NH Buenos Aires 9 de Julio

No air conditioner with 40 degrees and in a bad state

The location is ideal and in the centre of Buenos Aires, close to the Obelisk. I was fortunate to be upgraded which added to my stay. The staff on reception spoke English which helped a lot with my limited Spanish. It was a nice comfortable satay and would recommend to anyone.

Great value hotel in excellent location, super friendly and polite staff - very all encompassing breakfast - the only small negative was not being able to order breakfast by room service prior to 7 am when the restaurant opened, a minor set back for an otherwise excellent stay in all respects - The room was superb and Thomas was really helpful organising tours for the two non-work days i had - he fixed me up for Tigre delta valley, did the city by bus and a day trip to Colonia de Sacramento in Uruguay, thanks Thomas.

Great location and very large and comfortable room. Fridge in the room. The negative was that the front desk was not helpful with getting a cab for us that would accept credit cards, dollars or exchange our dollars for pesos. They directed me to an ATM, but they weren't working. They would not call the taxis that take credit cards (which do exist, I took one from the airport, but they are not "radio taxi" which is what the hotel uses). Ultimately it was a very unpleasant scramble on the last day of our trip to try to get to the airport for our flight and to pay the taxi driver for the trip. Unfortunate lack of hospitality.

We only stayed for 1 night before our flight home. We were able to book in early morning with a small extra cost and the following day our luggage was stored until we departed to the airport for our night flight. We had a room overlooking the 9 Julio, a very large busy road, but there was no noise inside. We ate dinner and breakfast there, both excellent. Friendly staff and clean comfortable room complete the picture. A great experience.
