This is overall great place in a good safe area. It was 78 pesos in a car from the airport. The decor is very chic and stylish(see pic). All the artwork is available for sale. The reception desk staff spoke good enough English. They will give you a free map and tell you about any sites if asked. They had 2 high speed internet terminals in their lounge area. I do have 2 negatives about this place that are worth noting: You couldn't adjust the showerhead and it was one of those half glass shower doors. The water sprayed out all over the floor and I slipped and almost smashed my head on the bidet. (which could have been a very unpleasant accident!) Tip: make sure you have plenty of towels on the floor. Second, breakfast is around the corner. I walked in with my voucher and they ignored me so I sat down and they ignored me, so I got up and left and handed the voucher back to the hotel. Either skip the breakfast or pay the extra 5 pesos and they will bring it your room. The hotel should do this for everyone or not offer it all together.

I can't believe the complainers! I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel. First, the room was perfect. Clean and huge! Second, the staff were incredibly friendlily. For the 4 days that we were there, we met about 8 staff members. All went out of their wy to accommodate us. In fact, one reception person spent hours trying to get trough to a restaurant to make a reservation for us.

The breakfast was fine. Nothing wonderful, but certainly enough to get you through to lunch. And yes, it was a block away. Who cares! You should be up and about anyway - there's lots to see in BA!

We spent our first night in BA at the Loi Suites because the Ayres was booked. There is no comparison. The Loi Suites (that everyone raves about) was one of the worst hotels we have ever been. The staff were bitchy, the breakfast room was so crowded we had to wait forever and the place was so noisy, we were up all night.

Kudos to the Ayres - you can't find a better hotel in Recoleta!

I was a bit disappointed by the Ayres and felt the quality was not up to the price. The room was adequate in size but extremely cold. I did not get much of a response to my complaint but did get a second blanket when requested. The staff was a bit stand-offish and, like others have stated, the breakfast around the corner was too far, too slow and not that great. Upon checking in the phone was not working. The next day came a note stating the water would be turned off (although it wasn't). The location is very convenient and safe. The entire Recoleta area is pleasant to walk around and close to museums, etc. The Arnesto Wine shop was excellent. I would try another hotel if I were returning.

We booked this hotel through Manuela at argentinaconnoi.com. We were very happy to receive a penthouse room with a beautiful large deck overlooking the Recoleta cemetery. It was clean and comfortable and equipped with a small kitchen.

The staff was very friendly and amazingly helpful. We received restaurant and tour recommendations from them and used their baggage service as well. The free in-house internet connection was really handy.

I am not sure what would constitute a better location, but this one is pretty darn good.
