Very nice hotel staff, but Martin (tall & blondish) speaks the best English. They'll phone in reservations, call for taxis, and assist in booking tours. All very willing to help in any way, including maids (no English). Internet is free to use anytime. Will store luggage free when you have an evening departure. Breakfast is usual European fare, plus yogurt, 3 dry cereals, strong coffee, juices and fresh fruit. Place is clean from top to bottom; never saw a bug anywhere and carpet looks new. English TV on 8 channels. Plenty of hot water and big towels, even a phone in bath. Good central location: 8 blocks from Obelisk, 4 to American Express Building, 8 to Pacifica Galleria and Teatro Colon. All tours pick up and deliver right in front of the door. Noise from the street can be heard at night, but sleep comes quickly from all the walking, so it was no real problem. Did notice a couple of things, like the drapes need to be replaced and the pillows are like bricks, but overall my stay was better than expected for the price, and it was because the staff was really so very, very nice.
