I have stayed in this hotel twice now. It's a very good hotel, although a litte bit pricy if compared to the other hotels of the NH chain in BA. I guess it's because the Latino, unlike its cousins, is business oriented. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. There is a little coffee table and two chairs near the floor-to-ceiling windows where you can sit, rest and chat. There's also a working table. The floor is paved with wood, which makes the room cozy and acarus-free. The bathroom is good, there's a large table sink where you can spread your stuff. The towels are big and smooth, so are the sheets. The furniture is a bit outdated and the tv set is very old, I hope they have replaced it with a flat lcd one. The first time I stayed there, in 2007, the amenity kit available in the bathroom was far better than the ones they offered in 2009. The old ones included mini toothbrushes, mini toothpaste, disposable shavers, body lotion, swabs. The ones I found in 2009 included just soap and shampoo. The both times I've been there I found the hotel very quiet: in 2009 it was expected, as I traveled in the swine flu peak season in BA, but in 2007 I didn't understand why it was so empty. The breakfast buffet is very good. Again, it was better in 2007 than in 2009. There are delicacies, medialunas, yogurt, cereals and fruits and you can order omelettes. You can also pick a newspaper to read while you have your breakfast. The staff is attentive and friendly. The location is great, within walking distance to the Obelisk, the Colón Theater, the May Square and the Florida street. There are subway stations of three different lines in the vicinity: one of them is right in front of the hotel. There's a McDonalds and a Burger King restaurants in the area. The Confiteria Ideal is in the same street and there's a Havanna Cafe nearby. The electrical plugs are not adapted to the brazilian and american standards, bring your adapter. I really like this hotel, although it concerned me that some features got poorer from 2007 to 2009, hope they keep up the good work and refurbish the hotel
