The 474 Buenos Aires Hotel is located within a 5 minute walk of the world’s widest boulevard: 9 de Julio. It’s also in a very convenient tourist friendly location within walking distance of most major attractions, close to shopping and many outdoor eateries, and about a 45 minute drive from the EZE Airport. Recommendation: Take an Uber for convenience and price. Although the hotel is in the Recoleta area of Buenos Aires, known for being upscale and relatively safe, there are homeless individuals within a short distance of the hotel sleeping on the street at night. That being said, we felt safe.
The hotel itself is a bit underwhelming in that there is no pool, the breakfast consists of mostly sweets, bread, cereal and fruit with no omelette station. I would not recommend the “buffet” breakfast.
The very claustrophobic elevator seems to go to whatever floor it wants to despite your desired floor choice. Our room was quiet although the beds were hard.
Would I recommend this hotel? Yes. The location itself is a big deal. It’s not a 5 star hotel. It worked well for us. The hotel staff was helpful and attentive and the price was right.
