We spent 4 nights at this hotel in Dec. 2007. As a tourist we selected this hotel for it's central location. The room is a bit worn bur clean. Fair warning, the bathroom has a strange layout so it's actually quite tight. And if you like quiet this may not be a good choice since it's on a busy street front and back.

The first thing we recognized was the the friendly and professional service during our whole stay. The location is perfect .. near Porto Madero and the Pacifico shopping mall. However, it's a noisy area with two or more streets with heavy traffic. The rooms are quite big and clean, but a little worn down. Still, I would go back any time.

Nice overall choice for anyone planning to take the ferry to Uruguay for the day and for easy access to downtown, Galerias Pacifico and Florida Street. Spacious rooms built much like HI Express rooms everywhere. Recently refurbished with newer bedding and carpet. Attractive lobby...decent breakfast bar wiith local pasteries, cereal, yogurt, juice, and fruit. Computer center with five stations and free use of printer. Local calls are free. Early checkin based on availability (I checked in at 10AM, no problem). Phone the hotel directly for best rates...or play with different options on the HI website. I paid US100 per night for a king bed. Bottom line...stay here for the convenience to downtown/ferry/Puerto Madero areas and for comfortable, predictable rooms...do not stay here if you are insearch of a charming neighborhood and a hotel oozing with local charm.

I did like that hotel because of its location. It is a very good value for money. The breakfast was fantastic.
