The Ibis was one of two hotels I stayed at in BA a couple weeks ago. One of these days when I have more time I'll do a more complete trip report of my first visit to the city (Wow!), but for the meantime...the Ibis specifically.....

Incredibly cheap. 81 pesos per night. Nice view of the plaza in front of the hotel. VERY comfortable bed. Like a futon. Small room, and not much storage space, but we made it work. Not much shelf space in the bathroom to store "products." Very helpful people at the front desk. Will make lunch and dinner reservations for you all over town.

(BTW, Thanks to whoever recommended Parilla 1880 on Defensa, San Telmo-ish. GREAT!)

What sucked about the Ibis was the very thin walls and connecting room doors. You will not be happy if you have folks next door to you who are loud. If you are loud, you'll piss off the neighbors VERY easily. Room temperature. When we were there it was very warm for early spring (so I thought) and the building apparently can only offer heat OR air conditioning. It was still on heat when we were there. Even with the window open (it doesn't open much) we sometimes broiled at night.

Finally, upon arrival, I left them with 5 shirts to send out for pressing. Only 4 came back. They were helpful in trying to find out what happened and made steps to try to recover my shirt, but didn't seem overly sympathetic. They knew I was extremely pissed off about losing that shirt.
