Rooms are modern and clean. Bathroom and shower facilities are luxurious. There is some street noise, but the level is minimal. Breakfast is fabulous. Food at the bar was excellent. The service from staff was outstanding. English was spoken by the staff. Central location but as always be vigilant in these areas.

Location is OK, but that's where the good news ends. Rooms are small, furniture is of Franciscan simplicity, bathroom is tiny, elevators DID NOT WORK (great if climbing 8 flights of stairs is part of your daily exercise routine, but otherwise...), fitness center was inaccesible (may be that's why they did not fix the elevators?), price is high for the bracket. Do I need to say more? I would stay away and choose many of the atlernatives with equally good location.

My wife and I spent a wonderful week in Buenos Aires, March 2 thru March 9, 2007 and stayed at the 725 which we enjoyed very much. The only glitch when we checked into our room was the bathroom which we found was a tad too small, but we were quickly switched to another room which was very adequate, indeed! Mostly pros for this hotel: it bills itself as a modern boutique hotel, and succeeds quite nicely, rooms spacious enough with nice linens; location is excellent if you fancy one right in the heart of the city; breakfasts (included in the rate) are first class - couldn't get enough of the liquid yogourt; fashionable lobby; helpful staff overall; an unbeatable rooftop pool and sunning area. What more do you really need? We even ate one night at the restaurant and had an outstanding meal.

While the rate was a tad on the high side, I still would highly recommend the 725 for someone looking for a boutique type hotel in the downtown core.

I and my family stayed in hotel for four nights divided in two distinct periods of two nights in February. On the positive side, I think the rooms are quite nice, although varying in size, and the location, for those willing to stay downtown, is appealing. However, service offered is quite poor, although staff pretends to be or look helpful. When I arrived the first time in the hotel, there was absolutely nobody to help me with luggage at the door. I had to carry it all myself. Despite the fact was 8 PM, one of the rooms I had booked was not cleaned/ready. We waited in the one available for half an hour but nobody would take our luggage upstairs. Fed up, I went down and took it upstairs myself. At this time, I witnessed the following scene: a young mother, carrying a baby, was complaining in the front desk that she had been trying to get somebody in room service for twenty minutes for no avail. I think you get the picture! The second time I arrived, they put us in two different floors despite the fact I asked them that to have my children in the same floor. The guy in the front desk told me he was sorry but the hotel was full. They are always "sorry", but you can perfectly see they do not care a lot. If the hotel were cheaper one could take it in strides. But this is definitly not the case!
