NH Collection Buenos Aires Jousten
Hôtel excellent! Très bien situé. Les déjeunés sont exceptionnels, je n’ai jamais vu autant de choix avec ses jus detox et quelques options sans gluten. Nous avons très bien dormi malgré le bruit du centre-ville. Je recommande fortement

The room is a tiny bit dated but large and the location is so wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay. We were a bit surprised at the charge for and cost of the coffee pods. Breakfast buffet was also excellent.
