully redesigned former grand home. Complimentary wines , which were excellent, and snacks in a beautiful lounge in one of the better neighborhoods in the city. Rodrigo and the rest of the staff were excellent hosts who make you feel at home. If you want a special stay that is the opposite of a bustling large hotel this is it. We will make a trip back to get the rest of our nights in when we can.

Our third stay, and we keep choosing them because of the excellence of the place, the kind, absolutely helpful staff, the great location and the insuperable comfort they provide. Attentive, informative, helpful, kind. From front desk, to house keeping, to bar, to maintenance. All admirable people that know their jobs and will go above and beyond. We love this place and its people. Gretel, Juliana, Valentina, Guillermina, Luisa, Leonardo, Rodrigo, Tomás, Franco, Enrique, Juan and all.

Boutique hotel with exceptional staff! Such a welcoming place where all who work here are helping to ensure you are comfortable and enjoying your stay. There are add’l nice touches the hotel provides to their guests - area off the lobby has rotating snacks and beverages throughout the day, no cost mini bar in every room, all en suite rooms, large bathrooms and more. Bonus that the property is in a great location and is walkable to many of the sights, museums, great restaurants and just exploring. Repeating how friendly and solicitous the entire team was to us everyday. I would stay here again!

This is a really great boutique hotel that I will select on every trip I make to Argentina in the future. The staff was excellent and extremely helpful. The rooms were extremely comfortable and the bed was gigantic and just right for us. Nice touch were the complimentary breakfast. Also snacks at the bar available most of the day and complimentary wine from their vineyard in Mendoza which is also their an awarded restaurant and sports center. Tennis, gulf etc. which I hope to visit on my next trip. I highly recommend Algodon for a great stay. And the wine was very good.

Superb service. Well worth the money. The rooms are extremely spacious. We will return next time. Their wines are complimentary and of high quality. You will love this boutique hotel like we did! The have an ample and healthy daily breakfast selection

Our stay at Algodon Mansion was fantastic, largely due to the top notch service. From the minute we walked in until the minute we walked out, the staff was making a concerted effort to provide us with the best, kindest service possible. Rodrigo and Leo helped us to get reservations at restaurants and find reputable money exchange locations while Juan Cruz and Vale made sure we had not only delicious drinks and food at all times, but also great conversation. We felt like they really cared about us and wanted us to experience everything Buenos Aires has to offer. The accommodations are extremely comfortable (slept soooo well in the gigantic king bed) and the new roof terrace provides a quiet, beautiful view of Recoleta. The hotel fully includes drinks and delicious breakfasts/appetizers and it's not one of those things where they hope you don't enjoy that perk. They were always asking us if we wanted a new cocktail (we became huge fans of Fernet + Coke and enjoyed several custom negronis), and there were endless bottles of delicious wine and Smartwater at all times. I do think the rooms would benefit from an update (like they just completed on the terrace), but they were quite spacious and like I said, extremely comfortable. Fantastic place to stay and huge thanks to the amazing staff. We'll go back.

Outstanding stay in this beautiful jewel of a hotel. The staff is exemplary in every way--incredibly accommodating and kind at every turn. Our room/suite was clean and wonderfully equipped with small details including a desk with multiple types of outlets. Breakfast, snacks, and beverages were plentiful and generous. The location is perfect--Recoleta is gorgeous, retaining a French/European vibe. There are great restaurants, galleries and shopping nearby, and it's an easy walk to Recoleta Cemetery and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes. Algodon's staff is priceless--truly making this beautiful hotel the perfect stay for BA. I will definitely stay here again on a return trip.

From start to finish, our experience at the Algodon Mansion was excellent. The concierges were incredibly helpful and helped us get reservations we could not get on our own. The hotel is a gorgeous and special architectural gem which has been elegantly modernized. The room was huge (as was the "King" bed which was actually the size of two full beds sisde by side". The amenitis are fabulous-delicious snacks and treats avialble throughout the day. , gratis, as is the wine and beverages supplied in the room. Breaksfast next door ( also included) was delicious. My brother-in-law recommended this hotel and we are so happy he did. First class experinece all the way!

It is a beautiful hotel in a great location in Recoletta. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed. The staff were very kind and attentive. A nice touch is that they had wine and snack available most of the day and evening. On the last day they were able give us a late check-out, which was much appreciated since we had a 10:25PM flight back to the United States. We will definitely will return to the Algodon.
