Design cE Hotel Boutique de Diseño

Best hotel in Buenos Aires! And I tried many! Location is exceptional, great accommodations in the lobby if you need to work or take meetings, great breakfast and the team is super attentive. Special thanks to MIGUEL who last minute saved me with a problem I had with my luggage. I will be back. Thanks!

Hotel rooms very tired, very dated and very basic- feels more like a youth hostel type of room. Room had large window overlooking a park and view marred with construction site and row of bright orange bike parking stalls-not picturesque like in the photos. Only Sheer White Curtains and when Sun came up room flooded with morning light- very early morning risers kinda thing (no blackout curtains). Only 1 dim overhead light fixture in the room. Bathroom very updated with an antiqued jet tub and old wall hair dryer. Website photos misrepresent the hotel and talked to 2 guests staying in room next door and they said the same- not pleased & photos off. Morning breakfast was very basic contientail. Breakfast area seemed like a college dorm envirnonment with computer station to sit at with a couple tables available. The original room booked was considered courtyard view and truly depressing of buildings with trashy junk. Location is good and staff friendly (though Emily wanted to charge $100 night to upgrade to a park view to move from a ugly courtyard view room- finally moved to a small view room with $35 night upcharge. After we checked out moved to another hotel that was so superior better and at the same rate (NH Collection Crillon)- a real 4 star hotel. Would rate Design cE as 2 star. Disappointing!

This hotel did not fulfill my expectations at all. First of all it definitely isn’t a 4 star hotel. If luxury is what you are looking for, steer away from this hotel. The rooms are tiny, and in need of major Renos, the floors are totally stained and scratched, the mattress stained, the curtains stained, the bathroom looked old and tired. It definitely isn’t in par with a 4 star hotel, maybe a 2 star at the most. Don’t be fooled by the fotos on Google, they are taken of the most expensive room, not the normal ones you are given. The view is misleading too, as most rooms will have the view of a wall on the backside of the building. The most annoying part is that you can hear everything from all the nearby rooms, people coughing, flushing the toilet, walking in their rooms etc. Conclusion is that we are really disappointed with the hotel, with the same price you can get tons of other better options. I would definitely not return and don’t recommend anyone here.
