La Perla Hotel

Small rooms, you couldn't open the closet because it was close to the bed. It has a garage. The bathroom has a poor layout, which makes it uncomfortable to use, a toilet attached to the wall, a very small rain shower and a lot of unusable space. Basic breakfast.

Upon arrival my partner and I were given a twin share room dispite booking a King room. (This is a common occurance for the traveling LGBTI couple, equally as insulting as it is frustrating. But at the end of the day if I pay for something thats what I expect.) The room itself was dirty, and the non-smoking room seemed to have a constant stream of cigarette smoke comming through the air conditioning ducts. I had trouble sleeping due to the smoke and all my belongings stunk like cigarettes untill I could get to a laudromat to wash them all. I also had a horribly sore throat for the next week. Just gross. Staff were not overly helpfull to the point of reluctantly hading over the Wifi password and we couldn't find the so called breakfast in the morning.

Pros: Very clean hotel, good breakfast, next to a subway stop. Cons: Dirty, loud and busy neighbourhood, unhelpful staff, noisy location. Very modern, clean and in good condition for BA standards. We didn't speak great spanish and found the staff couldn't give us the time of day. Absolutely hated the direct neighbourhood its in. The streets were continually packed with street vendors selling crap and you couldn't even walk through them. People would just go to the toilet in front of you, we even got spat on. Did not feel safe going out at night by myself. However, if you like buying stuff and he hustle and bustle is your thing, then stay here! We got one of the front rooms over the Jujuy Av and it was ridiculously noisy. This place is very much no fuss, simple, basic chain hotel style. Half way through our stay we moved to a boutique hotel in San Nicolas, and it completely changed our view of BA. The place was the opposite - a charming old building, wonderful architecture, staff that went beyond and a beautiful, safe quiet neighbourhood - for only a litle bit extra $
