Fotos no reflejan para nada la situación y condición actual de la propiedad. La propiedad necesita manteniniento y reacondicionamiento urgentemente. El olor a tubería/cañeria en la habitación, pasillo y elevador es constante. Los ruidos de las demás habitaciones se reflejaban claramente en nuestra habitación incluyendo los del baño y cañerias.

all i can say is do not stay here, it is the most dishonest person owning it or running it- i left and they would not refund me. I booked it literally last minute and did not read reviews on google... read the reviews... it is exact... they show you a balcony and the photos are misleading, when you arrive they want 200 usd to upgrade to what you thought you were getting. the rooms are dated, there is an entire building being ripped down outside the hotel windows on the back side, noise, toxic, they would not refund, me, they would not even split it with me. such dishonesty. there are stains on the curtains, the bathtubs have a hint of yellow, it has never been upgraded and should not be allowed to advertise on expedia nor booking... complete dishonest owners and managers . do not stay here

Place was in the Recoleta area (more or less) and is very reasonably priced. It is clean and functional (mostly), outfitted with Ikea-like furnishings. If you are dependent on internet service, you're pretty much out of luck unless you want to camp out by the front desk. Front door was not working for 3 days, many burned out light bulbs. Once you climb into the tub shower (not easy if you have joint issues!) the water pressure is great, so that is a plus!

We stayed there for 4 nights and 4 nights in Hilton. The price were the same and the qualities were so different. This hotel has a contestant smell of bathroom in the elevator and the rooms. Needs a lot of renovation Bc everything is pretty old.

This was a good location for all we did in Buenos Aires. It was directly across from a park which made for a nice view. The decor was plain but clean. We generally don’t need fancy accommodations when we travel. The best thing about this hotel was the staff, especially Monica and Grey. They were so helpful, but more so they were such pleasant ladies. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We went to Iguazú Falls for one night and the hotel kept our luggage at the hotel for when we returned so we didn’t have to lug it with us. It was waiting for us in our room when we returned late from the airport. We would highly recommend this property.

Great Little Place

My wife and I stayed at the Design CE Hotel for 16 days. It was our first trip to Buenos Aires. The location of the hotel was great! It was within walking distance of the Teatro Colon where we had tickets for opera and the neighbourhood had several good restaurants nearby. As a neighbourhood it wasn't as crazy as San Telmo or Palermo but we appreciated the relaxed tranquility. As a seasoned traveller I was pleasantly surprised that the breakfast service which started at 7 a.m. went until noon. On holiday one usually likes to get up around 10 a.m. so this was great! The room was in the style of an industrial loft which might not be to everyone's taste but I found it practical, clean and uncluttered. The wifi was fast and worked the whole time. The front desk staff was helpful in helping us secure restaurant reservations and even showing us how to travel by subway. Also, they introduced us to Yerba Mate!!! This is a hotel I would definitely come back to.

Credit Card Security Risk

They hand write your full credit card information on a piece of paper for use if there are incidentals they need to charge after your departure. They pre-charge $300 so I do not understand why they need to write full credit card info. For me this is a very risky practice that can easily lead to credit card information getting stolen. I would not recommend this hotel.

Fabulous & Friendly Boutique Hotel

A wonderful boutique hotel, that we can't say enough great things about it.

Within 24 hours of booking the hotel contacted me directly offering their assistance, and helped to make arrangements for a car service to pick us up at the airport.

From the moment we arrived at Design CE -Hotel de Diseño we were treated like family, not just guests. Monica, the ever smiling always helpful bilingual front desk person, not only checked us in at 10am with no additional charge also offered us complimentary espresso, cake and juice while we filled out our forms.

We originally planned to stay for only a few days and thought we would move to a different neighbourhood, but we liked the staff and the location so much we decided to extend our stay which also included late check out at no additional charge on the day we went home.

The bed, (one of the reasons we chose this hotel from previous reviews), was VERY comfortable. A true King Size with excellent linen sheets and wonderful pillows.

The bathroom was great, spacious for a boutique hotel and we loved the tub. After a day of exploring we would come relax in the tub with the jets on our feet. The water pressure for the shower was also excellent.

Complimentary continental breakfast with fresh baked pastries & made to order coffee was offered daily, this enabled us to get to know the staff and bombard them with questions which everyone was always keen to answer and help with.

We were even hugged by the staff when we left

Design CE Hotel: The Staff Are Its Best Asset

Hotel staff at boutique Design CE Hotel were very accommodating and friendly. WiFi was spotty. Breakfast was continental and limited, but just fine. The first assigned room was a front view, facing the park---sounds nice, but since on the second floor, one is in a fish bowl, so we asked for back room,view of inside buildings, but much quieter and no one peering in. Bathroom was decent size with rain shower. No closets, just small clothes rack in room and limited space to place luggage, 2 drawers. No English stations on the television. Next time would prefer to stay in hotel on east side of Blvd. Santa Fe, closer to Recoleta proper, this was on outskirts.

Centrally Located, Free WiFi, Free Breakfast!

This hotel is a centrally located gem close to all the areas we wanted to see during our 7 night stay in Buenos Aires. The price was very reasonable and the common areas are very neat, modern and tastefully decorated. Our initial flight into Buenos Aires had been cancelled, therefore I had contacted the hotel to get transportation rearranged for the new date of arrival. This was easily done. The front desk speaks great English and is easy to communicate with (in case you don't speak Spanish).

Breakfast - Consists of a variety of croissants, ham, cheese, cereals and coffee. You are able to purchase some hot items for a nominal fee but the complimentary breakfast was very good. Coffee is free, but there is also a charge for cortados/espressos. We ate here every morning and it was a great way to start off the day. The two gentlemen that attended the breakfast service were amazingly helpful, cheerful and simply awesome.

Room - The room that we had did not have a view, but was very suitable for our needs. The bathroom was very modern and simple and included some basic toiletries (hand soap/shampoo/conditioner). The only complaint I have overall about the room is the shampoo/conditioner. I highly recommend purchasing some nicer shampoo at a local drugstore or bringing your own. The tub was a Jacuzzi brand tub with a rainshower shower head. This was very nice! The water pressure was very good and hot water came out very quickly.

WiFi - Great speed, routers on each floor.

Absolutely wonderful hotel. I checked in early without a hassle, and was given an upgrade after a slight (and, to me, unnoticeable) malfunction with my plumbing. The view is spectacular and the location is quite nice too. Perhaps the best draw, though, is the staff: almost everyone is perfectly fluent in English (which is NOT the case for most of Buenos Aires) and they were extremely solicitous, asking if I needed directions anywhere or help with anything.

There was an issue with the AC, that was attended to the next day. The breakfast was simple, and could use a little bit more variety if you stay longer than 5 days. But all and all we had a good time here.

Chic hotel, great location, spartan decor.

We stayed at CE Design Hotel for one night before going to Iguazu Falls and then returned for 4 additional nights. Overall, we liked the hotel. The staff is very helpful and the beds are comfortable. It tries very hard to be hip and mostly succeeds. We absolutely loved the flexible breakfast hours.....if you got up at 3PM, there was food ready for you. That being said, the furnishings are very IKEA and looked a bit cheap in the room. The white cement floors could use an area rug to warm them up a bit. And why is it that they could not have at least one English language news show on the cable TV. Because of these reasons I rated it a 4 but with small changes it could be a great hotel.

My husband and I stayed five nights. Overall the hotel was ok and generally we enjoyed our stay as the location was great.

The bathrooms was in need of some maintenance . The spa bath was grimey and the rail in the bath was coming away from the wall.

We were also very disappointed with the dry cleaning bill. We asked the front desl staff for a menu however they just took our laundry. When we requested the menu(again) the front staff advised us not to worry and that the laundry is really cheap. When we checked out the bill for the laundry was over $100 US. For two small bags not more thsn 4kg in total. We have never paid so much

Stylish boutique hotel if you get the right room

My expectation was high on seeing hotel's photos. But the room I was given faces a cement wall of opposite building so it feels rather depressive that I have the curtain closed for the whole stay. For this price honestly I did not expect a room with absolutely no view! Room itself is kind of minimalist design. Best feature is the jacuzzi bath. Lobby and breakfast place is cosy and breakfast is rich. Those apartments on the front facing the park must be very nice if you are ready to pay more for it.

Stayed at the Design CE hotel for six days in early April 2014. The hotel is perfectly located in Recoleta, within walking distance to many cultural sites in both Recoleta and Palermo neighborhoods. For anything further away, a subway station is only a few blocks from the hotel. The front desk will also call a taxi for you whenever you need one (best bet to avoid paying a \"tourist\" fare).

The hotel facilities are what you expect from a very nice boutique location -- in this case a clean and modern design that is well maintained and comfortable. We had a plaza suite room overlooking the plaza/park in front of the hotel, with a great view. With free wifi and 24-hour breakfast (continental style) included, this hotel is a great value for the price.

Nice little hotel with a good location

Just one night, comfortable hotel, room ok, breakfast good but nothing special. Would return if the price is right again, I took a promotion in Expedia

Outstanding hotel, great value.

If I go back to Argentina, I'll stay in this hotel again without hesitation. The staff is wonderfully helpful; they provided a great breakfast, and the hotel has a funky and modern style.
I recommend it without reservation.

Would happily stay again

The only downside - my room felt a little run down, all minor things though. Everything was functional and everything else about the hotel was on the positive side. Great location - close to subte, walkable to playa del mayo, florida st, recoleta, palermo. The neighborhood itself has tons of restaurants and shopping but stays more active and safe at night than the microcentro. Hotel itself was quiet, wifi worked well, 24hr breakfast was great, staff was helpful

Almost 24 hours without water

Up until the water went off on Tuesday night we loved it! Unable to shower or use toilet from 8pm on Tuesday night so went down to enquire Wed morning. Asked to speak to the manager who was unavailable so as no information given as to when water would be reconnected we asked to be moved to another hotel. So we wasted the whole morning waiting for an answer and then packing up to find the other hotel not up to the same standard at all. At 6pm on Wednesday finally had a message from manager to call. Rang the number and got the receptionist not the manager who offered us to come back and be in a suite not that night but the next day..So we packed up yet again the next day and got yet another taxi and went back. The suite was lovely but still unhappy at the way the manager ducked her responsibility by not speaking in person to the hotel clients and giving an explanation and apology. Not good PR! And all this wasted more than a whole day of our holiday as we left early Friday morning. We feel we are entitled to a refund for the night /day without water as we even had to go out in the night to a cafe to use the toilet and could not wash/shave/etc for all that time. We look forward to hearing from you. I would also like to say that the girls on reception were very nice but it was really up to the manager to show her face and not leave the receptionists to handle the unhappy clients.

Good hotel great location

Hotel staff excellent, extremely helpful. All spoke English very well. Room very clean and bright. Had room just above entrance facing park. Windows are soundproof so had good sleep (pleasantly surprised by that). Internet worked very well in our room as well as in café area on main floor. Small fridge in room also very useful. Style of hotel and rooms is concrete with chrome and glass, not our preferred style but was clean. Breakfast each morning was good with granola, pastry, bread, ham and cheese. Grocery store nearby also useful. Went walking to cemetery, port area, Florida street - had no problems but we were aware of our belongings and did not wear jewelry or dress flashy, and kept to busy streets. Went to a tango show which had a dance lesson prior to the dinner and show, was a wonderful experience to do and highly recommend. Also did hoho bus, was okay to see city this way but the description sound track needs some reworking.
