good breakfast; helpful staff; complimentary wifi We picked this hotel based on other reviews and they were quite accurate; the location is good - walking distance from downtown attractions; breakfast has a great variety and the complimentary wifi is handy - although sometimes it goes off....was told best to stay at close to 2nd or 7th floor for best access; staff was friendly and speak English
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : use the front desk to book local tours

bien situado. estilo antiguo. mozos amables. tours interesantes. el hotel no es de estilo moderno en decoracion. y ademas tenemos que esperar bastante tiempo para que salga agua caliente. al principio pensabamos que habia horario para agua corriente, resulta que no, pero tienen que dejar el agua correr y esperar.... el hotel esta muy bien situado, esta cerca del obelisco, esta cerca de la calle florida, la calle corriente, andando ya pueden llegar a la casa rosada, y ademas, hay un carrefour express en la esquina, muy conveniente para comprar agua, etc. los chicos son muy amables, se puede contratar los tours en la recepcion. el desayuno muy bueno tambien.

When I arrived in the evening I mentioned that I wanted to take the city bus tour the next day and the organisation was done by the time I came to confirm it the next morning.
The coninental Breakfast was addequate and enough. The hot freshly baked bread was good. The hotel is currently busy with renovations so I am sure the room I had is scheduled to be redone - the wallpaper was coming loose on the corners and peeling over.
The room I had overlooked the street and the road traffic noise throughout the night bothered me. From the airport to the hotel I hired a
Citoen Taxi for 140 Pesos and had a comortable and enjoyble 35 km ride into the city with a discount coupon of 100 Pesos for the return trip. On the return trip I took the hotel Taxi offer for 95 Pesos but we were crammed into a less spacious car. In hindsight I should have called the Taxi from the airport.
The hotel is a bit dated but the room was comfortable with hot water in the bathroom. The pre-booking and pre-payment helped in that there was no futher payments to be made at the hotel. The spiral staircase with the copper clad bannister handrail was a nice feature. The stained glass windows in the dining hall were well done.
We had lovely sunny weather the first day and the city bus tour was quite enjoyable. The second day it rained all day and we got soaked when we went to visit the art museum which we did not get to see as it is closed on Tuesdays.
There are a lot of homeless people sleeping in front of buildings that were vacant. The city however is neat and clean and well organised.
We were able to store our luggage in the lock-up room after we had booked out and before we left for the airport.
Shopping Tip : There is an auto-cash machine very close at the corner of the first street.

The hotel is an old building and the rooms, while clean, are not modern. If you are fussy about fixtures and plumbing then go somewhere alse. If you want good value in a great location then stay here.

well located, has easy access to all the needs almost anything, all acceptable we stayed in this hotel 6 nights. The hotel is modern because any old type, but clean. is very well located, near metro, tourist sites, also near the pedestrian street, everything goes very easy and convenient from this hotel. very nice people, very effective. breakfast not bad considering that the Argentine breakfast nothing to do with the American.

Excellent location, professionalism, staff, comfortable rooms Breakfast Room, with little variety of artificial juices salty food We spent two nights and we were comfortable. It is a handy place to carry out actions, attend conferences, sightseeing, including visits to the opera Cabildo, Casa Rosada, Congress, etc.. Also go shopping, the pedestrian shopping and good nightlife . With regard to the restaurants there is a huge variety for international palates
