A walking distance from the centre of all attraction and is in city centre. Train/Tuibe station is closeby as well. Hotel staff are friendly and accomodative for later checkouts and helpful to get taxis and negotiate the rates.

We also arrived at this hotel having made a booking and expecting to stay. We gained access but there was nobody on reception. In the end someone staying there long term helped us to find another hotel and get a taxi. Just like to say - if you read this we send a big THANK YOU ever so much to that young man. It is nice to know that such kind helpful people still exist in big cities

We arrived at this hotel and managed to gain access only to be told the hotel had closed 3 weeks before! Apparently the had notified the appropriate organisations, but the news some how hadn't been passed on to our travel agents. Our taxi had dropped us off and left, so we were stranded with our large suitcases in the rain, in the center of Buenos Aires, in a rather intimidating area. Fortunately the Savoy is just around the corner which somehow seemed a much more lively area and we managed to get a good deal by booking on Expedia (better than booking at the reception)

We were supposed to stay in this hotel on 9 April for one night but did not get access to hotel we tried the door bell and tried ringing the hotel by phone but no success . On second thought it was a blessing in disguise. Fortunately we had a tour guide with us the took us to an other hotel. Please avoid the area not nice quite intimidating.

We have stayed in small hotels like this before, full of character and yes, perhaps a few quirks, but all being said we felt safe, comfortable and thankful we had such lovely ladies, especially Roxanne, looking after us. We had no problem finding the place and I liked that the front entry was locked so you had to announce that you were there. They have their own button on the wall. Once inside it is up a few steps to reach the elevator and yes it is an old elevator but it works - as long as people close the two doors - if people just leave them open then this old girl will not run. There were three couples in all in rooms 5, 8 and 13 as we were there for three nights before flying to Mendoza and the Uco Valley. 5 and 8 had a/c challenges, not as cool as we would like while our friends in 13 basked in cooling glory. They did offer to move us to other rooms but we declined so in part it is our fault. Being so very hot in BA once we did get back to our room it seemed perfectly fine even if not working at full capacity. I do think that a combination of ceiling fan - especially since the ceilings are so high - and the a/c working would have been perfect. On the front of the building where 5 and 8 are, it can get noisy at night so you cannot open your windows. (note to everyone who travels - always bring earplugs- they really do help) For breakfast it was continental, nothing hot, but it hit the spot and the coffee was very good. It was a good place to sit and chat with the other guests as well. It may not look that safe an area but we did a lot of walking down those streets and felt quite safe plus there are some wonderful cafes, bars and restaurants to eat at and really beautiful architecture from days gone by. At night we didn't do too much walking as we were all bagged from our daily walking tours. Once you get your bearings you really are in a good spot for walking to other areas. Roxanne was a joy to work with and so happy I met her...she is from South Africa and has a real joy and passion for helping people. She was there to arrange cars for us and a package I had to send off after we left....they was another young lady who was also very helpful and in the evenings a fellow who was the same. They have good staff here. Yes a bit quirky but I have stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years and each one makes up our travel memories, for better or for worse. This one would rate 'for better'.
