“Good experience”

Altough its a bit old, I recommend staying in the hotel, the staff is really friendly, the location is highly convenient and safe (altough you should avoid walking inside the plaza at night), there is a metro station right besides it, and the price is good.

“Great value for money”

This hotel is old, but has a fascinating atmosphere. I really liked the place. The location is perfect and the room was clean. The staff was friendly and always ready to help. You can try delicious food for a reasonable price at Borgatta (the restaurant right next to the hotel). There is also a supermarket and a pharmacy shop.

“Great location, old hotel”

2 Congresos is located right in front Argentinian National Congreso, at walking distance to the Obelisco and diferent turistic plazas. The area architecture is classic and this is an old hotel but the people working there is friendly and helpful. Not sure about safety of the area because nothing happened to us, but of course you always should be cautious. You can get buses to pretty much all the touristic places from there. I would go back there.

“Disappointing Accomodation”

On a five week trip to several cities in Argentina, we found that Dos Congresos was, without doubt, the worst three star hotel in which we stayed. Our first room was over the plaza, perhaps the busiest area of Buenos Aires. If you were to have this room, not only would you get no sleep until two in the morning due to the thousands of cars, buses and people under your window, but you would find a small, cheap bed in a tiny, dingy room with almost no furniture. It was depressing. Refusing this, our second room on the interior of the hotel, overlooking a dark shaft of concrete, had a sleeping loft and double bed, adequate but rating only a one-star designation, at best. All the bathroom fixtures were either cracked or broken. The plastic toilet seat was falling off, the small shelf under the mirror was broken and mold was permeating the grout in the shower and all corners of the floor. We booked this hotel partly based on the photographs, which were taken with a close-up, “fisheye” type lens, which makes the lobby and the rooms look far larger than they are. On the plus side, the breakfast was decent, and there was a mini-bar in the room. In short, I would not recommend this hotel.

“It sucks”

This Hotel is a dive. The first room I was given had a broken lock which made impossible for me to either enter or leave the room without calling someone to open the door. I requested another room and was shown a room with twin beds, which is not what I was supposed to be given. I was than given an inside room overlooking a dirty roof with a noisy vent outside my window. I asked for another room and was told that there were no other rooms available except for another inside room with twin beds. By that time i was so disgusted and tired that I took it. Only one pillow had a pillow case and I had to beg for another pillow case, There was a third pillow in the closet which I wanted to use since the pillows were very thin. I was told I couldn't have anther pillow case. This hotel would probably be rated as minus three stars. Yuck!
