We decided to spend a few days exploring Buenos Aires after disembarking from a cruise ship. This was a great location for us, and the hotel a good value, from which to explore different neighborhoods of the city. The subway is a few easily walked blocks away. Also nearby are banks, ATMS, stores, pharmacies, cafes, restaurants, and more. We liked not being in the midst of the city center, with its crowds and noise. Coming back to our cool, comfortable room in Almagro was relaxing.
The staff was very helpful when we needed to leave our bags and, when we left, order a taxi.
