Algodon Mansion

My stay at Algodon Mansion was truly exceptional. The hotel offers a perfect balance of elegance, comfort, and warm hospitality. The rooms are beautifully appointed, spacious, and filled with luxurious details that make the experience unique. Every corner reflects great attention to detail and care for the guest. The staff deserves a special mention, as the service is impeccable. In particular, Rodrigo was an absolute gentleman – attentive, kind, and always ready to make our stay more pleasant. His professionalism and genuine hospitality elevated the entire experience. Another highlight of the hotel is its lobby, where guests are welcomed with complimentary drinks and an impressive selection of wines. It creates a relaxed and refined atmosphere, making you feel at home from the very first moment. I would highly recommend Algodon Mansion to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. It is more than just a hotel, it is an experience of comfort, class, and true Argentine hospitality.

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.

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.

Welcoming beautiful boutique hotel Great boutique hotel in the centre of Buenos Aires. Staff couldn’t be more friendly, helpful, and warm. Booked and changed reservations and gave thoughtful advice when asked. Beautiful rooms and nice reception area which provided snacks and drinks.

Loved this hotel!! The Service by the staff, particularly by Rodrigo, was the best service i have gotten in any other hotel!! They are polite, and extreme helpful at all times! Rooms are extremely big, cleaned and elegant. Location is central to every single activity and it has great choices for restaurants: Fervor, Marcelo, and Freddo (for ice cream). This is a gem of a hotel. By the way, i am from Argentina, and know the city, and i will stay at Algodon Mansion over other big and famous hotels nearby. I highly recommend Algodon Mansion for everybody. Hope to return soon!!

We celebrated our wedding in Buenos Aires and the Algodon Mansion was the perfect place for us to stay. We felt VIP here thanks to the staff and service and wonderful rooms. Thanks to Rodrigo for all the assistance and making things so smooth. We will definitely be back.
