Great location
13 Aug 2025
I stayed for 5 days at the Rochester Classic in Buenos Aires, in a double room that seemed to be part of the hotel’s renovated wing. The location is excellent: it’s on a quiet street in the city center, almost directly across from Lavalle Station.The room was a decent size but felt rather unwelcoming: no rug or additional furniture, just a bed and a wardrobe. The biggest downside was the bathroom:… I stayed for 5 days at the Rochester Classic in Buenos Aires, in a double room that seemed to be part of the hotel’s renovated wing.

Decent hotel, but not 4 stars
13 Apr 2025
I'd put this hotel at 3 stars, not 4. I stayed here for 1 night. The area the hotel is in is not the best, it's extremely touristy. Check in was smooth. The lifts at this hotel are extremely small, there was only enough room for me and my suitcase.My room was acceptable, a bit dated but fine. I only booked a standard room, I don't know if I was upgraded or not but my room ended up being very large… I'd put this hotel at 3 stars, not 4. I stayed here for 1 night.

worst hotel I've stayed in for 30 years
27 Feb 2019
I'll start with the good bits. The hotel reception is bright and modern, with mainly bi-lingual staff, good security (needed) and nice breakfast room with nice breakfast.Now deep breath, the bad:The hotel is situated in calle Esmerelda, very central but very sleazy with a sex shop on one corner and homeless people sleeping in the next doorway. This doesn't particularly faze me as I work nights in… I'll start with the good bits.
