The rooms at this hotel are basic but clean - if you can stand a bit of traffic noise,
try to secure one with a balcony. More spacious (and more expensive) rooms are avail-
able, and there's a good, modern bar-restaurant where breakfast is served. From here it's
an easy tramp to either Plaza del Congreso or Plaza de Mayo. Pay in cash and save 10%.

Despite its name this hotel is not grand, but it is good - and a good deal. Down-
stairs rooms are a bit dark (get one upstairs) and showers in general are small, but the
simple, high-ceilinged rooms are comfortable enough for non-fussy travelers - just don't
expect many services. The tiled lobby and hallways are long and narrow, and there are a
few old touches that add some personality.

This well-maintained hostel is located off the tourist path in an atmo-
spheric neighborhood. Rooms are small but pleasant and the good common areas include
a nice kitchen, dining and living room, airy patio hallways and a pleasant rooftop terrace
with
asado
(barbecue) grill and hammocks in summer. There's occasional live music on
weekends, plus a ping-pong table, foosball and bike rentals.

Located south of Congreso in Montserrat, this is a beautiful 1850s guest-
house offering 11 simple, colorful rooms, all decorated differently with rustic yet upscale
furniture. They all surround three lovely outdoor patios, which are accented with original
tiles and leafy plants - the last one has a grassy garden. Breakfast includes fresh fruit,
yogurt, and eggs to order. It's a quiet little paradise in a nontouristy neighborhood.
Reserve ahead.
