The NH Jousten was a very friendly place to stay although the locaiton is not great for tourists. We had a nice corner room with many amenities. The staff was very helpful although the front desk clerk is a bit of a sourpuss! We did get accosted by pickpockets outside the hotel in broad daylight. They sprayed some goo on us and made us to think that it was bird excrement. Their trick did not succeed though!

I booked this hotel due to various comments about the location. In fact this hotel is strategically located at walking distance to the most visited places in Buenos Aires: two blocks from Casa Rosada, about 400 mts far from Puerto Madero, 3 blocks from Calle Florida, near to the 9th July Avenue...

However I was in honneymoon, in this aspect the hotel became very "average" and disappointed me. The service works, but is not personal as I wish... the room is nice, but not charming or romantic... Even the build is more beautiful in the photos than live.

In other words, if you're looking for a non-fancy stay, in a well located hotel, but no-frills, with an efficient (but not properly pleasant) service go to NH Jousten.

We stayed here in November 2005 for 8 nights and would stay here again. The room we stayed in is more typical of what you see in Europe: two single beds (not the two doubles or king that are commonplace in Canada or the US). The mattresses were comfortable and bedding was always clean. What I appreciated were the hardwood floors in the room. As I have severe allergies to various pollens, dust mites, etc., I can sometimes develop reactions in carpeted hotel rooms. The bathroom was clean, bright, and spacious and was always clean. The best feature of the hotel was the buffet breakfast. I've stayed at comparable hotels in Europe and have to concede that this breakfast was among the best I've ever seen; great selection, fresh fruits, hot section, etc. The front desk staff were professional but I wouldn't describe them as outwardly friendly. Two computers were available in the front desk area for customer internet use; this was helpful.

Stayed here last year. Although i booked my stay through Expedia, the hotel did not have our reservation. Showed them my printed out itinerary and they quickly set me up. The room was inititally two single beds but they moved me the next night into a large room with a huge bed. Overall very clean, close to the subway, and the staff was very hospitable and friendly.

They have WONDERFUL flan with dulce de leche - order it via room service.
