Balvanera hotels

The hotel was nice and it's staff particularly the manager helpful and friendly. It had a much more extensive breakfast than typical Argentinean hotels have. The wifi was not great in the room, but was excellent in the lobby and there is a computer available there, too and it is possible to print out tickets or other documents. One thing new to us Gringos: there is a slot you must put your room key into in order to get the electricity including the AC to work (it's actually a good environmental policy though of course done for them to save money). The slot is near the door. Good view of the Congress building from our shower or the rooftop.

room was clean and that was the most important thing, because i did not come to Buenos Aires to stay at the hotel, so the amenities did not really matter. Staff was very friendly and helpful. they had cereal for breakfast, but again, you get what you pay for. Food in Buenos Aires was never a problem.

This was my second trip to Buenos Aires and on this occasion I was travelling alone, visiting friends in the city. It was important for me to find somewhere to stay that was central for my activities, where people were helpful and that I felt safe.

Reception was perfect. Location also very close to metro station.

Nice clean and modern room, great breakfast buffet included in the price. The hotel location is very good, across the street from the Abasto Shopping Mall, and a few minutes away from downtown BA by subway. The subway entrance is just a few steps away from the hotel. A few niceties include an in-room safe and wall outlets that take American-style plugs for appliances capable of using 220V (e.g., iPod or laptop chargers). Highly recommended.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel the first two nights in BA, the staff were so helpful that after a trip to Uruguay we booked in here again. It can be a bit noisy between 930pm and 1130pm while their Tango show is on, but this didnt bother us. The rooms are up stairs so if you have difficulty with stairs this hotel is not a good option. This hotel is about a 10 - 15 min walk to the subway and buses going to the main attractions leave close by. The office staff will point you in the right direction. The Tango show they offer is a good show!

Everything was great, from the delicious breakfast (hot milk, pastries, salami, cheese, bread, tea, coffee, jam, cocoa, yogurt, cereals) to the room facilities. We had a suite, with two spacious room, fridge, safe, and microwave. Staff was extremely kind and helpful (well, with the exception of one member, otherwise professional, but not extremely pleasant nor flexible: he did not allow us to make an urgent local phone call from the reception but sent us to our room to make the call; also, he did not allow us to stay in our room longer than the check-out time (our plane was at 9 pm). All our friends who talked to other staff members were allowed to stay longer, without any additional charge. We were asked to pay $ 50 USD for a couple of hours, which we did not agree, so here we were, wondering through the city for a few more hours. Other than this, the staff was very kind, humorous and always helpful. I recommend this hotel. It is close to Avenida Corrientes. Also, to the Faculty of Sciences, University of Buenos Aires. It is clean and quiet. Worth the price.

After my bad experience with the more expensive Hotel Olmo who sold my room to a tour while I was still a guest at there Hotel .....One of the staff there suggested that I move to the Bet Hotel down the street. Even-tho they weren't as large as the other Hotel nore did they have the all the other stuff. The One thing they did have was kindness, from the owner to the owners son down to every member of their staff. I lived there for 25 or more days, which allow me to get to every member of their staff by name .Every staff member greeted every morning with a smile and went out of their way to help me, even with my bad or should I say "zero" spanish. They even gave me suggestions on where to look for an apartment. Before I left I made sure to buy the owner and his son a nice bottle of wine just to say thanks. I must say for the cost it is a wonderful place to stay
