Hotel Lyon

For all these loving hotels which are not part of a major international hotel chain. This hotel has the charm of older buildings and is very close to the city center. The rooms are spacious and very clean, the breakfast buffet is great and the staff is very welcoming and eager to please their guests.The grocery stores located right at the corner are very open late and very convenient. The nearby water museum is a true must see and the visit is free of charge. A great choice for those travelling on budget looking for a safe clean place where to stay in Buenos Aires.

The service and staff was great and one of them spoke a little English which I appreciate because my Spanish would not be enough. Breakfast was good, the only things I would add are cheese and ham. The only but crucial problem was the room. I am rather not posting the photos here. Send the information to the hotel itself to fix that. It is life threatening - the mold on the walls, room 608.

The place is kind of old and low budget but it sufficed quite nicely as a base camp for a half day stopover in Buenos Aires. I'd actually stay there again if I was in the same situation. Having a room was nice to change clothes and freshen up and after checkout, management stored our bags so we could continue touring the city.

This hotel would have been The Place 60 or more years ago but it had fallen on hard times. The hotel is laid out as suites so don't be surprised if you find yourself with three rooms and a bathroom, all equipped with an eclectic mix of mismatching furniture. The rooms are gradually being refurbished so if you end up with an unacceptable one ask for a different room (the first one we were placed in was a bit....). Staff friendly, breakfast nominal, WiFi dreadful -- but that seems typical of today's Argentina, the only places we stayed where things were more "American" were the $100+++ a night international chains (and even then you could see the cracks -- sometimes literally -- around the edges). (Pro tip for Americans. The sun goes the wrong way so you often end up walking in the wrong direction. Just remember that Riobamba is a one way street with the traffic going south!)

The room was very big. Nice and comfy. The price was good. The wifi is bad. You couldnt connect while your lying in bed. The breakfast didnt had any diversity. Just jam and dulce! Too much sweets and sugar! During breakfast there turned out to be a piece of glass in the sandwich. Luckily I didn't hurt myself with this. I reported it to the staff, but almost nothing was done about it. There was no apology itself. RIDICULOUS!!!

My room is like the hotel from The Shining; high ceilings, curved wall chamfering, cast iron radiators, wainscoting, bed posts, walnut furniture, walls and trims with 10 coats of paint, chandeliers, definately different. It reminds me of my high school. The wifi didn't work, only from the room door. I had to move the single bed towards the door to use it Breakfast had no free seats. It was really chaotic. Nobody spoke English My key card didnt work on the hotel main door at night Furniture in the common area was worn and old This place hasn't been updated since 1960 and it shows It's annoying because it was twice as much as an Airbnb and I wanted to treat myself to a nice place. I got the opposite.

The hotel is centrally located in Buenos Aires, close to restaurants and transportation. The room was huge and with great air conditioner. It included continental breakfast. The wireless wifi was not the best. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have issues with the elevators. OK for the money paid.

NEVER! This hotel is terrible. We lost money two times in the room. We had euros and dollars in our backpacks IN THE ROOM and just disappeared. We called the police but nothing happened. We do not recommend it. Also, the breakfast is really poor and the internet connection very bad. They destroyed our experience in Buenos Aires!
