I am deeply disappointed with my experience at Ben’s Hotel Palermo. I paid $117 per night for a 9-night stay, but I had to leave after just one night because the hotel lacks basic accessibility features. As a 75-year-old with mobility challenges, I found the facilities completely unsuitable. The bathtub was dangerously high, and there were no safety handles to assist with getting in or out. This made it unsafe for both me and my 69-year-old wife.||Rather than addressing the issue or offering an appropriate solution, the staff transferred us to an Airbnb at Ben’s Downtown. This location cost $60 per night but lacked security, daily cleaning, and breakfast—none of the amenities I was paying for. It was a poor substitute and felt like a downgrade, especially for someone with accessibility needs.||To make matters worse, the one night we stayed in Palermo had a strong mold smell, which made it unbearable. I requested a refund for the remaining 8 nights in Palermo, which totals $456, but my request was denied. I cannot understand why I’m being charged for accommodations that I could not safely use due to their lack of proper accessibility features.||As first-time visitors to Argentina, this experience has been extremely disappointing. I am asking for a refund of $456 for the nights I did not stay. My reservation number is 368438102. To anyone with accessibility needs, I strongly advise avoiding Ben’s Hotel Palermo and Ben’s Downtown. They are not equipped to accommodate guests with disabilities, and their customer service left much to be desired.
