If you have a choice, don't go.

When I booked the room, I was told that if I arrived later than 18:00 I had to pick up the keys at another establishment. I was about to cancel, but they wouldn't return the money, so I decided it was better to go by taxi to the first establishment to pick up the keys and the matter was resolved. I arrived at Buenos Aires airport at two o'clock in the morning, the taxi took me to the establishment to pick up the keys to the room. They don't give me any indication, only a key. When I arrive at the Hotel Babel, the key doesn't work. After several minutes trying to get in, the taxi driver tells me that he has to leave, that he has been docked twice in the same area. I convince him to take me back to the first establishment. The person in charge tells me that he's new, and that he can't help me. There is no phone I can call. Finally I decide to stay in the establishment where I pick up the keys, which is a youth hostel. He tells me that I have to pay for it, that it has nothing to do with the first one. The room is a backpacker's hostel, and the bathroom is shared. At least it was clean. The next day at Hotel Babel they apologize and tell me that they forgot the key to the entrance, that they had put in a new system, but they didn't tell me the access code either. They didn't give me back the cost of the room, but they offer me to stay one night free of char

No pude hacer el ingreso al hotel, y quisieron cobrarme dos veces la estadia no económica. Aun me deben ese dia que finalmente no pude disfrutar, y debi salir a buscar otro hotel alas 23 horas, porque la llave había que ir a buscarla a 10 caudras del hotel..

UN BUEN AUTOSERVICIO

ES UN HOTEL MUY AUTOSERVICIO, CASI UN HOSTEL EN ESE SENTIDO. MUY LIMPIO Y ORDENADO. MUY CORDIAL LA ATENCIÓN, LINDA UBICACIÓN. EL SERVICIO DE HABITACIÓN OMITE ENCENDER LA ESTUFA ANTES DE TU LLEGADA Y REPONER SHAMPOO Y ACONDICIONADOR SI NO ES A PEDIDO. NO HAY ALFOMBRA EN EL BAÑO PARA LOS PIES. DESAYUNO BÁSICO Y AUTOSERVICIO

Frustrante

O hotel promete café da manhã incluso, mas além de muito simples, nem todos os dias é servido. A água quente no chuveiro não atende a duas pessoas! Passamos frio. O box vaza água por todo o banheiro. O ar quente do ar condicionado não funciona.

No es muy bueno que no haya personal para la atención después de las 18:00, ni siquiera un numero de teléfono para llamar si tenes un problema. El desayuno muy escaso y con poca variedad de alimentos.

The area around the hotel is not too bad, but at night it got really noisy. The cleanliness and condition of the room could be improved more by offering cleaner bed sheets and blankets. I slept in room 05 and there were some old and dirty blankets and bed sheets in the wardrobe. The blanket I used was not too clean as well. The reception area and the common area were nice.

ATTENTION

Il faut savoir que les hôtels Babel ne sont pas des hôtels mais des mini studios avec un service d'accueil limité à des horaires précis. Il se peut que vous arriviez et qu'il n'y est personne pour vous ouvrir la porte et vous accueillir !!! Ce n'est pas parce que vous réservez un hôtel Babel à une adresse que c'est celui là que vous aurez en arrivant !!! On est arrivé porte close avec un numéro de téléphone inscrit sur la porte, personne ne nous à répondu, et ce malgré plusieurs appels ! Nous nous sommes rendus à une adresse indiquée aussi sur la porte et là on nous a dirigé vers une troisième adresse ou nous avons enfin pu nous installer....mais dans un quartier que nous n'avons pas choisi ! C'est la deuxième fois que cela ce produit avec cette chaîne d'hôtel, on ne passera plus jamais par eux !!!
