Question
Hello.  I've had a hotel booked for me (for 1 week) called the Hotel Lancaster.  Do you know if this is a good hotel?  Regards, Mark

Answer
Dear Mark,

Thank you very much for your question.

Lancaster is a very old hotel located at the intersection of Cordoba Ave. and Reconquita St. The location is not bad, and there are actually several pubs nearby, where a lot of office workers spend the "after hour". However, the hotel is very old and honestly it is not very well maintained. I suggest you be careful with the star rating, because many hotels in Argentina are "overrated" so you can't rely just on the stars or the photos shown on the websites. According to international standards, Lancaster Hotel should be 1 or 2 stars and in my opinion you shouldn't pay more than USD 20.00 per night, including taxes and breakfast. I hope this helps and I wish you a great stay.

Expertise

I was born in Argentina and have lived ever since so I can answer all kinds of questions about my country. I have also visited other countries and that has given me a wider perspective which enables me help foreigners in a better way. I have travelled along Argentina, from the north to the south and have been to almost its 22 provinces. I have also worked for a travel agency in the inbound tourism department. I enjoy being a hostess very much and feel willing to assist foreigners in the best possible way.

Experience

Have travelled a lot along the country. I´ve been in charge of the inbound tourism department at a travel agency. I worked in Japan as a volunteer for a culture exchange organization, giving lectures about Argentina.
