Up Barrio Norte
It was in the heart of everything. Restaurants shops everything you need was within walking distance or a short Uber ride. The hotel was really, really nice. It was basic but very very clean. The staff was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I would stay at this facility anytime

Sheraton Buenos Aires Hotel and Convention Center
The front desk was poorly staffed, it took forever to check in both times and we never got the view we requested when we made the reservation, which was city view. The restaurant food was terrible, STAY AWAY from that restaurant!
