Grand King Hotel

The location is the best possible, with easy access to the subway and close to most city attractions. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable.

The double room we had booked was not available, so we had to stay in a twin room. The staff said the beds would be joined, what never happened, even though we asked again the next morning. Also, the linens for one of the beds were initially missing, which we were given a request, but we had to make the bed ourselves.

The hotel is right on the pedestrian street, Lavalle, in the heart of the micro-center of the city. Easy access to restaurants, tourist attractions, subway/taxis. The rooms we stayed in were the non-renovated rooms, so they were as clean as can be expected of pretty old furniture and bathroom fixtures. From the rooms that face the street, you can open the window and look down on some of the street entertainment taking place on the corner of Florida.

The free wireless internet was available only in the lobby and you wait while the receptionist goes through a cumbersome process to get an access code, only to find out it's good for one hour. I didn't like that the beds were all twin-size, even if you have 3 people. When I asked for a double-size bed, there was nothing available unless I wanted to pay quite a bit more. I didn't like that the mini-fridge is locked and you have to ask to have it opened. Also, I would have preferred that the "included" breakfast be available until 11am or so. We didn't get going early enough in the mornings, after enjoying late evening dinners out on the town in Argentine fashion, to take advantage of it. The only reason I might not recommend this hotel is because there are so many to choose from in that area - you might get all the advantages without the disadvantages somewhere else.

Convenient l;ocation to everything, good value for the money. Breakfast was very good!

Staff at the Front Desk were not very friendly at times if you had questions. Coulbe be that I spoke English. Patricio was great!
