Melia Recoleta Square

Every time we came back to our room the door was open, even though we had checked it prior to leaving. It was very disconcerting. Check in was very slow and seemed to take forever. While the location was great I’m struggling to understand the five star rating. Not impressed with the breakfast and they served terrible gluten free bread. Buenos Aires has excellent gluten free bakeries. We also stayed at Magnolia Hotel in Palermo which was only 3 stars but we liked it much better.

A perfect stay in a lovely area. We particularly enjoyed the basement Jazz Club, visiting twice during our four night stay. Fantastic performances both days. The hotel is charming and the staff make you feel very welcome.

Great location but a very old hotel. Uncomfortable rooms (small bathroom, tiny desk and side tables and an annoying light on the window that stays on all night). The breakfast room is in a basement with no windows/natural light and a loud piano, the omelette person was there only one of the 4 days I stayed. Check out took over 20min.

Beautiful boutique hotel in the best area of Buenos Aires. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast. I surely will return there when in BA

Good location. Friendly staff. Comfortably room

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast included. Comfortable room and bed. The lobby and room furniture could be updated/refreshed.

Lovely, friendly, helpful staff, clean hotel, safe area in Recoleta. Nice room of a decent size, firm but comfortable bed, nice sheets and pillows, air conditioning and fridge. Our room was quiet even though all rooms are very close to the elevator. Breakfast was great. Cambio just across the road to change dollars to pesos (must do for best rates). 2 really good restaurants next door Fervor (more upmarket, fish & steak) and Sanjuanino (locals & empanadas), so good for not having to walk too far at night. Worth every penny for hotel to organise pickup at airport rather than take an unsafe, tiny, not very clean taxi.

This was my second stay after a five night stay last week. This time I was in and older part of the hotel, and the room was somewhat rundown. It was not as nice as the room that I had last week. All other services were the same. The staff is very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. My only bad experience was receiving a $147 charge after my first day, and no one could explain what it was for. Other than that the Melia is an excellent property.

Melia Recoleta is a special place, it's the whole thing: the historical building, the staff, the neighborhood, the feeling you're in the heart of a Buenos Aires that keeps the best, besides and beyond whatever happens. Don't miss the opportunity and stay, and enjoy.
