My husband and I stayed at the Tryp Hotel in July of this year. This hotel is a part of the Sol Melia family of hotels and is categorized more as a business hotel although we were traveling for pleasure. We were very favorably impressed by the Tryp!
This was our first time in Buenos Aires. The hotel is located in Microcenter which means it is central and near most everything tourists would want to see. Just out the hotel door and to the left is a pedestrian-only shopping street and we walked to many other sights, shops and restaurants from the hotel. Our room was very contemporary and comfortable--king-sized bed (they call it queen size but it is American king) was one of the most comfortable I have slept in in a hotel. There was a choice of several kinds of pillows. The flat-screen plasma TV was on the wall in front of the bed. There was an easy chair with ottoman and desk with comfortable chair. There was a mini-bar that they said we could use as a refrigerator. Nice closet with storage and a safe. Bathroom with bidet and shower (great water pressure and hot, too) was well-lit and had very nice amenities. There was one big window but unfortunately the view was to the office building across the street BUT the black-out shades were nice in the morning to keep out the sunlight!
The buffet breakfast was included with the room charge and was really good. There were scrambled eggs or you could order eggs any way you wanted them. There was bacon, sausage, juices, milk, cereal, oatmeal, many breads and pastries, fresh fruit and good coffee. Wait staff was courteous and efficient.
There were two computers available for guest use--free of charge. I think the rooms had wi-fi but we didn't bring a computer of our own.
The hotel staff was one of the biggest positives about the property. There was always someone at the desk who spoke excellent English. All were courteous and willing to help with any questions or requests. My husband's birthday was on the second day of our stay. When we returned to our room in the afternoon after much walking and touring, there were two small cakes and a "Happy Birthday from the Tryp Hotel" card on the desk. We looked at each other and said "How did they know?" But we finally realized that they had taken note of his birthday when they made a copy of our passports at check-in.
The only negative that occurred on the whole trip was with a taxi. All the tourist information I read said to be careful of the taxis and being overcharged and that the best way was to have your hotel call a taxi for you. We did this several times but one of these times was on a Sunday and we were going to the restaurant Cabana Las Lilas. The taxi had a meter and we got out and prepared to pay the charge on the meter but the driver said there was a surcharge (I have forgotten the amount, but it wasn't much maybe equal to a dollar or two.) We were told that these Radio taxis charge by the meter and that is why you only take those taxis. So we argued and I pulled out all the Spanish that I knew and my husband even called over a couple of policemen. Meanwhile the taxi driver got on his phone and called someone. So I just said pay it because I didn't want to get hauled off to jail or in a fight over a small amount of money. When we returned to the hotel, the front desk staff knew about it because the taxi driver had called them. They were very apologetic and said they did not understand why the taxi driver had charged more than the meter and that they were going to report it to their manager and the taxi company. But we didn't pursue it anymore and just walked or took the subway (subte) the rest of the time except for the taxi that the hotel called to take us to the airport. No problems with it.
We probably will visit Buenos Aires again and if we do we DEFINITELY will stay at the Tryp Hotel.

We stayed at the Tryp on three separate occasions during our Argentina trip. The rooms are modern, large and have nice bathrooms. The other reviews are spot on. The best thing about the Tryp is the staff. Extremely friendly and accommodating. The property is well located...close to Florida Street shopping. It's a GREAT value for the money. You can't go wrong with this place!!

Based upon reviews posted on TripAdvisor.com, two of us chose to stay at the Tryp Buenos Aires for three nights. We are glad that we did.

We had a room with two beds and there was plenty of space for us and our luggage. The room was newer with modern furnishings, including a flat screen TV that has a DVD player in it. The beds were comfortable. Since I had requested a quiet room, we were on the back side of the hotel, and we had no issues with any noise. The windows actually open (which is not always the case at hotels these days). The view was of the parking garage next door, the back of some buildings, etc. The view was nothing special, but I didn't book the hotel for its view so that was not an issue for us. Our room was an adjoining room, but we only heard our neighbor once or twice throughout our stay so no problems with that either. The room had a walk in shower with a glass door. The shower was good -- great water pressure and the water was nice and hot. For our European friends, the bathroom included a bidet in addition to a toilet with a flush button on the side. The mini bar refrigerator was a good place to store our personal water (it does not have those annoying electronic sensors that are prevalent at some hotels).

The front desk staff members were accommodating, allowing us to check-out late on our last day in Buenos Aires. Prior to my arrival, I had trouble with the [--] email address. My email from my Yahoo! account resulted in an error message. The following email address for the Front Office worked just fine: [--]

We arranged a car service through the hotel. The driver from the airport spoke basic English and was delightful. He was waiting for us when we exited customs. It took us awhile to get through customs so we had to pay a little extra since the driver had to wait longer than the standard waiting time, but it was OK. On the drive to the hotel, the driver told us about some of the local area including the July 9 avenue. We also arranged a tour through the hotel on our first day in town. It was a good basic, get acquainted tour in English that took us to several neighborhoods around the city.

As others have mentioned, the breakfast buffet, which was included in my hotel rate, was a good way to start the day. There were assorted breads/pastries, two kinds of meat, eggs, fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, etc. I'm a picky eater, and I could find plenty to eat each morning.

The hotel's location was convenient to Gallerias Pacifico, a nice mall with a food court, culture center and shops, of course. Everything from Timberland to furs inside a one-block indoor mall, complete with doormen to open the door for you. The hotel was also within walking distance to Puerto Madero, where I had an incredible lunch at El Mirasol. On my last day, I found a natural food deli-like place that was good, too.

My one pet peeve was with the hotel's housekeeping in that when I checked in there was no Evian on top of the area with the fridge. There was just the paper hang tag that should've been affixed to a bottle. The first couple days, it stayed that way. On the last day, there was a bottle of Evian, along with a slip charging us something like 22 pesos for a 1 or 1.5 L bottle of Evian that we'd never consumed. To the hotel's credit, they removed the charge with no fuss.

There are definitely more opulent and more expensive places to stay in Buenos Aires; however, if you want nice, newer, clean accommodations at a reasonable cost in a convenient location, the Tryp will suit your needs. To manage your expectations, just remember that it is not in a fabulous waterfront neighborhood like Puerto Madero or on a Parisian-like avenue like some of Recoleta since it is downtown.

Great stay for 5 days in BA. Hotel staff provided great service. They helped arranging taxis, airport transfers and restaurants.
Breakfast was plentiful and very good.
Rooms were the most spacious we had on our South america trip. They were very modern with all the latest amenities.
On arrival I was concerned about safety. We arrived at night and the hotel is on a very dark and isolated street. I was concerned about safety since I was travelling with my wife & young daughters. The hotel had GREAT security and there was always someone outside watching the area. We had no problems even coming back late at night. I was very appreciative though of their visible security.
Florida street (major shopping venue) is around the corner. The Tryp is very close as are many sites, including Puerto Madero. We walked to most sites.
Hotel was close to the Metro stop. Taxis were also very cheap. Our costs usually ran $4-5/ trip.
BA was great and my whole family enjoyed the Tryp.
