Quiet Oasis

Pros: Free breakfast, Quiet
Cons: No free Internet
This small hotel is located in Recoletta, one of the nicest areas of the city. Diagonally across the street is a lovely park that does not allow dogs, which was appreciated due to the fact that there is dog feces everywhere else in the city. The room was modern with a platform-type bed, big bathroom with bidet and a massage shower. There was some wear and tear with the room and furnishings, but not enough to be a problem. I did smell cigarette smoke for about three days and I assume it came from the room next door. Breakfast was good--there were a variety of breads, fruit, ham, cheese, cereals and cereals served buffet-style. A word of warning about Buenos Aires--be aware of pick pockets and clerks, taxi drivers, etc. who short change you. My husband and I were robbed by a couple who must have sprayed my head and back with a green liquid that looked like bird droppings. They offered to "help" us, but really just helped themselves to my husband's wallet. Do not allow anyone to touch you!

A very pleasant hotel in a great area for walking around, shopping, and restaurants.

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
The Bel Air is a very convenient hotel, located in a lovely area of Recoletta. The rooms were very comfortable, clean , and quiet, but not overly large. They were certainly very adequate for our needs. There was no view, but we were hardly ever in our room during the daytime so it didn't particularly matter. We appreciated having a mini bar in the room as well as good air conditioning as the weather was in the 90s in December! The staff was very helpful and pleasant. The breakfasts were very nice, fruit salad and yogurt, eggs, potatoes, ham and cheese as well as lovely breads and pastries. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced and well-located hotel in Buenos Aires.

It is a very nice hotel.

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
The room could be bigger. With three beds it become crowded. Nice bathroom, linen and towels was very clean. Near everything but not in a busy neighborhood. Breakfast very good with a variety of bread.

Bel air hotel, Buenos aires

Excellent stay, good clean room, very helpful staff, especially front desk, very good location, and outstanding value for money. My only complaint is that a cozy bar would have been helpful.....but they had a bar, and a basic restaurant also. We very much enjoyed our stay.
