We were just in Buenos Aires for one night after taking a 14 day cruise. All reviews loved the location but said the rooms were very shoddy. They were right on about the location right in the middle of everything.We paid twenty dollars more to upgrade the room.A good choice. It was newly remodeled and had 4 star amenities. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. The breakfast that was included was wonderful. A very varied buffet.
Since the full price,inc. all taxes and the breakfast was$ 86, without a doubt the best value we have ever found in the middle of a wonderful city.

I am a travel agent and took 16 people on a cruise to South America. We had three days prior in BA and stayed at the Grand King Hotel. The price was excellent, $89 night for two, as was breakfast which is included. The hotel is located on a pedestrian street a few steps from the main Florida Street tourist area where you can walk and watch the Tango dances perform at night. Hotel was very clean and staff is great. Jill in Colorado

Grand King is an excellent location for your stay in Buenos Aires. It is at the intersection of the two pedestrian streets of LaValle & Florida. The staff was very nice, the lobby was nice, breakfast was good, the price ($51USD/nt., we got an internet special) was excellent. The rooms need revovated with new carpets, walls needed painted, and new mattresses on the beds. The rooms were very quiet.

I would have been willing to spend more per night if the rooms had been in better condition.

This was by far and away the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Right from the forst minute that we got here it was terrible.

We have had a little misfortune and have had to stay in BA for a few extra nights more than we planned and so we tried to find somewhere that was central and we knew. We happened to stumble across The Grand King on Wotif. ´

After checking into our room, which I might add was an absolute disgrace, we were called up by reception and told that we had to check out at 12pm the next day. I advised that we knew this and that was ok. The room advertised cable tv, there was no cable tv. The room advertised a minibar, they would not give us the key for the mini bar. They advertised a business centre, the PCs did not work. The room said that it came with breakfast, they wanted to charge us for breakfast. This is just a few that I can rememer.

When we decided to get out of our dive of a room, we were told down at reception that we would have to check out of our room at 11am the next day. I thought at this stage, if I could get my money back I would check out now.

So there is a positive. Its on Lavelle street which is full of shopping, tasty restaurants and other touristy things to do.

So as the title says I wouldn´t send my worst enemy to this hotel.
