We had a private room (with bathroom) for four nights. It's a bit dingy and dark but the location is excellent. Our room was on the street (#250) so if you're a light sleeper request a different location because it can get pretty noisy. We had AC which was nice in the summer heat but the remote we were given... More

We stayed at El Firulete because we could not find another hotel and it had good ratings on TripAdvisor. We got room number 140 which was on the first floor and looking out to the intersection.

This is a nice hostel just a few blocks from Plaza de Mayo, Obelisco, Florida Street, Cafe Tortoni, and the major live theaters. The staff were friendly and there is a common area where you will meet other travelers. My room had a/c and was comfortable, though the mattresses are slightly thin. My only minor complaint was that there was... More
