This hotel is rated as a 4 stars hotel...it's barely a 2! I guess it was a 4 stars when it first opened (40 years ago!). No renovations since! I don't know if they still have smoking room but the smell was bad. There is so many hotels in Buenos Aires I suggest you go somewhere else! The price is way to high for what it is.

The Cuatro Reyes hotel in Buenos Aires has surprised me a lot in my last trip to BsAs.
It is a friendly environment with rooms that seem newly renovated, courteous staff, excellent (free... yes, as in beer) breakfast. Okay Wi-Fi and lots of little perks.

But let's be honest... not all is roses... The hotel could use a little bit more upkeep and better housekeeping service.

We are not fussy people... we've traveled all over south america and have seen great places and modest accomodations and rarely do we ever turn up our noses... but c'mon...

Imagine a place where your room and the narrow hallways smell like sweaty men have spend the night rubbing themslves on the carpet...

Where the streets are deserted at night and to get to anywhere interesting takes AT LEAST a 20 minute walk...

Where polite requests for a change or rooms (assuming better were available) are worse than ignored, they are dismissed...

Where the fron doors to the hotel are locked at 10 PM, requiring a buzz inside...

Where the lobby furniture hasn't been updated in at least 3 decades...

Welcome to the Cuatro Reyes. Don't get me wrong, We LOVED Buenos Aires and had a FANTASTIC time.

But this place should be avoided at all costs until such a time as they renovate and provide you with decent, competitively priced accomodations.

Again, you'll be much better off at one of the samll hotels right downtown, or just about any of the hostels in San Telmo, Palermo, etc.

There's nothing to see here... stay away.

Sorry I didn't warn you earlier.
