Where to stay in Argentina

Hotels range in standard, from the most luxurious in Buenos Aires to the distinctly rustic in rural areas. In Buenos Aires, the cheaper hotels can mostly be found around Avenida de Mayo. Note that hosterías are not hostels, but anything from a budget to a luxury hotel. Most hotels add at least 20% tax to any quoted room price. Check correct charges when booking.

Grading: Ranges from 5-star (highest) to 1-star (lowest). Be aware that this rating system rarely reaches international standards, especially with regard to service. Watch out too for 'design' hotels that may feature the latest in interior design, but tend to disappoint when it comes to staff and attention to detail.
