Centuria Hotel Buenos Aires

Well, the breakfast was OK. The WiFi reception is bad! Only good at the lobby. The location is good and will serve you well for exploring the city. Over all was ok it I will not come back here. I rather be in a place with better breakfast and WiFi. I don’t mind walking..

Very "traditional" hotel, withh spacious rooms, a good range of food offer at breakfast, baggage room etc. Nothing impressive but a very professional offer on the overall. The rooms need a bit of maintenance, especially the bathrooms (also the toiletries are a bit limited) but the overall impression is positive. The position is very centric. WiFi connection has been perfect.

This was our first hotel we stayed out of 6 in Brazil and Argentina. It was also the worst. We arrived at 1100 hrs after a 14 hour flight to say no check in before 1400. Came back at 1400 and our room had a soaking carpet outside the bathroom but no obvious sign of why. Went to reception who said They would send someone in 5 minutes. An hour later went to reception again to be told 5 minutes. At the third time of asking and two hours later we asked for a change of room. In some ways I wished we’d stayed in the damp carpet room. The next room was smaller, and a front door that took many attempts to lock. The bathroom was disgustingly old and stained. We had two nights in this hotel and demanded to our travel agent to find us another hotel when we returned to BA 3 days later. Reception staff were the worst of the six hotels we used. The only saving grace is it’s location which is great for restaurants. Would not recommend this

I'd booked the Centuria Hotel mainly for its central location and reasonable pricing. I was staying four nights before returning to the UK. The location was only spoiled by the fact that the street outside was a favoured location for homeless, and there were very many sprawled out over the footpath all night, and with some throughout the day too. After a fairly quick, slightly impersonal, check-in, I found the room was in a quiet courtyard at first floor level. On entry via the key card I noted the room smelled a bit musty. Also, I was not impressed at first sight re décor, and mainly by security being compromised by a wooden framed sliding window into the courtyard which was unable to be locked, so a 5 yr old could break in. I therefore constantly had to use the safe for the laptop and everything. The bed was ok, and there was good WiFi, although the electrics were a bit dodgy, with visible wires in the awful and poorly lit bathroom, only one working electrical socket in the room, which meant you couldn't charge your devices and watch TV at the same time, but that didn't matter, as there were only Spanish speaking channels. The sheets and towels, which were clean, pretty much all seemed to have holes in them. The breakfast buffet was as basic as could be with the cheapest of everything, including bitter coffee, so a major fail here. I have to assume that they have better rooms, or it wouldn't have got better reviews, but even at budget prices they shouldn't offer rooms in this state.

I came here for a two week stay and by my second day I instantly regretted booking for that long. This hotel was an awful first impression of Buenos Aires. First of all the staff at the reception were so unhelpful and basically rude and were an awful representation of the Argentine people, I learned that not everyone was like those behind the desk. I never came across the likes of it. The first night I arrived I was looking for water and the man at the reception laughed at me and said he did not have water while looking in his jacket. (There was a bar right next to the reception). My room card had to be recharged nearly every day. I felt dirty in the room and bathroom. The roof of my bathroom had holes in it and I could see outside and there were wires and everything. (I was staying in one of the patio rooms). My towels had marks and more holes. The doors didn’t feel very secure. The gym was like something from the eighties. For some reason the tv would turn on at 8am every morning full blast, I thought I was being haunted. Literally the worst hotel I ever stayed in.
