I booked this hotel through a flight/hotel deal, and wasn't sure what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised- the room was sparkling and spacious, with a large bathroom and separate wetbar/eating area with a table and chairs. The surrounding neighborhhood is quiet- there's a church next door. If you're a walker, you can get down to the redeveloped port area, ferry terminal, or the posh area of Recoleta in 15-20 mins. I walked all over the city, and found that the hotel was well situated to a tourist's needs. There are very nice restaurants within a few blocks and lovely museums. Having the Plaza San Martin and its Metro stop nearby is great too. I'd certainly stay here again!

I just returned from a week long stay at the Argenta Towers. For the money, this is a great value and location. The staff was attentive and although fairly young, did not project a 'too cool for school' attitude. I stayed in a room with 2 twin beds and a kitchenette. The bathroom was a bit small but looks like it had recently been redone. The rooms are fairly plain but again for the location, you can't beat the Argenta. The only recommendation I would have for the Argenta would be to get some more comfortable pillows. They have a small gym area on the 12th floor that my father and I used every day. The free breakfast buffet was a plus. They don't have a hotel bar or lounge but you're so close to all kinds of cafes and restaurants so that this really was not a concern. I would defintely consider staying here the next time I am in Buenos Aires. Also, I got this room through Wow Argentina. They are a Buenos Aires based travel agency. They did an awesome job arranging tours, shows etc as well as a side trip to Iguazu Falls, and I highly recommend them as well.

This was our base hotel in Buenos Aires and I thought it was a great location for getting around the city and more than met our needs for a comfortable, clean place to relax in.

We stayed here for a week, and absolutely loved the neighborhood (Retiro), which seemed largely residential and business, rather than a strictly tourist area. Lots of great shops and restaurants nearby, with laundries, ATM, takeout food, newsstands,and groceries just steps away. Our experience was that the neighborhood was safe to walk around in day or night. Staff helpful about making calls, reservations, etc. The hotel is nice enough but rooms can be noisy; if you are in the -01 suite on any floor, that will be right on Juncal, which is a very busy road that is a bus route. If you dislike noise (as I do), ask for a room off Juncal; the -09 suite is in the back of the building, and is very quiet except for the noise you will hear from the room above you, which can be considerable depending on who is staying there. Also, good breakfast served at the hotel.
