We discovered Casa Umare for our stay in Buenos Aires through Travelocity. It is Located about a 15-minute drive out of center city- it is easy to uber/taxi to numerous tourist attractions however it is important to note that you are not in walking distance.
The Pro’s from our stay:
• Rooms: Spacious, beautiful details
• Air conditioning, water pressure, toiletries and hair dryer, kitchen
• In-room breakfasts were great for lazy mornings in with coffee service and an assortment of croissants and toasts with a variety of marmalades.
The Con’s
• After 24 hours of travel from the US we arrived to find that the hotel system had somehow marked us as cancelled - while our Travelocity account said our reservation was active. Fortunately, there were rooms available, and we were still able to stay – however- we recommend calling the hotel prior to visiting to make sure your reservation is active.
• Café/Restaurant no longer in service
• Rooftop lounge/pool under renovation and no longer in service
Overall, we had a very nice stay and the price was great. The space was beautiful and offered a great deal of charm. While it was disappointing that the pool and restaurant were no longer in service- it would have been beneficial for to have an updated advertisement as it may influence other’s decision to stay at casa Umare in the future. It is an important takeaway that you will have to rely on uber/taxis to see the sights.
