The place looks modern,clean and nice the elevator is super tiny though, the phone was not working but the worst part is that they hide the laundry fees, sent clothes for laundry service and the amount charged was outrageous, when I commented this to the front desk staff they laughed on my face. Will never come back here or recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel was neat but not as well kept as it could have been. There were some broken items in the room, particularly the bathroom. It all worked but it was just not top form.

Nice Centrally Located hotel
The Staff were very good and accommodating for anything they could handle. The room would not rate any higher than 3 stars in the US, but would rate 4 in the EU. Breakfast was good (but not included as we found out later). Internet was HORRIBLE! They really need to upgrade so as to allow for their customers to continue to handle business while on vacation. The only time I got a good signal was in the hotel lobby. If you dont care about internet then dont be afraid to stay here.

Terrible service
I had a terrible experience with the hotel. I went to B.A running an Ironman and booked a room at this hotel. On arriving at 2 AM I was informed that there was a problem at the hotel and that there was no room available for me, and that they would accommodate me at another hotel. The hotel they sent me was a dump! Old, dirty and stinking! I agreed to stay in the hotel because I was very tired and needed to sleep. I do not recommend it at all! I paid for a good, beautiful and expensive hotel and went to a dump.

Clean and comfortable
Centrally located, next to the pedestrian street Lavalle. Rooms are clean, everything works from Wifi to A/C. no problems. We got a great price for a few days. Not sure you can find similar hotels in other major cities around the world at this price. We were happy with our stay.

Pros Good size room Great breakfast Good location for visiting most attractions In B.A Cons Bathroom could do with some work as lots of pipes rusting and visible Check in was slow, the bald guy was abit up him self! Not great places to eat at night and didn't feel particularly safe Advice stay in Recoleta or Palermo. B.A In my opinion is not really worth visiting.

Excellent hotel. Recommended.
Friendly staff and good service (bathrooms cleaned and beds changed daily). Toilet was blocked on one occasion but this was seen to very quickly. Some dust on surfaces in room and wifi was slow. Option to leave luggage on day of departure was very useful (and free). Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Good hotel in B.A.
Located in the microcentro, the streets may be dirty, but the hotel is an oasis. Our 3rd time in Buenos Aires, and compared to other similar priced hotels, this hotel is one of the better ones. Keep in mind "most" hotels in BA have small elevators, old A/C, and old furnitures, so the Rochester is similar but our room is slightly bigger and everything is functional. The air conditioning unit maybe noisy, which is the only downside of this hotel in my mind. Overall, a very pleasant stay in Buenos Aires for a few days.

Great stay in Buenos Aires
This hotel was an ideal choice for our stay in Buenos Aires. It is located just off Lavalle and a short distance from the Avenida 9 de Julio and the stately Teatro Colón . The room was very comfortable and relatively quiet. The bathroom was a bit small, but the bathtub included a safety bar for easy access to and from the shower. The Rochester Classic offers a full buffet breakfast and free Wifi. This hotel is highly recommended for its amenities, friendly staff and for its reasonable rates.

Better than expected and convenience
Before I went there, I checked the street view on google, and felt that I was quite a sketchy street. Once I got there, I learned I was completely wrong. The buildings nearby just look old, that's all. This hotel is just 2 blocks away from the Obelisk and on the small narrow road which is very safe for walking because there are a lot less traffic than the main road. Restaurants are abundant, and from salad bars to high end places and mostly on the next block which is only for pedestrians, no cars. Walking to the Casa Rosada area is just about 10 minutes. I didn't book my room with breakfast because I wasn't sure if I had enough time for it, but then I decided to have it. The cost was about the same as if I paid in advance, no surprise, kudos for that. During my stay I had some difficulty with my tour, the lady at the front desk was really helpful, and spent enough time for me to finally got through to the right person and nailed it down to get the tour to pick me up eventually.

Great location for a stay in BA, many restaurants and sights so close to the hotel. The staff were very helpful and a few spoke English.
