We stayed for about a week in early May, 2005. It was recommended to us by an Argentine friend of a friend here in the U.S. I was a bit concerned because of the other feedback I had seen on this website, but still went there. I was pleasantly surpised that it was actually a nice little hotel for the price. The location was great - walking distance from Calle Florida, the Obelisco, the Casa Rosada, etc., and with a bit longer walk you can get to the Recoleta area (20 min.?). The room we had was clean and comfortable - although the bathroom was teensy. The room had a kitchenette. Try to get a room with a balcony like we did (we got a free upgrade!), which makes it nice for sitting out and having a glass of wine to wind down after sightseeing all day. We didn't have a noise problem at all, perhaps because we were on the 10th floor. But no noise from adjoining rooms. The included breakfast went until 11am, which is good for that occasional late morning start. They had pastries (media lunas and more), toast, dulce de leche, marmalade, eggs and bacon, fruit, yoghurt, and of course coffee, tea and juice. They even let us have breakfast the morning we arrived while we waited 1/2 hr for our room to be ready. They let us into it at 11am, even though check-in is at noon. And their front desk was very helpful. Also, there is a computer in the lobby so you can go online if you wish.
