I was very pleased with my decision to stay here. For the price, the entire experience was terrific. While the room was small, with just enough room to walk around the bed and have a bit left over, I was traveling alone so it was sufficient for my purposes. (I would have felt cramped had my husband been with me!) That said, the bed was very comfortable, the room and bathroom were neat as a pin, and it was very quiet. The staff was courteous and helpful. I did not have to wait too long at any one time so did not experience some of the delays others have described in their posted comments. I did not interact much with other guests but noticed at breakfast that the hotel appears to draw an international crowd. Speaking of breakfast, it was wonderful! On Saturday morning, I had an omelet (with mushrooms, tomato, onion, and cheese) along with a luna (i think that is what it's called), poached pear, and as many cups of espresso (from the easy-to-operate machine in the beverage area) as I wished. On Sunday, there was no cook to prepare special egg dishes. Instead, I had to settle for pre-made scrambled eggs . But, really, I can't complain. In any case, for the price, it was terrific.

Stayed at the Nogaro Hotel in Feb 2007, and were pleased overall. The Plaza de Mayo location is excellent if you're looking for convenience and a quiet area at night. Very short walking distances to Calle Florida, several Subte stations, and the San Telmo Sunday markets. The Bolivar Subte station is at the end of the block.

We booked the executive suite on Expedia .. less than $30/night more than a regular room, so worth it. The king-size bed was very comfortable. There was a separate sitting room with TV, decent sized bathroom with excellent shower pressure, and a nice closet with a safe included.

The free breakfast was amazing .. truly an enormous selection of meats, cheeses, pastries, fruits, and a friendly fellow to make eggs as you wish. A late breakfast and light afternoon snack were enough to last me through the day til a typically huge, Argentine steak dinner.

My only complaints were the lack of good wireless internet signal in the room (7th fl), and the length of check-out time. I used a comfy chair in the stairwell to get a solid wireless signal, and there are two computer stations in the basement. As mentioned in other entries, the front desk is usually managed by two, very overwhelmed employees. They were competant and friendly, but busy! All was forgiven when my minibar bill came to about $7 USD for roughly 7-9 items. :-D

We would definitely stay again. Shoot me a message if you want more info or BA advice.

We stayed here twice as we moved around Argentina. The Nogaro seems to have 2 personalities. One is a modern city hotel (downstairs),and the other a slightly tired 3 star hotel (the bedrooms).
Plus points include excellent location, good reception staff who called restaurants, etc. Very good extensive breakfast.
Minus points: The bedrooms are rather tired. Bathrooms need a refurbishment. No bathplugs - though after a hilarous mime encounter the housekeepers found one.
No safe in our rooms. The solution was an envelope kept in the reception's safe!
We had to move rooms when we discovered that a US soccer team were using our floor. Probably nice lads but noisy in the corridor. The staff moved us with no fuss.
They allowed us to stay in our room until 3pm on the last day which was great as we were flying to Europe that night.
I would stay here again.

Before staying in Nogaro I had stayed in 1555 Malabia House, which I had chosen because of good reviews on trip advisor, and which I loved. So the Nogaro had a lot to live up to, and generally failed. It's a very different type of hotel. The Malabia is small, very friendly service and in a great part of town for bars, restaurants etc. The Nogaro is big, impersonal, and right near the Plaza de Mayo. Although a short walk to the interesting area of San Telmo, this part of town is like the city of London, with a bit of Oxford Street thrown in, and is fairly quiet at weekends. The Malabia is a twenty minute taxi ride away in Palermo, and this is more like the Notting Hill area. I much prefered Palermo. Back to the Nogaro: I stayed during a heatwave (40 degrees) and the air conditioning could not cope. I changed room, but the temperature was still 28 degrees in the room. Although the hotel has had a refit, the bathrooms reminded me of 60s Parisian, and there were lots of niggles: the mini bar did not cool properly, the curtains did not shut, the drains smelt, there were no plugs. I could go on. The staff seemed very overworked, and charmlessly dealt with my concerns. They said that the air conditioning was not working properly, but I think it could not cope. The main redeeming feature for the hotel is that the breakfast was very good. Overall it seemed poor value for money and I'm sure you can do better. I for one will not return!
