If this is your first trip to South America you may have a problem with trash in the streets. The Cambremon is located one street away from the main drag and within easy walking distance of many sights and shopping areas. However at night the sidewalks do have a lot of trash spilled on them.

The hotel is very nice inside, and the hotel staff are the most helpful I can remember anywhere (especially Valentin). The rooms are spotlessly clean and only a little small as is normal for Argentina. Some rooms are split with a living room area. I was pleased they had a shower (no climbing into a tub) with the best pressure. The buffet breakfast was excellent. They have a slow internet connection but it was free when we arrived; then they upgraded the equipment and now there is a charge. We did not have any evening meals there.

Apart from the usual sights I recommend the Tortoni bar. This is only a block or two away and claims to be the oldest bar in BA. Their food is good and they have a tango show some evenings. (The place is apparently good enough for Hillary Clinton) A good place for steaks is La Estancia, which is in the opposite direction on a pedestrian street Lavalle (pronounced lavajay).

We took taxis to Recoleta, San Telmo (Plaza Dorrego is the Sunday antique fair where we enjoyed a good tango show), MALBA (a disappointing modern art museum), Caminitos (aka Boca, for cheesy tourist stuff). Each trip was between 4 and 10 Pesos. We also took a tour to Tigre and the delta; as well as a one day crossing to Colonia, Uruguay.

The price for hotels is high compared with everything else in Argentina, and there is a 21% tax on top of what they quote. Cost of in-house laundry is also high.

I hope this helps.

Well located, within walking distance of Florida street, cheaper end, and reasonable walk to Pink Palace, go beyond to refurbished dock buildings and restaurants at Purto Madero, cheap taxi ride home for $3.
Hotel Staff very helpful but little english, did get us fixed up with a tango show. Seems that what all the tourists do even those from Argentina and Uruguay. Hotel buffet breakfast was fine. Rooms are small and only had a shower no bathtub, but otherwise OK and clean.

Supermarket round the corner on Avenida de 9 Julio is open on Sunday and has got great wine and spirit deals. Enjoyed Recoleta upmarket area a short taxi ride away, eating in Viejo Palermo packed around 11 pm lively steet scene, and on Sunday a short taxi trip to fleamarket at San Telmo.

I would stay at the Cambremon again.

We stayed in Cambremon Hotel Buenos Aires for 5 days, during my daughter birthday and we loved the hotel. The staff is very kind and the suites is exactly as the photos that you can see on website.
The hotel is located very close to main avenue 9 Julio and few minutes far from microcenter, and can walk by the streets safety.

If you're staying in BsAs you have to decide which location best fits your habits. You can stay in the Recoleta area, living with the upper class, and be insulated from the real city. Or you can stay in the city center, convenient to everything, and tolerate a bit of noise and riff-raff in the streets (garbage picking, etc). We prefer the latter. Recoleta requires a cab (more of a thrill ride than a cab ride) to get anywhere except to the cemetery. From this hotel you can walk to Plaza de Mayo, Florida street, San Telmo, and the riverfront. You are a block off of the 29 de Julio Blvd, in a small botique hotel, just 2 blocks from a subway station. It has the best breakfasts we encountered, and the rooms are spotless. Rooms on the front (5 on each floor) face the street, and rooms on the back (3 on each floor) face ugly buildings. But the back ones are absolutely quiet, and the front view is nothing to look at anyhow. The staff is friendly, and Claudio will answer your emails promptly and accurately. We spent 8 nights there and it felt like home. The gym is not air conditioned, so it is always empty. The hotel has 3 computers for guests to use.
