Argentina hotels & accommodations

an excellent stay.room is nice with lots of wine selections. hotel manager serves excellent breakfast and exclusive vip service. nearby there is good and cheap laundry. A good restaurant next door. with good mussels and red wine pear. Public bus behind hotel. quite a few blocks to walk to subway stations and 9 blocks to sunday market.

In a great location for accessing all the main sites and the happy hour deals are great value, but beware. We booked and paid in full in advance thinking this would ensure the best price. It did not! The rates by the day we arrived were less than half what we paid, and we should have cancelled and rebooked to save money.

I recently booked the intercontinental BA for a 3 night stay. Unfortunately prior to my check-in the water tank had exploded and the hotel was left with no hot water and complete shut down of some of the facilities on the main floor. The gym on the main floor and restaurants were affected. The situation could have been handled better. Not having hot water and s...

Had the best three days ever. We were only in Buenos Aires for three days and relied on the team for recommendations and arrangements. From picking us up in the airport, booking a small guided tour, best tango show and exchanging dollars at a competitive rate, there is nothing negative I have to stay. Thank you so much! I should also say that the breakfast service ...

Hilton staff were very helpful especially when we were trying to organise things to do at the last moment.Impressed with the late booking to a Tango show where we ended up with fantastic seats. Rooms a very good size with a modern bathroom. Puerto Madero is a safe place to walk if one wants to or a cheap taxi ride when visiting other parts of the city.

Hotel was great, huge comfortable bed, breakfast included eggs and fresh fruit. The parking situation needs to be improved. We were directed to park in the car park next door. Normally in Buenos Aires, they take your keys and park the car for you. Not here. We were told there were reserved spaces for Dazzler guests on the ground floor and on the 3rd basement. They wer...

My favourite hostel in BA. I stayed in a dorm with an ensuite, it wasn't cramped, everyone had plenty of space/air. Definitely a cut above the rest, which explains the price (that said, I rate Portal del Sur which is cheaper than this one and is clean, safe and great). If you're a GoT fan, you can watch it on the Circus Hostel tv (they have HBO) on Mondays. The place j...

all rooms have street view, some with nice big balconies. single rooms are tiny. located on major avenue. clientele mostly brazilian, spanish latinos, younger gringos and people looking for inexpensive hostelry. for those who have been shlepping around south america on the cheap with their backpacks, the mundial will be the lap of luxury. for all others, spend a little...

The hotel is very close to plaza Mayo and other places that you would like to visit as a tourist.we booked superior room which I believe is the best room in the hotel, big, high ceiling and good view of the street, although a bit noisy. Staff is nice to help to book the tango show and we got the best table. The owner is very kind too. Overall a pleasant stay.

Beautiful casa with stunning views of the Andes. Very close to popular wineries, possible to bike to some of them. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is similar to most hotels in Argentina, adequate but nothing special. Rooms are big and beautifully laid out as too are the bathrooms.

The location of this hotel in the Montserrat area is perfect for us to explore the neighbouring areas of San Telmo and downtown Florida Street by foot. The staff was indifferent, the room was small but comfortable, the breakfast was great (the best in all the Argentinean hotels we have stayed at) and the food at their restaurant was excellent!

Nice hotel, clean, bathroom was modern. We paid a lot, 2 hundred American, probably because we booked last minute during high season - probably not worth that, but what can you do during high season. Good location right in downtown, maybe 15min from tourist info. Good wifi throughout. Tip = Unrelated to hotel, go do the penguin tour to that Island, best tour we've eve...

Okay value for money. But overall bad design, LED lights over bed are extremely striking but if you off the LED, the room becomes too dark. Bath room a little too small whereas room itself have decent space and design. Air condition cannot be controlled and the room becomes very warm during winter time. I had to open the windows but you can hear noises due to echo from...

Rooms are small but not as small as Tokyo or NYC hotels. Rooms are well appointed and have tv, good lighting, heating ( if not a little stuffy). Shampoo, conditioner and soap provided along with good towels. Continental breakfast provided included: juice, tea/coffee,bread, toast,fruit, fruit salad and pastries. Staff were obliging, including organising taxis and airlin...

We found the grounds serene with a beautiful swimming pool. The room was excellent and the bed comfortable! Food was good with a limited menu but nice not to have to go out for f you didn't want to. Excellent location to get to all wine regions. They hired an excellent driver for us and we visited the uco valley. Highly recommend!!!

We requested double bed they gave two single beds. We came back to the same hotel after 3 days and did make same request. At the check in time they said kitty will cost extra$15 for double bed! Finally they did give but there was no tea kettle in the room.

My friends and I stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. Upon arrival, the excellent service which extended throughout the entire stay was on offer. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable (their beds are the kind where you'll wake up wanting to spend more time in) with nice boutique hotel decor. Location is fantastic (in the Palermo area) where restaurants / bars and...

The staff was very nice and helpful. The apartment was clean. However, the apartment windows are on the ground floor directly next to the footpath. People walked past all night long yelling, laughing etc. Cars, rubbish trucks emptying the bins outside made it almost impossible to sleep. This noise continued all night, every night. The back door did not close. We re...
Cheap places to stay in Argentina

I stayed two nights in this hostel and can definitely recommend it. Everything was clean all the time. The kitchen has a lot of equipment, my bed was comfortable and the room very big. In case I will be again in El Calafate I will ask to stay there again. Muchas gracias!

Mix feelings about this hostel, location was good, the rooms far too small and cramped, rules too strict and not welcoming, owner/ receptionist don’t make you feel welcome, they don’t allow you to leave your bag if you are not staying meaning if you check out you have to leave the hostel, even if you need to leave your bag and comeback to pick it up later.

When i got there, the staff told me that the reservation info they had didn't match my date on my voucher. They could not give me a room in the beginning. However, the staff was very helpful. She was calling and found out that it was a mistake from the central agent. She suggested that i might stay in another hostel and dealt with the issue with Agoda afterwards. I did...

Mati is absolutely wonderful - he is so accommodating, kind and goes out of his way to help in whatever you need, make you feel at home and treat you like family. He even gave me his own jacket so I was warm when I went out at night (even though he probably needed it himself). He has been such a wonderful person to have stayed with. The hostel is great value for money,...

When arriving, the stuff helped me with whatever i needed. the ambient is homey and young. The toilet are always clean and the kitchen as well. The beds are comfi, and my room was cleaned daily. I had hot water in the shower, good shower. Strong wifi. Great location, one of the best places ive stayed in

It is a shame that they charge the 21% tax to everyone, including foreigners. I stayed twice in this guesthouse, the first time I was lucky to get availability for a twin room which was very nice, big and comfortable, with a very clean and big bathroom with bathtub. My second stay was in a 6 bed dorm which was probably the worst dorm of my stay in Argentina & Chile - t...

Pros: Clean rooms and relatively clean common areas including kitchen and bathrooms. Located just a short walk from bus terminal in this small town. Common area includes living room and dining area where people can hang out. Cons: Staff does not allow guests to use kitchen after check-out, so if you are planning to cook on the same day before your evening/night b...

Well, this hostel was certainly a gem. Set in hippie El Bolson, it has compost onsite and an eco-minded atmosphere. If you want a cool spot to hang out with like-minded young adults in their 20’s, this is the spot. With hammocks on the property and a short walk to a beach on a river, this place has it all! It was also packed despite it being the shoulder season, so boo...

Pros - Excellent location in the heart of San Telmo. Staff helpful and friendly. Beds private with USB slots and shelf. Good WiFi. Negs - Shower room is a space struggle, like playing Tetris. Sneaky percentage added when paying by card, this is not common place in Argentina. Breakfast is offered at a price, ample, but offered free elsewhere in country. Kitchen is inc...

The beds are really comfortable and the facility is really nice with good wifi in almost every location. However, I could not sleep at night because it was SO hot. Even with fans and the windows open it was too uncomfortable and actually the reason I left. The kitchen is quite large and stilled well with equipment which is such a shame because I would've stayed longer ...

The stuff was amazing, breakfast was good but the standard of room was, hm let's call it mistake. Old bathroom with mould on the walls and leaking wc, old furniture that need to be replaced, one source of light. Will do for 1-3 nights if you just sleep in the room. Wifi in room did not worked for the most of the time, we had to go to the corridor to find the signal.

This was not bad at all, as far as hostels go, the staff had no problem changing a fw details for us and happily spoke English or Spanish according to preference... A short walk to the center and around the corner from the Tarquino Restaurant makes it a nice location with a great view. Lots of extra provisions and all round up to scratch!!

Location could be better as is not in central of the Town but at least I could have a nice walk back. Very good selection of food for breakfast. Very friendly staff who spoke English which was very helpful. I was very surprise when on my arrival as the hostel was very specious and clean. People say that it could be quite cold in hostel in April, but it wasn’t a case a...

Price is not expensive, I use SGD 180 around to book 2 night double room... Staff is nice, can solve my inquiry, e.g. local tour, foreign exchange, etc... Good location, go to main street around 5 mins and supermarket is 10-15 mins, depend which supermarket you want to go....

I thought I was pretty terrible value for money by Argentinian standards. The room was unpleasant and unclean. Breakfast was appalling (coffee, cheap bread and jam) by the standard of other places we have stayed (often for cheaper prices). We didn't use the kitchen. All in all it was a pretty bad place to stay.

Pros were location in Recoleta, charming, helpful English speaking staff and the other guests, generally enjoyed my time here but..... Cons, it just felt very dirty, shower rooms need major update, floors generally filthy despite cleaner doing her best and mattresses/pillows not great either...

It's a heaven you step into at the Azur Real out of the city after a good full day of sightseeing, walking, touring, exploring ... The staff across areas of the hotel, every one of them, is so lovely & genuine, kindly extending themselves to make things easy & comfortable for the guest. ... The breakfast room which is the restaurant for the remainder of the day is very...

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights on our trip to El Calafate. The hotel is located a bit out of town so you will need a car to access it or use taxis for transport. However, I think it is worth it. The hotel is located on a hill and you have great views to the lake. The garden is beautiful and well maintained too. We really liked our room! Bed was really comfortabl...

I'm going to miss the Bulnes Eco Suites hotel. We stayed here several times in the last month as we traveled around Argentina. The rooms are very comfortable and clean and all the staff are friendly and efficient. The location is great, one block off of Av. Santa Fe in the Palermo district with good shopping, restaurant,and transit all nearby. The breakfast is serve...

The suite is very spacious with good kitchen facility to cook your own meals. The fact that it is situated next to a river, having breakfast in the deck was a great pleasure. It is 10-15 minutes walk to the town. Definately recommend for travellers especially family.

whilst this may not be the most stylish or fancy hotel in el calafate, it is a good bet for the traveller who wants a comfortable stay in a modern hotel very close to the shops. rooms are spacious and service is simple and professional including a nice 'turn-down' service with free chocolates... there's a spa too (and massage service) but we didn't have time for ...

It was good until check out. They staff was giving me an additional bill for adjustment on room rate due to the USD fluctuation. I paid one month in advance, in local currency, and upon check out I was told because my roommate was in USD I had to pay for additional fee. I asked why that is so, was told it is done in all hotels in Argentina. Small amount but I was up...

We stayed five nights at the hotel. It is a lovely decorated hotel and the rooms are nicely themed and spacious, the beds comfortable and showers are hot. The location is great for getting around the City. Breakfast was simple. It had a lovely rooftop terrace which was great to sit back and relax, and listen to the activity of the city. We used the gym it was smal...

This boutique hotel is neither too small nor too large. Staff is friendly and personable. Design is well thought through and elegant. I booked 2 rooms, one of which got upgraded to a suite. Standard rooms are rather smallish, but the suite was ideal. Though small, the rooftop terrace is pleasant in the heat of summer. The hotel's location in Palermo is ideal, within wa...

The hotel is very clean, modern and spacious and in a excellent location. The building itself is beautiful and some of the original features have been maintained, such as the pretty tiling in the bar area. The restaurant is on the lower ground floor, where an excellent buffet breakfast is served; at other times an a la carte menu is offered, and the restaurant is noted...

The only problem we experienced was some sort of misunderstanding between the hotel and Agoda, so that our booking was nor recognised at fisrt; however, we were given a room without delay, while trying to find out was was wrong: luckily, everything was solved after a while and our booking (and prepayment!) was finally found. If this turns out to be just an occasional ...
Luxury hotels in Argentina

I loved my time here at Arakur, the hotel is amazing. It was about twice the price of other hotels in Ushuaia but at least 10 times as good. The views during the day, sunset and at night are stunning. The outdoor spa and pool are beautiful with a magnificent view. The restaurant serves great food, rooms are tastefully styled and the staff were wonderful. I can't reco...

The grande dame is starting to show her wrinkles. Cataratas Hotel, km 4 of Rte 12 en route from Puerto Iguazu to Iguazu Falls, Argentina, was obviously the place to be 50 years ago, and perhaps even ten years ago, but now it is need of a facelift and modernization. That said, the food is good and the taxi driver we got ended up being THE number one great experience o...

My wife and I resided at this stately hotel late March 2019 for a few days. We were provided a very comfortable room which had plenty of space, and was very quiet. The hotel was conveniently situated with plenty of luxury boutiques nearby. In terms of guest management, concierge was most helpful in assisting us with all bookings we required, and my wife and I defini...

I had a problem because thay asked us to pay for a Resort Fee. And your booking sheet reservations said that we have payed all the taxas belonging to the hotel. They were annoyed with AGODA for giving us false information. At last they did not ask to pay nothing but they wanted to contact wit you for giving to the hosts, false informations because you did not included ...

This is a very good hotel in an excellent location in Mar del Plata. Breakfast is fantastic and so were the views from the room. this is the best hotel in Mar del Plata by a long shot. It is highly recommended. The rooms were very well appointed, and the quality of the internet wireless connection was second to none (and free).

Very nice room, albeit a little tired in places, and a great location. A great choice of welcome drinks was provided on arrival. However we booked this hotel hoping to use the swimming pool as when we were there it was very sunny and in the late 20s. However the pool is ONLY OPEN DECEMBER TO MARCH. This is a detail we missed when reviewing the Agoda description. Howev...

We really enjoyed staying is this nice and fine design hotel. We are positive about the hotel and would definitly recommend it to others. If being critical we where very disapointed the pool was closed (25degree celcius spring weather). This was not mentioned at booking and not mentioned in the guest information book. When opened is beautifull on the roof with stylisch...

there are not many great hotels in the iguazu area but loi suites really stands out from the moment you enter the property. the design is top notch with a lobby featuring soaring ceilings and a stunning pool with trees in the center of it. it is actually three separate pools that are connected to one another. the staff is very friendly and the second floor restaurant i...

If u cannot get a room at the cataratas or sheraton hotels within the national park - this is a good option - coz provides a view of the intersection of 3 countries paraguay, brazil and argentina from the river view rooms, interesting. But hotel is very poorly maintained - toilet seats are absolutely discolored, bathrooms look worn n old. no complimentary bottle of w...

It is a nice hotel in a good location - 2nd best hotel in Mendoza Pros- Good price, close to lots of shopping & restaurants, staff friendly, Large rooms, good breakfast Cons - If you do not speak Spanish, there is only one TV Channel that is in English & no premium channels, lighting in room a bit dim - especially the bathroom, no irons allowed (lots of people in wrin...

We loved the hotel. It´s cosy, very lovely room with the bath in the center of the room - different but cool idea. It´s near the best restaurants and bars. The cementry is not too far away too. Room has free champagne all day and night. If the bottle is empty you get a new one straight away. Room was always clean.

We stayed for 4 days in Chalten and the hotel was very good. The location is excellent and the room are very nice. Take into consideration that the hotel is made our of wood so you can hear everything around (and if your neighbours are noisy is a bit annoying. The restaurant is OK but you have several good alternatives around. Don't count on the internet connectio...

Stay was amazing. Was there during off-season, and was upgraded to a suite. Had a great time lounging around and also visiting the vineyard (which served superb wine for rock bottom prices). Only issue was the bathtub didn't really have warm water for a bath, but shower was ok. Food was great (except for the steak), but everything else on the menu was great.

Argentina's history is woven through its architecture, cuisine, and traditions, making every corner of the country a delightful discovery. Whether it's sipping Malbec in Mendoza or marveling at the majestic Iguazu Falls, Argentina invites you to explore its many wonders.
The vibrant cities are alive with energy, showcasing a fusion of European elegance and Latin passion. Buenos Aires, known as the "Paris of South America," features elegant boulevards, historic cafés, and a thriving arts scene. Don't miss the iconic Obelisco or the colorful streets of La Boca, where the spirit of tango comes alive. Each region of Argentina has its own character, from the wine country of Mendoza to the breathtaking glaciers of El Calafate. With so much to see and do, Argentina is a destination that captivates the heart and soul.
When to Experience Argentina's Magic
Timing your visit to Argentina can greatly enhance your experience. The country enjoys diverse climates, so the best time to visit often depends on which region you plan to explore. Generally, the peak tourist season runs from December to February, coinciding with summer in the Southern Hemisphere. This is an ideal time to visit Patagonia for hiking and outdoor activities, as the weather is warm and the landscapes are vibrant. However, this period can also see larger crowds and higher prices.
If you prefer milder temperatures and fewer tourists, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and fall (March to May). These months offer pleasant weather for sightseeing in cities like Buenos Aires and Mendoza, where you can enjoy local festivals and cultural events. Winter (June to August) is perfect for skiing in the Andes, with popular resorts such as Cerro Catedral attracting snow enthusiasts. Be sure to check the local calendars for events like the famous Fiesta Nacional de la Vendimia in March, celebrating the grape harvest in Mendoza.
Essential Travel Tips for Your Argentine Adventure
Traveling through Argentina can be an exciting adventure, but being prepared with local customs and tips can make your journey even smoother. Spanish is the official language, and while many people in tourist areas speak English, learning a few basic phrases can go a long way in enhancing your interactions with locals. Simple greetings like “Hola” (Hello) and “Gracias” (Thank you) show respect and appreciation for the culture.
Understanding local dining customs is essential, as meals in Argentina are typically enjoyed late in the evening. Dinner often starts around 9 PM, and asado, a traditional barbecue, is a must-try experience. Be prepared for long meals filled with laughter and conversation. It's also customary to greet with a kiss on the cheek, even among new acquaintances, which adds a warm touch to your interactions. Lastly, always remember to carry cash, as some places may not accept credit cards.
