Up Laprida

By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

Up Laprida is worth booking if you want a simple 3-star base in Recoleta at a low reference price and do not need extras. If you can spend a couple of euros more, our Best Value pick scores higher, so compare both before you pay.

Who it suits and who should skip it

This is our Budget pick in Buenos Aires. It fits travellers who mainly need a clean bed, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a front desk that is staffed 24 hours. Couples on a short city break and solo travellers watching their spend are the natural match.

Skip it if you want a pool, a gym, a restaurant or breakfast you can count on. None of those appear in the data. Breakfast is not confirmed at all, so treat it as not included until the listing says otherwise. If a higher guest score matters more to you than the last few euros, look at our Best Value choice first.

Location and getting around Recoleta

The address is Laprida 1429, in Recoleta. Guests rate the location 9.2 out of 10, which is the strongest number on this page.

Teatro Colón is about 2.3 km away, roughly 29 minutes on foot. That is a fair walk but doable on a good day. The Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral is 3.4 km away (about 43 minutes) and Plaza de Mayo is 3.5 km (about 44 minutes). Those two are far on foot, so plan on public transport or a taxi.

All walking times here are straight-line estimates, not measured routes. Real streets add time, so check a map for your exact plans.

What guests say

The overall score is 8.3 out of 10 from 1,654 guest reviews. That is a solid result with a large sample behind it. Still, in the provider sample it sits joint 13th of 18 eligible properties by review score, so it is not one of the top-rated hotels in the city.

We do not have a breakdown of specific likes or dislikes for this property. Room size, noise levels, the state of the rooms and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Read the most recent reviews to see what guests mention about noise and room condition.

Price and what you get compared with our other picks

The reference price was about €77.72 per night. That figure comes from reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults in one room. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.

Here is the honest comparison. Tanguero Hotel Boutique Antique, our Best Value pick, came in at about €79.74 per night with 4 stars and a 9.3 score. That is roughly €2 more per night for a higher guest rating and an extra star. Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires, our Luxury pick, was about €740.49 per night with 5 stars and a 9.3 score.

Why it made our top 3

We compared 18 eligible properties in Buenos Aires. Up Laprida had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, at well below the sample median of about €168.74 per night.

It also pairs that price with a strong location score of 9.2 and more than 1,600 reviews. For a budget slot, that combination of price, location rating and review volume is what earned it the place.

Before you book

Check whether breakfast is included in your rate, because it is not confirmed. Confirm the cancellation terms on your booking. Look at room photos and recent reviews for size and noise, since we have not assessed either. Then compare today's price with Tanguero Hotel Boutique Antique, since the gap on the reference dates was small.
