For the location, downtown, this is a great value and good quality. If you don't like the busy, well littered, BA microcentro for shopping and eating, then go elsewhere. My first time here and it was very good.
Local contact got a low rate of 106.00/ night; room was clean, comfy, well lit, bath was very clean and all adequate in size. I preferred the other side of Av Cordoba where it is closer to Plaza San Martin, which I find less grimy. [Sol Melia BA is a step up and nearer to San Martin.] This side of the avenue has other pedestrian streets which are fun to stroll. Numerous restaurants and so I make a point not to eat at hotel. Hotel restaurant/bar is really quaint.
Staff all pretty friendly over my 4 nights. Main issue was my lost reservation due to a system failure the very day my reservation was made by phone. Staff gets a 3.5 star rating overall. Good but not Marriott/Ritz / Hyatt/ Alvear.
As I am there for business, I need the basics and can tolerate other things. Wireless was weak in room so the lobby or brkfast room was better choice; not so convenient if you feel like relaxing. Not a big shopper but good browsing/buying and eating all nearby at Florida St. Go to Poppy's for leather.
IF I were spending a full weekend or vacation, I would go to Recoleta or Palermo that have more classy feel. Overall, the hotel was very good and great price for location.

After having read the reviews of the Amerian here and seen a recommendation for it in a guide book we decided to use it as our base for four nights in Buenos Aires. What an excellent desicion! The location was superb - we could walk to Calle Florida, Plaza San Martin, Plaza de Mayo, and Puerto Madero. For anywhere else we wanted to go, taxis were easy to find and the rides were short and inexpensive. The rooms were large and comfortable. The only downside was the shower which just had a glass wall across half of it and very strong water pressure which meant when we first turned it on we showered the whole bathroom! We soon figured out how to do it, but it was also a bit tricky getting in and out of it with the wall there. Otherwise everything was great. The breakfasts were excellent with lots of different choices and the hotel staff were quite helpful. There was also free internet in the lobby with three computers and we were usualy able to find a time when we could get on one of them - very helpful when we had to change plans at the last minute. Last, but not least, we had a little balcony off our room that was nice for going out to check the weather before leaving for the day or evening. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a reasonably priced, comfortable, convenient location in Buenos Aires.

We stayed there one night in February. The room was large and comfortable. The staff were very helpful.

The location was not especially good unless you came to do power shopping. It's very close to Florida St. The hotel has large tour groups that take up a lot of the lobby as they are checking in.

There isn't much of a restaurant and you have to walk a number of blocks to get to a restaurant. The area is commercial and not residential so it's not that pleasant to walk in at night. The price was good but I would rather stay in the hotel in Recoleta where it is more pleasant to walk.

Just got back from my trip to Buenos Aires and I stayed at this hotel for four nights and don't regret it at all. Everyone in the staff was helpful with information and very pleasant. The breakfast was great. It had so many choices, great fruit even delicious brownies! There are pcs for internet use at your disposal in the lobby. The room was spacious enough for two people and the marble bathroom was great. The hotel was located in a great area. It was so close to everything. Galerias Pacifica which is the shopping mall was only a block away as well as Florida street (pedestrian street). You can also walk to Puerto Madero, Plaza San Martin and Plaza Mayo. I noticed a lot of other hotels were in an alley, hardly noticeable. This was great with a big u shaped driveway and big lobby. If I ever go again I would definitely stay here as well as I would recommend it to anyone.
