Hotel Salerno
Two blocks from downtown, built for walking everywhere
About this hotel
Hotel Salerno's whole pitch is the two-block walk to the commercial center, and it delivers on that promise: rooms face the city rather than the lake, but the Peatonal, restaurants and casino are close enough to reach on foot within minutes of stepping outside. Bathrooms come with a hairdryer and bidet, rooms carry a flat-screen cable TV and air conditioning, and a 24-hour front desk with luggage storage covers the practical side of a short downtown stay. It suits a traveller who wants to drop bags and walk straight into town rather than plan a taxi for every dinner. The location also means an evening walk back from the Peatonal never needs a taxi, which matters most on the busiest January nights when the town's streets fill fastest.
- City-view rooms
- Restaurant and snack bar
- 24-hour front desk
- Two-block walk downtown
Our take
This suits travellers prioritizing a walkable downtown base over lake views, especially couples, who rate the location highly for a two-person trip. Anyone wanting a room actually facing Lago San Roque should look further along the Costanera instead, since Salerno's rooms look out over the city rather than the water.
- Ask for an upper-floor room if street noise from the nearby commercial area bothers you at night
- Use the 24-hour front desk for luggage storage on your last day before a late departure
- Walk the two blocks to the commercial center for dinner rather than booking a taxi you will not need

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the two-block walk into central Villa Carlos Paz does more for the trip than any amenity list, since dinner, the Peatonal and the casino all end up within easy reach on foot. The rooms stay simple but functional, with a hairdryer and bidet covering the basics, and the snack bar downstairs becomes a reliable stop after a long day of walking the Costanera and back without needing to plan a taxi.
