They changed us to a smaller room but the smell was more pleasant. After dinner at one of the lovely restaurants -which by the way have a fantastic female bartender-, we requested a corkscrew, since there was none available in the room and we are still waiting for it -even when we approved an in-room corkage fee of US$10- our grand reserve Malbec is still uncorked. The next day we scheduled a massage at the spa, no robes, no slippers no hangers or lockers and one sided massages for 30 mins. No shower available afterwards. Great facilities, level of service should improve. ##### Ana Carolina Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Badelys 8 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place, with aqesome views, excellent service! ##### Badelys ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 5 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Bannister is a very nice hotel.
