I stayed here for 2 weeks with a group of 18 people on a study tour from the University of Massachusetts (USA), so I’m not sure about the cost, as it was part of our tuition fee. My roommate and I were in a 3-room suite, and I enjoyed our stay very much. Although the bedroom area was a little cramped, the beds were comfortable, and the living/dining room and kitchenette were spacious. We had cable TV, a decent futon couch, a small kitchen table with 2 chairs, and a full bathtub with shower that worked very well. Apparently some of the other students in other suites had only a shower stall, however, and we heard that they had problems with water spraying all over their bathrooms.

I found most of the staff members to be quite friendly. I made an effort to use my castellano (Argentine Spanish), rudimentary as it was, and people responded to the effort. The front desk staff also spoke English. They and the housekeeping staff went out of their way to accommodate our large, young, energetic group on a number of occasions.

The location, near Santa Fe Avenue, had its advantages and disadvantages. It was very convenient – a couple of blocks from the subway and bus stops, and close to a zillion shops and fast-food places. Good restaurants can be found in the immediate neighborhood, with many more in nearby Palermo Viejo. However, you’re in the middle of the action -- the Sociedad Rural, a giant convention center, is 2 blocks away, so when a concert takes place there, you can hear nearly every word of the songs, even in a 12th-floor room. Light sleepers will need earplugs. Some of the hotel guests were also not considerate about keeping the noise level down, particularly on weekends.

The free wi-fi was great, and the breakfast buffet was the best I’ve seen in Buenos Aires. I wasn’t crazy about the scrambled eggs, but I have to have protein in the morning, and it was clear they made an effort to provide the USians with a more “American” breakfast. The potatoes with red and green peppers were tasty, and there was a good array of pastries and fruit every morning.

One bit of advice: the hotel laundry service is outrageously expensive, and there was a tiny laundry owned by a friendly Chinese family a couple of blocks down the side street. I packed a couple of plastic trash bags in my suitcase, and it was well worth taking a bag of laundry down the street and saving hundreds of pesos.

I would stay here again, although it’s not as homey as B & Bs and even hostels in which I’ve stayed in Argentina.

We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights. The room we got was relatively spacious, it had a kitchenette and a balcony, the bathroom was small but clean. The hotel itself is very old, and has ample room for renovation. It is well located, it is close to the zoo, the botanical garden and not far from the subte station.
Breakfast was OK, we have no complains about the staff but this will not be our first choice if we are to return Buenos Aires.

We stayed there as we had to make an unexpected stop on the way to Brasil. The rooms are small and tired and would be rated 3 star... breakfast is good although service is slow. The location is good with plenty of nice restaurants in the vicinity.The staff tried to help, but there English was poor.

Value for money would be 7 out of 10

Rooms are very old and mold. Beds are bad. Very noisy room. Breakfast starts only at 7 am. Water in the shower is not hot. Ugly room. Old kitchen inside the room (door does not close).
