Hotel Tres Sargentos

Buenos Aires


A good deal for the location, this simple budget hotel has an interesting history – writer Julio Cortázar once stayed here. The carpets are a bit worn, but the plainly decorated rooms are comfortable enough. Some rooms higher up and facing out even offer a bit of a view.
