248 Finisterra

We really enjoyed this hotel on our 7 day trip to Buenas Aires. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and our room was ready…that surely made us happy. We went up to our room…fyi, only stairs at this and most hotels we stayed in so just be aware. Room was small but had everything we needed. Comfortable. Location is good, close to train and buses. My husband got his air conditioning. Bathroom was clean and serviced well. Place is cute but we never hung around much, we were always doing something. Personally I thought it was a bit out of the way but the area is nice, feels safe and is comfortable. Money exchange is a block away. I would stay here again. Comfortable beds for us even with our bad backs.

We really liked this hotel. The staff is super nice and that made a great experience for us. Please note if you are handicapped there is no elevator and quite a bit of stairs to navigate. The hotel is small and clean and in an area with quite a few restaurants although we really didn’t eat around the hotel much. Room was cleaned daily although we did not have our towels changed daily per our request. I cannot think of anything negative to say. Mosquitos made it impossible to enjoy the jacuzzi and the subway station was down for repairs however that is not the fault of the hotels so just check on the subway close to the hotel before you go, think it is back running in April or May. Loved the staff, very kind.

We stayed here twice and both stays were superb. Great location right next to a lot of restaurants, easy to pick up taxis and great for getting about. Our room was excellent - really comfy bed and pillows. The staff made it - all of them without exception, super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend it and will stay here when next in BA

This is about the 4th time I’ve stayed at this hotel. It is a small hotel that is convenient to a variety of great restaurants and shops. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It feels like home!

Very nice hotel, comfortable rooms, very nice living room to rest, as if you were in your own home. My daughter and her friend went to sleep late and although they got up after breakfast time, they prepared them breakfast all the same! Loved the gesture!

Lovely location to explore the city. Wonderful staff and lovely hotel

When I booked online for Hotel Finisterra in Buenos Aires, the website stated it had “one room left.” It didn’t say where this room was located, but I discovered it was on the second floor, directly over-looking the street. After five nights at Hotel Finisterra, I cannot state emphatically enough that - unless you are completely immune to excessively loud street noise - do not book any rooms at this hotel that face the street. Otherwise, you will be kept up until 4am every morning.

After five nights at Hotel Finisterra, I cannot state emphatically enough that - unless you are completely immune to excessively loud street noise - do not book any rooms at this hotel that face the street. Otherwise, you will be kept up until 4am every morning. Specifically, there is an Italian restaurant next door to the hotel that begins blasting dance music around 10am (I guess that’s when the kitchen starts prepping) and you’ll hear it very clearly. By mid-afternoon there’ll be a slight reprieve – just lots of shouting and laughter and truck deliveries – until around 8pm, when the real orchestral cacophony begins. This restaurant plays both recorded and live music – all of which throbs directly into your hotel bed – until 12:30am or so, when it switches to drunken shouting, cars honking, more delivery trucks parked outside your window with their engines idling, shouting again, furniture getting moved across the floor (this will really shake your bed), continued car doors slamming, then finally the kitchen staff leaving, many of whom are - as I was to hear/learn – frequently drunk themselves, and like standing outside shouting, smoking, and laughing with one-another until close to 4am. After the first night of this experience, I came down to the hotel’s dining lounge feeling very tired, but was greeted by an extremely friendly kitchen/cleaning staff who prepared a truly impressive breakfast selection: fruits, cereals, bruschetta, pastries, breads, eggs, juices, and very decent coffee. As much as I wanted to ground myself from the previous night’s noise and simply enjoy my breakfast experience, it proved challenging to do so, for the hotel plays music to “enhance” your dining enjoyment; not an uncommon practice - but what they play and how loudly they play it – is not common. To be specific again, the music was obtrusively loud, and on this first morning I was greeted with Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun, followed by Van Halen’s Jump, then some sort of British techno-pop thing lots of heavy, computerized drumbeats, to David Lee Roth “singing” California Girls. And yes – I do remember the exact order of songs – because it was so obtrusive and genuinely awful in its selection that it’s been burned into my memory and I can’t unhear it. But after having to endure David Lee Roth, I’d finally had enough and asked the gentleman from the front desk (he had come into the lounge area) if he wouldn’t mind turning down the music. The first time I asked, he looked annoyed and replied loudly with “Huh?” to which I repeated I’d like to have the music turned down, to which he then asked, “Huh? You want the music turned off?” – and so I simply nodded “yes.” This caused another annoyed look, but he did indeed turn off

We had such a wonderful experience at this hotel. It’s in a great location with loads of restaurants on the block. Very clean and comfy and includes a fresh breakfast every morning with a nice variety of options, plus they put out some light snack in the afternoon. Best of all, the staff treated us like family and even upgraded our room for us! Highly recommend staying here.
