Basic hotel, but certainly nothing at all wrong with it. Room was spacious & very clean. Bathroom too. Bed was comfortable. A/C strong as I needed. WiFi was reliable, (oddly my Mac kept dropping the signal but not my PC laptop; not sure why - maybe some problem on my Mac, which is usually more reliable than my PC for WiFi). "Lobby" is merely a hallway from the front door to the tiny front desk & elevator, but who cares - no one comes to Buenos Aires to sit in a lobby anyway. Staff (front desk & cleaners) were always friendly & helpful. Front of hotel (including my room) faces a pedestrian street, so no traffic noise. Very central location, on a busy shopping street. Plenty of cafés, restaurants, etc. in walking distance, for breakfast and other meals. Great price. I would certainly stay here again.

Our room is next to a utility room. Through the window, you can see the mops and cleaning chemicals. Window does not close too well so you can hear the air conditioner of your own room and the other room next to the utility. Initially I thought it was a washer/dryer. That was the sound all night. Also, the window curtain is not thick enough. Surely the janitors can see through it and you’re giving them a free peep show.

Buenos aires hidden gem

The hotel offers all the basics, and was easy to find. The staff does not speak english, but tried their best to assist us. The room was basic, clean and a good size. Breakfast is croissants and excellent coffee, it is good value for money if your focus is on seeing the beautiful city, with a clean place to sleep and basix amenities.

Wouldn't Recommend

This hotel is very dated and super basic. The wifi doesn't work at all. Housekeeping only came twice during my stay as well. The hotel is definitely cheap, but you get what you pay for. I would avoid staying here.

Great location, poor wifi

The location of this hotel cannot be beat. Close to everything Buenos Aires has to offer, and walking distance to Luna Park and several great restaurants and bars. Very basic room-dated, but clean. My only complaint was that the wifi only worked about 20% of the time, which was somewhat of a large inconvenience for me as a traveler from the USA.

Great hotel location in the center of everything

I'm very pleased with the experience of been a guest in The Cabildo hotel. The location is perfect because is extremly clean, really nice price and absolutely close to the subte, close to the Obelisco, and the other principals streets in the microcenter of the city of Buenos Aires. The great restaurants around, the stores are a plus. Two of the most important things I most enjoy were the staff, all of them very nice, very friendly and always ready to help me. I love how the staff makes me fell comfortable. And the other thing I love of the stay, is to take the breakfast in Los Inmortales, a really nice bar/restaurant and with an emblematic decoration.
