I am torn. This is a great boutique hotel and it is the perfect location (Retiro near Recoleta).
Here's my dilemma. Sharing my great find with Yelpland could mean others will stay here which means higher prices and limited availability when I return. .... You heard it right. WHEN I return. But, it really is an amazing hotel for its price point of approximately $120- $150 US dollars per night. So, I guess I can manage to get over my selfish needs and tell you about my stay here and all that Argenta has to offer.
Location
- one block from July 9th Avenue - the largest street in Buenos Aires (once the largest street in the world until Brazil decided to up the antee)
- four blocks from The San Martin Plaza and Florida Street.
- Puerto Madero and Palermo are less than 10 minutes away by taxi or a nice 25 minute walk.
If you want to take the bus or subway, each are close options as well.
In addition to these landmarks, it is surrounded by banks, shopping, bakeries and restaurants all within a few steps from the hotel door.
Rooms
The rooms are very nice. Each room is equipped with a desk, full kitchen and dining table with chairs. The refrigerator has items for purchase but there is a also room for leftovers and cold beverages.
Wash cloths are not provided. Hand towels and Bath towels only. If you are not accustomed to bathing without them, bring your own.
The room has central air and heat but you are not able to use both at leisure. During fall, if the temperature is cool, only the heater works. On warmer days, no heater. So, those who use the AC year round, this may create a problem for you. The window provided great relief as we prefer a cool room at night.
