Right
opposite the massive customs building near the river, this colorful hostel makes up in
location and laid-back atmosphere what it lacks in facilities. Set around patios, it offers a
helpful welcome, good social scene and activities. The six-bed dorms are comfortable
enough; bathrooms are just adequate.
Barisit House Hotel

; Laprida 1311; s/d AR$450/550; )
Go for one of the
upstairs front rooms in this converted historic house to enjoy the romance of original
floorboards, high ceilings, windows and balconies. The modern rooms are similarly at-
tractively decorated and significantly more quiet. The personal small-hotel atmosphere is
a real drawcard. Rates are 20% cheaper midweek.

Even among the many elegant early-20th-century buildings
of Rosario, this art nouveau gem is a stand-out. It's a flawless contemporary conversion;
rooms feature modern conveniences that blend well with the centenarian features. An in-
door pool, elegant cafe-bar and roof garden are among the attractions. It's popular for
events, so don't expect a peaceful stay.
Hotel Plaza del Sol

; San Juan 1055; s/d AR$590/790; )
Despite a
tired facade, the renovated rooms here feel new and look good; most are very spacious,
all have balconies, and beds are comfortable. It's the best of the clutch of hotels on Plaza
Montenegro; there's a gym, sauna, sundeck and heated indoor pool on the 11th floor, as
well as helpful service. It's decent value, especially if you grab a discount by shopping
around online.
