Best Hotels near Libreria Don Beto, Merlo

After flying 12 hours or so to a city we'd never visited, in a country we'd never visited, to a hotel we'd only ever seen online, we were excited, tired, and a little apprehensive. But all our concerns went flying out the window within minutes of arriving at Hotel Vitrum. The staff were (are) able to flip to English in seconds and were ever so friendly and helpful. There was a warmness and authenticity to their interactions that can't be taught in any customer service manual. We felt welcomed as people, not just guests, or nights or whatever profit units’ hotels use for occupancy. Our suite was roadside yet quiet, modern and almost spotless. And I can recommend the bed as we slept 12 hours straight. The time zone difference between BA and Auckland is not favourable to eastbound travellers. The location for us, was fantastic. Palermo is walk-able, eclectic, hip, raw, historic and funky. And the dining (with craft beer) - oh my - so many quality choices near or even far. Asado, alfajores, empandas, choripan and all the milanesa one can eat. Throw in the wine and walking it all off becomes essential. Luckily Vitrum is within an easy walk of the subway, so all of BA is your oyster. What a pearl of a city it is. We can't wait to go back. Special mention must go to the Venezuelan concierge who made us feel most welcome. If you ever make it to New Zealand there is a seat at our table for you.

I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and sometimes fortunate enough to stay at the finest hotels a city could offer, but no hotel compares to L’ Hotel Palermo. The staff, warm and always professional, went to great lengths insuring my stay was a first-rate experience and beyond. I was given a much needed electrical adaptor, a replacement Covid mask, a better reading lamp for my failing eyes, directions around town where the best pottery store could be found and the best bakery, the closest Covid testing center, and when I requested a pencil, Martin ordered one on Amazon. How about that? Now for the hotel itself… The swimming pool area is heavenly! One could bask in the sun, surrounded by the smell of grass with butterflies gliding above by the walls of ivy. Comfy chairs, stacks of towels, cool drinking water is available and the pool, though not Olympic size was perfect for my needs. Now for the complimentary breakfast … The usual complimentary breakfast is mediocre at best, so had no expectations what-so-ever- but the variety and quality of the L’ Hotel Palermo breakfast is something special. I appreciated every morning and every bite. Delicious croissants, a variety of cereal, cheese, lunchmeat, fresh fruit, a choice of juices, coffee, tea and more, was readily available starting at 7am. A real treat. The rooms were spotless, the bed was lush and comfortable and the powerful water pressure of the shower was a joy for this longtime New Yorker. If I sound like I’m gushing like the shower … I am, I loved L’ Hotel Palermo. In addition, the district of Palermo (shops and restaurants galore) along with the soulfulness of the people of Argentina had me yearning to stay, but all good things must come to an end. I wrote this review on my return flight home feeling satisfied with a heart filled with good memories. Special thanks to all - Mariana, Lucas, Martin, Lucila, Raquel, Norma, Jose, Juan Pablo, Jean Paul, Marina, Matias, Monica, Soledad & Matias. Their combined professionalism and grace made this weary traveler feel rejuvenated. One more thing - the hotel and swimming area are more stunning in person. The website photos, however good, don’t capture the magic and loveliness of L’ Hotel Palermo. Highly recommended! (obviously).

Like most people, we chose this hotel because of its closeness to Pistarini Airport. In many ways, it seemed a good choice, once we had found a cab driver at the airport willing to take us to the hotel depriving them of the “el Centro” $US30 fare ( we had flown in from Mendoza and were flying out of the country the next day). On our arrival at the hotel we felt that we had made a good choice - reception was courteous and friendly, and we were given a room one floor up with a large balcony. It took a while to realise that the balcony was integral to the plaza of which the hotel is a part, and that the whole structure was so poorly built that the black design lining the base of the in side wall of the room to a depth of about a foot, was mould! The floor’s wooden laminate was squishy under our feet - a measure of how much moisture was in the structure. No flashings between the hotel and the plaza roof?

Check the price well before booking as suddenly you change the price, we went only for a day as we went to a recital and at the moment they changed our price to dollars, they did not respect us the x app discount we had, That was what they said and we didn't have another at that time we couldn't seek another accommodation so we had to stay there, but I'm sure it wouldn't go anymore beyond that they were nice and modern, the lady reception unprepared and unintentional to leave us in compliance, much to desire and improve
