Avellaneda Aparts & Suites
This hotel is absolutely charming—comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. The staff are incredibly attentive and helpful, always ready to assist with local tips or recommendations. The rooms are spacious, with large, very comfortable beds and effective climate control that keeps the room cozy year-round. One thing to note: the hotel is located in a bustling commercial district with heavy daytime traffic, making parking nearly impossible during the day. However, at night, parking is much easier—there are usually spots right on the street nearby. Overall, this place offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a convenient, well-run stay in the heart of the city, this is an excellent choice.
Hotel Torre
The front desk and bar staff were very friendly and attentive during our stay. However, the hotel's website contains outdated information—specifically, it claims that rooms have safes, which isn’t true, and the check-in and check-out times listed are incorrect. It would be great if they could update their online details to avoid confusion for future guests. Despite these issues, the overall experience was decent, and the value for money is acceptable. With a few improvements, this place could really stand out.
Hotel Litoral Cerca de Movistar Arena
Perfect for what we needed. Everything was great. We were able to check in early, which was super helpful since we only had one night and were attending an event right next to the hotel—Movistar Arena. It was ideal for dropping off our backpacks before heading out. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the price was unbeatable—we found nothing better anywhere else. The hotel itself is quite old and shows a few signs of wear in certain areas, but it’s still clean, comfortable, and well-located. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back for a similar event. Bonus points: the Subte Line B station is literally at the door—just 10 meters away on the same sidewalk, with direct access from Calle Corrientes, running right past the Obelisco. And on the same block, two traditional Buenos Aires pizzerias—one at each corner—offer authentic local flavors. A true gem for convenience and food lovers alike.
