 | Gran Hotel Argentino: A 3-Stars Snob
|  |
 |

I booked a 7 night stay at the hotel simply because it was the cheapest hotel located near the Obelisk, which is helpful for finding your bearing when you are in the city for the first time. The first day after I checked in, I wanted to check out. Unfortunately, I have prepaid everything in advance.
The room was dark and dingy. The wall was dirty, and the carpet... well, it was too dark to see. I had specifically requested at least a double bed (I was travelling alone, but am used to a bigger bed), but was given a room with 2 single beds. The window opened into a kind of "shaft" coyrtyard with a discarded bath-tub collecting rainwater, and with all kinds of garbage, eg. cigarette butts, used condoms, banana peels, all over. All these wouldn'y have mattered much if the staff were a little more pleasant. Considering that this is a 3-stars (although I did learn that the star system really doesn't mean much), the front desk staff was really quite surly and unpleasant, and the room-service waiter. who spoke flawless English, was sarcastic. Not at all like what they advertised.
