But overall is a great deal, large room, modern and walking distance to Puerto Madero, San Telmo fair and Casa Rosada. Avoid if you need amenities of hotel, it is just an apartment. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 22, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### perfect apartment! It is located 10min drive from retiro, centro area. 30~35 peso for taxi. I even walked from centro to the apartment, it is not that far as it seemed in map. Next to the apartment, there is supermarket. Room is spacious and very clean. 10min walk to trendy puerto madero street. I don't recommend walking around here at night. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Juan, San Telmo Sep 18, 2013 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Apart nuevo Estuvimos cómodos. Los dptos son nuevos y eso los hace un muy buen lugar para acomodarse. En San Telmo, cerca de la plaza Dorrego ##### Juan ### 6/10 Okay #### Esther p., Ecuador Sep 7, 2013 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### cocina sin funcionar Lo feo fue es que la secadora de cabello nunca funcionó, la cocina igual , estas novedades fueron indicadas al hotel, pero no pusieron atención . ##### Esther p. ### 8/10 Good #### Hernan, Mar del Plata Jul 9, 2013 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### nuevo pero sin decorado buena ##### Hernan ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick, Chile Jun 20, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Incredible Room For The Price Though some might tell you that BA's San Telmo neighborhood is dodgy or the least friendly to stay in, let me reassure you. The Defensa Suites came as an incredible surprise for the money, and allowed me to really see the charm and character that San Telmo has to offer. Located right on Defensa, the Sunday flea market is just out the door. The apart/hotel itself is nicely appointed, beautifully decorated and a STEAL for the price. The room was the size of a 1-bedroom apartment and even had a balcony. The heater worked well, the bed was super comfortable and the couch was huge. There are great restaurants with a block in any direction from the hotel, and Defensa is lined with things to do. Needless to say, I will not stay anywhere else when I return to Buenos Aires. This is the only destination I need! ##### Patrick ### 6/10 Okay #### Ana, Brasil Jun 16, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Excelente custo-beneficio não se pode pensar que é um hotel, e sim um apart com quartos, porém excelentes quanto ao conforto, espaço, tudo novo e funcionando. Excelente custo beneficio. Na esquina tem um carrefour express, freddo sorveteria, starbucks para tomar café, havana para comprar alfajor, taxi,onibus, perto do centro, são 07 quadras para chegar na Casa Rosada, etc. Restaurantes excelentes , de aparencia muito simples, porém de uma comida super gostosa e barata! Porém o lugar é perigoso e não se deve sair a pé ou sózinha a noite! Mas vale muito a penaaaaaa! ##### Ana ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marisel, Santa fe May 13, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hola: estuvo todo impecable!!!! ##### Marisel ### 8/10 Good #### Takeesha, Kennesaw, GA Mar 1, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Trip have Brazilian Carnival The hotel is more of an apartment style hotel. I will say, no one spoke english while I was there so I had to use my very rusty spanish to try and get by. The neighorhood was walking distance to several restaurants, museums, and the merchant festival they have every Sunday(much recommended). As a single female traveling alone, I felt very safe. The only issue I had was the electricity went out one morning, and when I returned to my room later that evening, it still wasn't working. The security guard on duty was very friendly, gave me a new room that was much bigger and helped me move my belongings. When the electricity went out in the evening, I did notice the whole neighborhood was out as well. Yes it went out 2x's. I was ok with this as I've visited other countries and this has happened. Some expectations of traveling abroad!!! The customer was great and the hotel was very clean, comforatable, and close to everything. I'd recommend!!! ##### Takeesha ### 4/10 Poor #### Butch Feb 22, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not up to expected standards Hotel was under construction and not completely ready for guests. The only person in the lobby was the guard at the front desk and he did not speak or understand English. There was no hot water. Staff did not respond to requests. WiFi did not work in the room. Construction noise kept us awake. Room was not set up with basic cooking utensils or linens. ##### Butch ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 17, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Very good great location great staff happy with the stay and would go again ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Burntwood Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thompson-Hotels-Burntwood-Hotel.h871512.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Niagara Falls/Fallsview Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Hilton-Niagara-FallsFallsview-Hotel-Suites.h463153.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Buenos-Aires.h13480.Hotel-Information) > > [Econo Lodge Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Inn-Suites.h84301.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Prince Edward Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Prince-Edward-Island-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d6058122-tGolfHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Palladio Hotel Buenos Aires - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires-Hotels-Palladio-Hotel-Buenos-Aires-MGallery.h30073367.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Times Hotel Sherbrooke](https://www.expedia.ca/Sherbrooke-Hotels-Grand-Times-Hotel-Sherbrooke.h3604686.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Buenos Aires Recoleta](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires-Hotels-Sofitel-Buenos-Aires-Recoleta.h438433.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lachute](https://www.expedia.ca/Lachute-Hotels.d181948.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Palacio Duhau - Park Hyatt Buenos Aires](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires-Hotels-Palacio-Duhau-Park-Hyatt-Buenos-Aires.h1339890.Hotel-Information) > > [Excellence Playa Mujeres - Adults Only All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Excellence-Playa-Mujeres-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h1672497.Hotel-Information) > > [Fierro Hotel Buenos Aires](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires-Hotels-Fierro-Hotel-Buenos-Aires.h3883785.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bali](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bali.d602651.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels-Chicago-Marriott-Downtown-Magnificent-Mile.h18035.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Buenos Aires](https://www.expedia.ca/Buenos-Aires-Hotels-Hilton-Buenos-Aires.h546934.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Zipolite](https://www.expedia.ca/Zipolite-Hotels.d6299491.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Quality Inn & Suites Victoriaville](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoriaville-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites-Victoriaville.h4758642.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air Transat](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Transat-Flights.cTS.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/ist/kelowna-to-istanbul) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Grande Prairie (YQU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yqu/calgary-to-grande-prairie) > > [Korean Air](https://www.expedia.ca/Korean-Air-Flights.cKE.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lax/montreal-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Bali (BLC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/blc/toronto-to-bali) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/mnl/edmonton-to-manila) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/mco/hamilton-to-orlando) > > [Air Canada Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-vancouver-intl-to-pearson-intl/ac/yvr/yyz) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Blaine](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Blaine.d6456.Car-Rental-Guide)
