Entering the unremarkable lobby of the 70-room Apart Hotel is enough to tell you that it's a no-frills property. Located in a rundown neighborhood, this mid-range hotel features rooms that are spacious and offer flat-screen TVs, but lack basic amenities, such as coffeemakers or microwaves in the kitchenettes. The cramped bathrooms and terrible views are big drawbacks. Families traveling on a budget may enjoy the layout of Quadruple rooms, which have plenty of space and twin beds for children, but the location in Congreso might be better suited to business travelers.

The sleek three-and-a-half-pearl Bulnes Eco Suites offers stylish, modern interiors in the trendy Palermo neighborhood, an area full of restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Its 41 guest rooms are spacious and equipped with kitchenettes, plus they have flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and balconies. Features are a bit limited, but there's a lovely terrace with a hot tub, and a free breakfast buffet is served in the attached cafe (and can also be delivered to rooms for free). It’s a bit far from popular attractions, but the area suits travelers who want to be away from the hustle and bustle, plus it's well serviced by public transportation. Aspen Towers Hotel is a good alternative with a downtown location and more features like a rooftop pool and two on-site restaurants, but rooms don't offer kitchen facilities.

The upscale Sileo Hotel is located in Buenos Aires' posh Recoleta neighborhood, directly across from a major tourist attraction, the Recoleta Cemetery. The modern glass and concrete structure blends into the residential area that offers many restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions. The overall decor is contemporary, and the 24 rooms have numerous features, including balconies and kitchenettes. Other features include free hot breakfast, a small, heated outdoor pool, small spa with sauna, fitness and business centers, and nearby parking for a fee. There's also an art gallery and lending library below the lobby. It's an excellent choice for couples and solo travelers, but guests might try the nearby Ayres de Recoleta, where the rooms also have kitchenettes and deep soaking tubs.

Housed inside a renovated 1928 Art Deco printing factory, the upper-middle-range Moreno Hotel has a singular, dramatic look. Its 37 spacious rooms and lofts are more subdued in their decor, but they all have fairly high ceilings, flat-screen TVs, and luxury bedding. Located in the San Telmo barrio -- Buenos Aires' oldest neighborhood -- the Moreno has plenty of antique shops, tango parlors, and art galleries nearby. And it's walking distance to major landmarks and the metro. Cheaper alternatives can be found in the barrio, such as Lafayette Hotel, but they don't have the same distinctive design.

The 100-room Intersur Recoleta is located in the affluent, residential neighborhood of Recoleta, and its elegance reflects that. From the facade's stunning architecture and the lavish French-inspired decor, to the exceptionally helpful staff and the exquisite Italian fine dining at the Marcelo Restaurant, the hotel is striking and impressive in almost all respects. The spacious rooms are decorated in charming, sophisticated colors of beige and deep red and they are furnished with just the right amount of quality and class -- nothing is over-the-top or excessive. When not living the luxurious life (for a more than reasonable price!) inside the hotel, guests can enjoy the art galleries, shopping centers, and museums that are close by.

A tranquil, minimalist vibe pervades this upper-middle-range property in peaceful Palermo. Its 60 large, bright rooms feature free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, fully equipped kitchenettes, and contemporary decor with dark wood accents and black-and-white photos on the walls. The spa is comprised of a gorgeous indoor pool area, sauna, and small massage room, adjacent to a tiny fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment. It’s a great pick for those who prefer a quiet location close to shopping, dining and nightlife, but visitors who want to be within walking distance to major tourist attractions might prefer a more central location.

The Mio Buenos Aires is a 30-room, luxury boutique hotel in Buenos Aires's popular and affluent Recoleta district, within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and attractions. Guest rooms are spacious and feature chic, modern decor with natural wood elements and modern amenities such as Nespresso coffeemakers and speaker systems with iPod docks. Bathrooms have rainfall showerheads, and some rooms even feature hand-carved wood bathtubs. The hotel also has its own spa with two treatment rooms and a small indoor, heated pool and fitness area. A library/lounge and lobby bar offer guests a place to relax, and the on-site restaurant and bar serves gourmet international cuisine. While not quite as luxurious as some nearby five-pearl properties such as the Palace Duhau, the Mio's lower room rates make it an attractive option.

The three-and-a-half pearl Monserrat hotel has 75 spacious rooms with contemporary decor and kitchenettes. The hotel also has the benefit of a spa, swimming pool, and restaurant. On-site dining is a real bonus as the property is in a fairly gritty neighborhood where tourists may not be advised to walk around at night. There are some popular daytime attractions nearby though, and a metro station is just five minutes away. Parking is available on-site (although it’s chargeable and spaces are limited), and breakfast and Wi-Fi are free. Considering the hotel was built in 2010, it does look surprisingly shabby and worn in places. The nearby Scala Hotel is closer to the San Telmo neighborhood and has fresher rooms, though prices are a bit higher.

The 30 apartment-style rooms in the Ayres de Libertad utilize space fantastically without sacrificing an attractive modern aesthetic. Studios offer plenty of wall storage, stocked kitchenettes, polished marble bathrooms, and balconies; some units have courtyard views, but other views are lousy. Common areas feel more cramped, with the indoor swimming pool and tiny fitness area dropped into one section of the lobby. Despite the lack of spread out common space, this sleek and modern hotel offers a convenient location in Recoleta and free breakfast is delivered to rooms each morning.

**THIS HOTEL CLOSED IN FEBRUARY 2013. **The Soho All Suites is a trendy 21-room boutique hotel in the heart of Palermo, an upscale neighborhood known for great shopping and dining. Located off a cute cobblestone sidewalk, the hotel brings the outside in by allowing the cobblestone to spill into the entrance. The minimalist lobby is chic, and the rooms are contemporary, with bright color accents -- but they lack the upscale appeal of the lobby and some furnishings feel a bit cheap. Bathrooms are small and in need of updating (aside from the cool vessel sinks). Kitchenettes offer basic amenities, while tiny balconies provide nice city views. The spa and rooftop dipping pool (a hot tub, though not heated) are the main features.
