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.
