The property is older, but it appears to be under some renovation. The location is a 10 minute walk to the shops on Florida Street, which is a top tourist shopping attraction. Staff were excellent on both stays at the hotel. They helped with directions, suggestions and with money conversion at a reasonable rate USD to pesos. The air conditioning worked well. Room was very clean and the bed comfortable. The hotel needs to have some paint renewal on the trim, but overall is in very good condition, The breakfast program (eggs, coffee, juice, potatoes, tomatoes, fruit, and pastries) is a plus. You must try the Cinqo5 restaurant. Best steak we have ever had. The Safari supermarket is just across the street (water and kleenex etc). The hop on and off bus is just a 5 minute walk away. We would return to this centrally located hotel in an older section of Bueonos Aires.
