The first and most important thing to know is that this is a legit reservation. I was worried because I contacted the hotel after booking on Airbnb and they did not have my reservation, but eventually they did. Apparently Rub has a deal where he offers their rooms for around 70% off their regular price, which is awesome.
There are reasons why it was so cheap though. The reason I chose this place was for the gym and the pool, but upon arrival I was told that they are only open between 11am-9pm. I don’t know anybody who works out between those times. So basically the gym is just for photos. The pool is also for pictures only. I went to go see it when I happened to be in between 11-9 and it is tiny tiny. I can only imagine that a two year old would get bored in a few minutes. So those were a total loss.
Also the bathroom situation was not good. It is a decent size, but poorly laid out. So when sitting on the toilet your knees are under the counter and you’re kind-of squished against the wall. Also the bathtub is unusually narrow and with a moldy shower curtain, so whenever I was in the shower I had the nasty shower curtain stuck to my body. Plenty of room for the bedet though.
Finally I was cold all of the time. It was 55°F outside and only the air conditioning worked. (This seems to be an Argentinian thing because everywhere I went the AC was on full blast.) So my nose was an icicle whenever I was in the room. Turning the heat on high only brought more cold air.
And my room definitely was not the pretty one in the picture.
All of that said, it was still okay. It was clean. The breakfast was good. The location awesome. And the price great. The staff at the front desk was also super friendly. If they renovated their bathrooms, fixed the heater, and changed the hours on the gym, this would actually be a really nice place—well worth 3x what I paid.
