La Lonja Holidays from £1,371

The property is not in a hotel district, but near the bustling commercial strip of Santa Fe Avenue. I was not impressed by the Palermo shopping mall (nothing to do with hotel but 2 blocks away); it has no soul. The Recoleta urban market and the San Telmo market were both more appealing. The Eco Bulnes is a block from a subte stop. A carrefour supermarket is 2 blocks away. There are likely dozens of cafes 2-3 blocks from the hotel. There was always someone at the desk. You have to be buzzed in to enter the lobby, but this always took less than a minute. It does make you feel very safe, although the neighborhood and Buenos Aires, both felt very safe. The rooms have one universal plug that takes both European and American plugs. If you wish to plug in more than one device or charger with the foreign prongs, you will need either an extension with multiple outlets or to buy some converter. I believe I saw them for sale at various shops along Santa Fe, I bought one while I was in the USA. The cafe linked to the hotel gives you a 10-15% discount for breakfast, but as I said, Buenos Aires is saturated with cafes. The TV has dozens of channels, but nearly all in Spanish (RAI is one of them); they have CNN Latino (based in either Mexico or Columbia). Then again, you are traveling to a mainly Spanish speaking country. The desk staff was very courteous. I was not bothered by noise, an occasional dog barked at night, but Argentine's love their dogs. This was a clean comfortable room.

Excellent breakfast, beautiful lobby with French pastry cafe.
