Puerto Mercado Hotel

The location is in an area considered less safe by the locals, but is near all the government buildings and lawyers or notaries. It is at the busier end of the road called 'Cerrito'. Supermarkets and shops are on the doorstep.

It was clean and economical, and close to the ferry terminal for easy access. It is also within walking distance of the main Indepenance square and has good bus connection to the rest of the city and the beaches.

The hotel itself is a nice hotel with all you need. The room is comfortable and quiet. I slept great. Staff is curtious and helpfull. Breakfast good. The good thing about the location is that it's just 200 meters from the ferry terminal from Buenos Aires.

We initially chose this hotel due to its perfect location - walking distance from the port, since we travelled by ferry, and fast internet. The internet speed was excellent, no interruptions. WiFi worked really well in our room as well as in the lobby. Upload speed was more than 40 mbps and download exceeding 30 mbps - webinars and video conferences worked really smoothly. The room was very comfortable, the view was enjoyable - we saw the rooftops and some ferries in the distance - thus we were able to do some shipspotting. We adored the fountain in the small garden - it helped us fall asleep and calmed us. In the morning, we were greeted by some beautiful birds, but they were quiet. TV has a large selection of channels, even English speaking ones. Breakfasts were absolutely fantastic! Every time there was a new element, the variety was incredible. We would like to thank the team for their hard work! There have always been plenty of wonderful fresh delicious treats that kept us full until evening. Moreover, there was a supermarket "Frog" just 10 meters from the hotel that accepted both dollars and pesos where we also found some tasty food. All hotel staff were very friendly to us - the gentlemen at the reception helped us a lot and the ladies who were administering the cafeteria and exceptional cleanliness in the hotel were very hospitable towards us. We will definitely stay here again!
