We spent 7 days at Melia Recoleta as our home base. It was wonderful, from early check in accommodation to departure. Perfectly located, walkable to Michelin rated restaurants, cafes, parks. The friendly English speaking hotel staff, including front desk, housekeepers, servers,... made our stay a pleasure. The lobby is beautiful, the breakfast, especially the coffee was a wonderful start to the day.

From start to finish all the staff at this hotel were fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is kept pristine with a fabulous welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast in the -1 basement (which doubles up as an amazing jazz club in the evening) is incredible with an assortment of hot & cold delights to set you up for the day. Jazz night btw - book at reception for £5 approx per person. Food & drink extra but you can choose those once you’re seated. It’s cool & quirky and you’ll get up close and personal with the brilliant artists. A great way to end an evening before a night cap in the hotel bar. Again with great staff, good wine and amazing memorabilia. You can check out Maradona’s shirt in the glass case if you’re a footy fan. Roof top dip pool and chill area was a nice relax & for those wanting a quick cardio work out … a little gym area. Location wise … perfect. This hotel is 10 minutes walk from the Recoleta Cemetery & you can wander around the busy Recoleta with its busy bars and restaurants and there also a great Saturday street market. Excursions are readily available at the desk & prices are comparable to any excursion company in BA so just tell them what you fancy doing and they’ll arrange it. Money exchange for the blue dollar is opposite and there an array of shops & restaurants nearby.

We stayed at this hotel twice in a week (before and after going to Iguazu Falls). Our first stay was better than the second. Both rooms had comfortable beds, but the first room was better equipped with luggage tables, easier access to recharging electronics, two chairs (rather than one) and the air conditioning worked much better in the first room. We had to call hotel maintenance to work on the AC in the second room and they came right away. The breakfast is good, but eggs tend to be undercooked. The reason for only 3 stars on the review is because we had our noise canceling headphones stolen from the safe! Actually, we accidentally left them when we checked out of the hotel on our first stay. When we came back two days later and asked about them, they were gone. I’m not really surprised by this, but I believe hotel staff must have taken them and the hotel staff that we’ve discussed this with really don’t seem to be looking for them. It would’ve been nice for hotel management to speak to us. Instead we’ve had to go to the desk multiple times to ask. When dealing with the front desk there is ALWAYS a long wait! Very frustrating!
