SOL DE PIEDRA – Apart, Suites & Spa — Hotel in Municipio de Córdoba

This hotel has rooms with little kitchen/dining/sitting areas and we chose it because Cordoba's hotels seemed to be either rather average looking places at huge prices, or really crummy. This was one of a few in the middle. At 660 pesos per night for the room and breakfast (in April 2013 - Argetina has crazy inflation so this may change and most hotels don't seem to advertise their rates on their websites so you generally have to ask) we got a decent place in a good location in the studenty area of town, a short walk from the centre.||||The hotel is modern and the decor won't be to everyone's taste (certainly not mine - it's completely soulless) and the rooms are small with minimal storage space but it's perfectly clean and hte rooms are mae up daily. You can request clean towels when you want them, or be eco friendly and re-use. The kitchen is basic - just two hobs, a microwave, a small fridge (with minibar contents) and minimal equipment (2 forks/knives/spoons/teaspoons, one ineffective tin opener, a kettle, and one saucepan). You wouldn't really want to cook here, but if you're just heating something up or eating something cold it's fine.||||The bed was quite small, but comfortable, and the little balcony was quite nice in the evenings, not so much to sit out on as it faces the road, but to hang over the edge and watch people going by.||||Breakfast was fairly grim: crummy toast and pastries, squash rather than juice, tinned fruit salad, and the kind of processed ham and cheese you find everywhere in Argentina. My husband is celiac and they managed to produce rice cakes for him which was helpful if not brilliant.||||One of the reception team spoke good English and was very helpful in organizing a day trip to the Jesuit estancias for us. The others spoke no English and we had a problem on our last day when we needed to telephone our next hotel just before leaving, and there was no one who spoke English on duty to help us. Don't assume people in Argentina speak anything other than Spansih. Most of them...

A group of us booked 5 Rooms for 5 nights. Rooms were advertised as having an in room spa on a private balcony, and jetted tub. This was definitely reflected in the price we paid per night. When we arrived, we were told that no such rooms existed in the hotel and the only Spa was on the roof. Front desk told me this had happened before. We were tired, so we checked in and stayed the night. The walls and windows were so thin, we heard everything. Bed was horrible, room was small. The next morning we told them we were leaving, because the room was not as advertised and sleeping there was too difficult. We were told that we had to pay the full amount. After telling them no, we were told the owner was going to come by and talk to us. After waiting an hour, hotel said he "might" come by after 5pm. We waited awhile and told them we were leaving. They got the owner on the phone after 20 minutes hearing how he owned hotels here and there, managed hotels all over the world, and was a great guy, etc, etc, we agreed to pay 1 night and leave. We paid, signed the bill for 1 night, and left. 4 days later, after we had all left Argentina, the entire group received a charge on our credit cards for 4 more nights. My Argentinian associate called him no less than 20 times to get him to reverse the charges. Said he would, said he wouldn't, said he had to wait until the finance person got back, said hotels.com was charging him, (which wasn't true, since we paid at the hotel). What a ripoff! He could have easily offered us something the first night, discount, bottle of wine, something, but to think he can advertise rooms that don't exist, and then charge us days later is criminal. I have been to Cordoba 6 times, and there are many other hotels that are nicer. Never had this type of issue with any other hotel or management in Argentina. Do yourself a favor, find...

O que dizer desse apart hotel? Da suas acomodações, do café da manhã, da limpeza!? Nada! Porque não pudemos desfrutar de nada!|Viajamos com nossos filhos de 2 aninhos. |Realizamos e PAGAMOS a reserva com antecedência, e que não foi nosso surpresa, quando chegamos no hotel e descobrimos que nossa reserva havia sido cancelada. |O recepcionista mal educado, nervoso e sem um pingo de sensibilidade chegou a nos maltratar, como se a culpa fosse nossa!!!!!|Chegamos com nossos filhinhos cansados de viagem e agitados, eles brincavam pelo lobby do hotel enquanto tentávamos resolver a situação, e o recepcionista, claramente impaciente! Falava alto e gesticulava! Sabia que tínhamos dificuldades em entender, e não fazia questão nenhuma de se tentar fazer entender, só repetia: a reserva foi cancelada e o hotel está cheio! Não tem vaga! |Um absurdo de mal educado e insensível!! |Ele começou a ligar para verificar disponibilidade em outros hotéis, mas não por ter se sensibilizado com nossa situação, mas para se livrar logo de nós! |Meu marido e eu tentávamos resolver com nossa agente de turismo, e ele olhando com aquela cara mal humorada e empertigada! Bravo, porque a operadora ligou várias vezes informando que no sistema constava reserva confirmada e paga... e repetia: não adianta insistir, a reserva foi cancelada e não tem vaga!|O que mais nos surpreendeu, além da arrogância, falta de educação e insensibilidade do senhor recepcionista, era que se cancelássemos a reserva depois do dia 18 de maio, pagaríamos multa de 118 dólares, aproximadamente... ora, o recepcionista alegou que o cancelamento foi feito no dia 20, então, quem pagou a multa? Quem pediu cancelamento? |Enfim, uma experiência humilhante! Cansativa! |Saímos do lobby do hotel porque não aguentávamos mais o referido recepcionista e sua "delicadeza" , pois ele se mostrava cada vez mais incomodado com nossos filhos, e fomos para um barzinho próximo para tentar resolver a situação, detalhe, sem nenhum auxílio do Sol de Piedra. Depois de 4 horas, e com duas crianças exaustas e famintas, acabamos em um hotel sem estrutura para acomodar meus filhinhos! E, meu marido e eu, também exaustos e esgotados, tomando vinho em...
