6. Location & Accessibility
San Isidro Plaza enjoys an "unbeatable" location in the heart of San Isidro's historical district, known for its wealthy and exclusive residential atmosphere. It is literally steps away from the iconic San Isidro Cathedral and Mitre Square, and close to numerous shops, exclusive restaurants, and cafes. The hotel's proximity to public transportation is a significant advantage, with San Isidro C Station and San Isidro R Station both an 8-minute walk away, providing easy access to Buenos Aires city center. The neighborhood is considered safe, and nearby attractions include the San Isidro Hippodrome, Bosque Alegre Nature Preserve, and Museo Lucy Mattos. The hotel offers an airport drop-off service and an area shuttle (for a surcharge) for convenient transportation.
7. Value & Pricing
While some guests perceive the hotel as being on the slightly more expensive side, the general consensus is that it offers excellent value for the cost, given its amenities, service, and prime location. A 1-night stay for two adults can typically range from approximately $142 to $172.8, though prices are subject to change based on booking dates and room type. The inclusion of free continental breakfast, free WiFi, and free self-parking significantly enhances its value proposition.
8. Common Complaints
While overwhelmingly positive, some minor points of feedback have been noted by guests. An older review mentioned potential difficulty with air conditioning settings, which were sometimes adjusted to a cold setting by housekeepers. Additionally, some guests found the on-site parking garage to be small and potentially difficult to maneuver, suggesting it's advisable to inquire about parking arrangements in advance due to potential challenges with street parking. (Note: Older reviews for other hotels, which appeared in broader searches, mentioned issues like noisy rooms or extra charges for gym/sauna access. These are not applicable to San Isidro Plaza, where the health club and sauna are noted amenities without extra charge.)
