Pros:

Excellent choice as a base for exploring Buenos Aires. Close to everything ... hop on hop off bus stops, tango dinner show, San Telmo market, Buquebus if planning to visit Uruguay. The room we stayed in was next to the main road, we can hear sirens, etc., but didn't bother us at all. We still got a restful sleep. Might not be suitable for everyone. However, our stay was trouble-free and staff were all helpful and kind. Happy to stay here again.

Pros:

Stayed here for 9 nights on a solo trip, was very clean and a very nice loft set up. Staff were friendly and very helpful with making recommendations of things to visit in the city, no fridge or safe in the room had to keep valuables on me while exploring the city. Aside from that the location is great. 5 miniute walk from plaza de mayo, 10 miniute walk from the city centre. There’s also a 24 hour grocery store 3 miniute walk away.

Pros:

No me dieron una boleta formal para empezar, y cuando ya me iba me cobraron una tarifa adicional porque no se acordaban qué había pagado con dolares y pesos, tuve que insistirle a la recepcionista que se comunique con quien me atendió cuando llegué al hotel, pésimo servicio, no L o recomiendo para nada, termine pagando 20 dolares más

Otimo custo benefício
Pros:

Hotel muito bonito, com instalações e decoração antigas. Tem um museu no subsolo. Bom custo benefício. Os quartos tem 2 andares, então quem é pcd ou tem mobilidade reduzida deve se informar primeiro se tem algum quarto acessível. Para quem não tem restrição, recomendo muito. Localização ótima.

A localização muito boa, perto do obelisco, puerto madero, casa rosada, conseguimos fazer tudo a pé partindo do centro.
