Think twice before booking here!
I rate this hotel some stars because it was very convenient right on one of the main streets, we were able to walk to a lot of places we visited. Don't get me wrong the hotel is gorgeous looking! Elevator service was pretty good for a very old building. We arrived a few hours early, so we just left our bags checked in for the meantime. When we returned, we got situated to our room. EVERYTHING was wrong even before we stepped into our room. The light above our door was pitch black due to the light bulb burned out. The door wouldn't open for us with the code they gave us. We obviously complained and told us they would change the batteries. My cousin that traveled with us went to the bathroom and there was no toilet paper. We had a very rough beginning!! The problem with the door was ongoing for over two days. The girl was upset and yelling at me because I was upset and complaining. The only good thing she did was transfer us to a room that the door function right. You would think we could have got an upgrade for all the inconvenience but no we got squeezed into a smaller space than the one we had at first. Since it's a very old build there is no windows!!! We had to keep calling reception every time we needed the ac on and mind you it was several times because it automatically shut off and they don't leave you the ac control. If they couldn't program it from downstairs, they would have to come up into your room. The WIFI in any floor did not work and that is they had so many.

This is the one!
After a 9 week holiday in South America and Europe I rate La Fresque as my favourite accommodation stay. I love "oldy worldy" and this hotel has been beautifully and sympathetically restored. The lift alone is an experience but without a doubt this whole hotel has character with a capital "C". The suites have so much room and the bedroom is located on a mezzanine level above accessed via a spiral staircase. The vaulted and arched ceiling was very special and appears to be a feature of older buildings in this city. The city is very walkable and La Fresque is in a prime location for sightseeing, restaurants and cafes. We found a delightful wine bar about 200 metres from the hotel on the other side of the street. Turn right and head in that direction. You won't be disappointed. The bed was quite comfortable and there was little street noise considering the proximity to the main street. The downstairs museum is well worth a visit and appears to be at capacity. There is old stuff crammed everywhere. So that's it. If you like quirky, unusual and prime position in Buenos Aires at a very reasonable price then look no further.

The location of this hotel is ideal! We loved being within walking distance of so many area attractions, restaurants and shopping. The building is interesting and artistic, very trendy. There are no exterior windows, which is a bit unnerving, but manageable.

Pictures are deceiving.
Rooms were very basic. The bathroom had very little space on the sink to put things. No shelf and no door in the shower. Water went all over the floor and became slippery. Only one chair on the first level, which you couldn’t even sit in because it had a hole in it. Bed was tolerable and sloped a bit on one side. Most of the lights didn’t work in the room. Room was noisy. The person upstairs sounded like they were moving furniture in clogs. Location was great. Sube right outside the door. Walk ability to many places.

Many, many options for restaurants and shops within a short walk. There is a subway entrance literally 20 steps from the front door. The Obelisk is nearby, too. Great location. The real star is the front desk staff. They were so very help with luggage storage. Great stay.

Right downtown, not far from the big Av 9 de Julio obelisk. Mini-markets, restaurants, cafes, cambios a conveniently short walk away. If you like 1890’s architecture, clean and extremely well maintained, basic but classy you’ll love this place. Very Buenos Aires!

Good: Service, location (near main sites, great public transportation), unique architecture, cleanliness, good value for money, toiletries. Bad: If you have mobility problems then the room design (with stairs) may not be for you, cannot self-control room temp. Overall - Recommended as long as you are aware of it's weak points.
