Welcome to my hotel review at Buenos Aires!
The entrance to the hotel
Introduction
Initially I booked an apartment on Booking.com for a place near the airport but after going through my trip with a week left, I was wondering should I stay in a more comfortable place instead and after reading some of the comments on the original location, I decided to cancel it and instead move to a hotel. After a brief search on the internet, I found this one and it was quite highly rated by the foreigners. Although the price was 3 times the price of my original booking, I prefer comfort at this point and went ahead to book this hotel. So without further ado, let me explain to you why I was glad I picked this hotel. Let's get started!
Location of the hotel
The car ride to the hotel from the EZE Airport is around 10-15 minutes depending on traffic condition.
The address to the hotel is Avenida Mariano Castex 1277, 1804 Ezeiza, Argentina.
Contact number: +54112069-3205

I booked the Executive Room and paid about US$140 for the one night stay.

The room includes a mini kitchen with the basin and a fridge.
I enjoyed this spacious layout.

The toilet
There is certainly enough room for 2 persons.
The shower control is easy to use and I was able to enjoy the warm water within seconds from the shower head.

How does the outside of the hotel looks like?
This leds to a small garden outside the shopping mall.
This is part of the shopping mall where there are shops around.
This is the exit of the mall and where my ride dropped me off.
There are restaurants around but unfortunately most of them were closed at around 6 pm during the Christmas period.
This is the road located outside the hotel.

My thoughts
I think this is a great place to stay especially if one wishes to stay near the EZE airport before the day of departure. The city area of Buenos Aires to the EZE airport is around 35km and that can be quite far and expensive on the taxi/Uber fare. The hotel is located besides the shopping mall and if the shops are operating in their regular day, there are plenty to check out and a good number of restaurants to check out, you don't have to walk far for it and on the main road, it is relatively safe to walk and check out other shopping malls.
For the room, it may not be the newest out there but it has the basic amenities and the comfortable bed allowed me to gain some good rest before my long flight to Europe the following day. Although I had to deal with most restaurants closed for the day, I managed to find dinner and thankful for the complimentary breakfast to fuel my day with a decent meal before heading to the airport.
I certainly recommend this hotel especially if you have an overnight layover at EZE airport to connect to other cities and would prefer to stay outside of the airport.
Hope you enjoy this hotel review.
Thanks for reading and have a good one!
