I stayed a total of six nights at Principado Downtown and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel is right in the heart of downtown in the Retiro district, making it extremely walkable. There are unlimited shopping options just minutes away, with Galerías Pacífico only a few blocks from the hotel. The rooms are large, quiet, clean, and comfortable, with very comfy beds. A minibar and snacks are available, which is a nice convenience after a long day out. Despite the central location, the hotel remains surprisingly peaceful. The staff truly stand out — super helpful and accommodating. Online check-in was easy, and luggage storage was available, which made arrival and departure days stress-free. The complimentary breakfast was very nice, with a good selection to start the day. Overall, Principado Downtown is an excellent choice for anyone wanting comfort, convenience, and outstanding location in Buenos Aires. I would happily stay here again.

O hotel aparenta ser recém reformado, com estruturas novas e bem cuidadas. A limpeza é impecável (raridade em BUE). Equipe super educada e solícita. O quarto não é tão grande, mas o suficiente para duas pessoas e bagagens. Cafe da manhã com produtos de qualidade

Staying here is like being in an episode of Fawlty Towers. You have to ask several times for simple things ie towells, and dont even consider ordering a taxi pick up at the airport, which they offer. I sent several messages over 12 days and heard nothing. At the hotel they just stared at me. Their business is mostly tour groups so they dont need to worry about catering to new customers. I wont return. There are many other hotels in the same area.

I didn’t hate our stay but was disappointed by a lot of things. Elevators were small. The room advertised as Superior is not the room available. Not all superior rooms have large space or a balcony, in fact only ONE room had a balcony. The worst part was is I showed the staff that it was advertised that all superior rooms (which I paid extra for) were big with balconies they told me that was not true AND kept insisting I didn’t pay extra when I did pay an extra $200 a night for the space advertised. The street next to us was noisy with honking all hours of the day and the walls are paper thin so you can literally hear people just watching TV in other rooms. Though there were nice staff members, there was one that I informed about an issue with our door and he blamed me saying I wasn’t doing it properly when in fact it was the hotel door that ran out of battery. Then they said they had to buy batteries to let us in our room and we were late to the event we had to go to since we were trying to change. The breakfast was sub par, not much available and not very good at all. It just was pastries, some fruit, lukewarm scrambled eggs and like some store bought ham. I don’t like to leave bad reviews but if you’re staying here where it’s located is great and central to pretty much everything, and it’s a safe area but I wouldn’t pay extra for the superior room and just be aware that it’s extremely noisy. I only rated above two stars because the room itself was not a bad size.
