The 160-room Hotel Cristoforo Colombo is hard to miss -- the facade is adorned with an enormous silver sign and fading flags that mark the entrance to this older high-rise property. Amenities include a funky circular pool, small play area, and tiny spa. The fitness center looks bright and modern, but much of the rest of the property is starting to show its age. Guest rooms look especially tired, with outdated furnishings and tube TVs. Free Wi-Fi and daily breakfast are nice perks, but the big draw is the hotel's great location close to parks and restaurants in Palermo.

Ayres de Recoleta is an apartment-style hotel located in the quiet, residential Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta, though the hotel itself is on a main avenue. The rooms (and two suites) are contempoary and spacious, with a modern-meets-earthy vibe, wood floors, deep soaking tubs, and fully equipped kitchens. Unfortunately, the hotel lacks a restaurant and on-site parking, but it does have a zen-like small pool. It's a solid choice for a home base, since it's near a lot of the tourist attractions -- and right near the famous Recoleta Cemetery.

Built in 2009, the Howard Johnson Hotel Boutique Recoleta is a relatively small property with 28 rooms and one suite. The location is a peaceful and safe one for tourists, and there’s plenty to see around the Recoleta Cemetery area with its abundance of bars, restaurants, and shops. The hotel’s facilities are good, considering its size -- there’s a small spa and fitness center, plus free Wi-Fi and breakfast. Guests here generally appreciate the quiet location and large rooms that the hotel offers, although the lackluster chain-style decor may not be to everyone’s taste. Those who prefer a more contemporary look should check out the Two Hotel Buenos Aires in Monserrat as an alternative.

Located in the city center near the Financial District and the Florida pedestrian area, the upper-middle-range Claridge Hotel features a classic British decor and atmosphere. The 152 rooms, which have been undergoing renovation, have flat-screen TVs and minibars, but they lack individual air-conditioning and coffee- and tea- making facilities. Hotel amenities include a seasonal outdoor pool, a spacious gym, and cozy restaurant and bar. The business center is dated, and wear and tear is evident in the public spaces. The nearby Lafayette Hotel is a good alternative; it's more up-to-date and has an on-site spa.

Hotel Boutique Raco de Buenos Aires is a quaint three-pearl boutique hotel in the residential neighborhood of Almagro. The historic building has 10 guest rooms that vary in size and decor, and have updated bathrooms. An inexpensive breakfast is served, there's free Wi-Fi, and guests can enjoy Tango lessons as well. The downside is that Almagro is old and shows neglect in many of its buildings. It’s also far from the major sights in the city, but the metro station is a just three-minute walk away. However, for about the same price, the upscale Hotel Scala in Montserrat offers more amenities -- including a gym and minibars -- and better proximity to the sights.

The location of the 77-room Hotel Reconquista Garden is fantastic -- smack in the middle of the city center, and within easy walking distance of the Financial District and major shopping streets. Unfortunately, guest rooms have stained carpets, and the tiny indoor pool is dingy. The bathrooms, however, are clean and seem to have been updated recently with the addition of whirlpool tubs. This place may be passable for a one-night stay and free breakfast, but there are more comfortable options available nearby at reasonable rates, like the Vista Sol Buenos Aires Design Hotel.
