Top hotels in Balvanera
GrandView Hotel & Convention Center
Good value, great views, room was clean, bed was comfortable, the air conditioner was cold and the included breakfast was pretty decent. I wish the pool opened a little earlier than 10am so I could do a workout swim to start the day. Overall, we had a nice 3 night stay.

Telepostal Congreso
El personal fue muy amable en todo sentido. El desayuno adecuado para el tipo de Hotel. Lo malo es que se sentía los ruidos de las otras habitaciones. Las puertas muy ruidosas.
