Park Plaza Unique Hotel - Buenos Aires -34.59053, -58.38535

The Park Plaza Unique was a nice small hotel in an upmarket safe location. My room was good, though the bathroom was small with little storage. Staff members were friendly enough but not overly helpful. Internet wnet down after one day and their attitude was 'well it's broken' no interest in getting it fixed quickly. There was supposed to be room service but when I looked for dinner one evening no one answered my call, I went down to the restaurant myself to find it closed..it was 8pm...well within its supposed opening hours. The hotel is in walking distance to many attractions but taxis are very cheap and readily available. I would stay at the hotel again if I received a very good rate but in all honesty I would probably suggest looking at other options.

Best location in BA-

I asked for a non-smoking room, and I got a room that had clearly been smoked in for a long time, and there was an ash tray in it. I asked to be switched, and he said that they were out of non-smoking rooms. The bed was super squishy, my back was sore after sleeping there...

The front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was good sized but the bath rooms are small and without counter space (we used the counter of the wetbar across the entry hall from the bathroom for our personal items). Forget the promotion for the included tango show: it is at a lesser-known theater in La Boca (across the city, and you must provide your own transportation). The front desk will suggest other shows with better offerings (including transportation) that are much closer.

Nice Area

This was my second stay at this hotel. The rooms aren't the most modern, special the bathrooms, and the noise from the hall invades your space. Nonetheless, the location on Alvear Avenue is can't be beat. The reception staff is extremely nice - but they put your credit card info at check-in on one of the old-fashioned multiple forms, and they unfortunately gave mine to another guest, by mistake, at their checkout. I've had to cancel my card and all that this entails. Just an unfortunate mistake, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Staff is outstanding, first and foremost. Rooms are impecably maintained and very comfortable. Location really can't get any better either, within walking distance of everything. Will definitely recommend and stay again.

Very well appointed hotel, in a great part of town, Recoleta. The trappings were beautiful and my stay was extremely pleasant. I would have liked more free internet access.

Limited facilities but good location

The location, the type of European hotel, and the personnel were outstanding.

Service was great. Attentive staff, very willing to help with local travel and sightseeing arrangements. The room was comfortably furnished, although the desk was much too small. The bed and couch were comfortable. The room was clean and well maintained, and housekeeping came twice a day (morning cleaning and evening turn-down) to tidy everything up and replenish supplies. I was quite satisfied with the hotel, which provided great value for the money and was in a very nice neighborhood as well. My only big complaints are the high charge for Internet ($14 for 24 hours, charged per computer and not per room), the low connection speed considering how high the price was, and the small, old-fashioned elevators which are very crowded and also cease to function when any door is left open (elevator doors on every floor must be manually opened and closed).

even though we only stayed one night we were thoroughly impressed with the front desk staff. They all spoke fluent English and were very helpful with all our needs. My only issue was the fact that they did not include a free breakfast like the rest of the hotels that we stayed at in Argentina but aside from that it was a pleasant experience.

Everything is great about this hotel except the room was small and the bathroom was really small. The service was terrific. The location perfect. Overall, the experience was great.

I stayed for four days in Park Plaza hotel. It was a great experience. The location of the hotel is perfect. It is close to everything that is worth seeing. The best part was the hotel staff. Really good people who will guide you to places that will match your taste. I strongly recommend this hotel to everyone.

great location needed to change room 3 times air not working &very noisy first 2 rooms third day room very comfortable

THE HOTEL PERSONNEL WERE COURTEOUS AND MORE THAN HELPFUL. THE ROOM WAS COMFORTABLE. THE SHOWER WAS POWERFUL. THE BREAKFAST WAS DELICIOUS AND MORE THAN ENOUGH.---I WOULD STAY THER AGAIN.

This is a small, intimate lovely hotel located in a quiet yet convenient neighborhood. The staff was so attentive and helpful, the rooms were beautifully decorated, I would definitely stay here anytime I go back to BA.

The Park Plaza exceeded our expectations. Staff spoke English and were very helpful. Outstanding location, easy walk to shops, restaurants, Eva Peron's cemetery. Nice complimentary breakfast. We'd definitely go back.

This hotel had European charm in the lovely Recoleta district. Our room was comfortable and well-maintained. We could walk to a number of attractions. The hotel staff made good recommendations for dinner and a bus tour (though it was longer than expected, and we had to leave the tour early for another appointment). Be sure you take your receipt with you; we had prepaid for breakfast, and the hotel staff did not know this. The elevators were slow, but usually available quickly.

I loved this hotel. The staff was fabulous. Concierge services were warm, friendly, and most helpful. The breakfast buffet was good and in need of some fresh fruit. Location was excellent...3 blocks from Ave Alvear. I would definitly stay again as I enjoyed the small boutique atmosphere and warm staff.

Hotels.com website listed this hotel as a "european plan" which typically includes breakfast included in the total price of the hotel. The hotel staff informed us at Check In that breakfast was not included, even though it was served in the lobby. We did not eat breakfast at the hotel, it was an additional $10 USD for breakfast daily for each person. WE were very disappointed since our plan was to eat at the hotel. The staff was very uncooperative regarding the breakfast and any other requests we had during our stay. The shutter at the window did not work half way through the stay and it was inoperable and stuck half open, allowing no light into the room. Although the staff fixed it once and merely propped it on wood stakes, they never showed up to fix it the second time after the cleaning staff took the wood stakes down and the shutter closed once again.

Good for the price!Small hotel, small rooms, but good location and good and friendly service.

Great location in a safe neighborhood within walking distance to a number of key sights. Staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. Definitely would recommend this hotel.

This hotel is located in a very Parisian-inspired part of Buenos Aires (Recoleta) and we found the location very convenient. The hotel is a bit cramped (small lobby, small bar/dining area). The staff was very responsive and friendly.

Chose hotel for location close to domestic airport; was much further than provided on hotels.com site. Also, there were no normal pillows on the bed - only decorative throw pillows (which are not comfortable to sleep upon). Rest of hotel was very nice and staff pleasant. Likely a good hotel for long term stay, but not for one quick night between flights.

spent two weeks at this hotel. the staff is excellent and extremely helpful. Yes - the rooms need upgrading however for the price and the location you can't beat it. I'd definately stay here again.

The staff was simply outstanding. They were all consistently helpful and friendly, even with a gringo who struggle with the language. The only negative ting I have to say is that the walls are thin and it can be a bit noisy when trying to sleep, even when other guests are behaving normally.

My girlfriend and I spent 10 days in the Hotel to enjoy our vacation in the beautiful city of Buenos Aires. We found the location excellent not just for its proximity to the Recoleta area, but to all the major monuments, fantastic restaurants, and tourist destinations nearby. The staff is very attentive and will make great restaurant and entertainment recommendations if asked. Be mindful that the prices do switch between dollar and pesos quite often, and making international calls using the hotel telephone is very expensive, even if less than a few minutes as in our case. Overall, the Kempinski made our trip on of the best and would definately recomend it.

Staff is very pleasant. Breakfast is included but was completely self service with no waiter in sight for special needs - unless you went looking. Internet is available but at exorbitant rates. Could hear neighbors! Overall - a good hotel in a good location.

Very friendly and helpfull staff overcome any shortcomings of the hotel

Expensive for what you get and not in a very good neighborhood. Staff was very nice, room was clean but nothing special.

The staff was very accommodating and the premises were very clean. The only complaints that I have about this hotel are as follows: 1)the hotel does not provide guests with irons or ironing boards; 2) the restaurant menu is extremely limited, and 3) the hotel is located in an upscale residential area and very few restaurants are within walking distance.

Nice hotel, centrally located in Buenos Aires. Only knock was that our room was over the street and was a bit noisy, but other than that it was very nice. Free internet and continental breakfast. Staff was pleasant and spoke english and can help with reservations for just about anything from tango shows, to long term trips to Iguazu falls.

SMALL, QUAINT, GREAT LOCATION....

the hotel was up to more than standard for the price paid for the room. The best part of our stay was the service provided at the front desk as three Yank tourists discovered Buenos Aires. their help for drivers, resturants etc was invaluable.

Good, small hotel. Well located. Clean but smaller room. "Average to good" value.

Second time to stay at this hotel. We will probably stay here for our annual visits to B.A. Clean, elegant, great location, great hotel staff. Very accommodating. Only negatives are the elevators (rather slow and only one to the 8th flr) and the eggs at breakfast... always cold. Highly recommended.

The service at the Kempenski was top notch, and the room and hotel were awesome. Also, it's in such a great location in Recoleta. I would highly, highly recommend this hotel, especially for the price!

I had a nice stay at the hotel, Everything was really good. Thank you.
