“For a simple Buenos Aires stay, this hotel holds its own, particularly given its proximity to Retiro, Florida, and Puerto Madero. I think the breakfast is pretty standard fare for Argentina, so that's a plus if you want a local experience. The building has history, but the rooms are adequately sized with decent mattresses and functional bathrooms.”
