BENS - Recoleta Park
This is a very good budget minded hotel. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider staying there again. It was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and we loved the little kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave. The staff was nice and helpful.

Arc Arenales Studios & Suites
Nice big, bright, airy room and bathroom. Kitchen nice to have for some light breakfast cooking - but mostly is workable just for reheating food. Great area, close to the subway and shopping. Highly recommend.

Vilon Recoleta Hotel
The location is good if visiting Central BA. While I personally prefer the Palermo neighborhood, this side of town has a hip side too. It's just not the quietest.

Blank Hotel Recoleta
Clean rooms but slippery bathroom floors, helpful front desk, breakfast wait staff were rude, didn't even smile. The hot tub is missing many tiles.
