“Gran Hotel Ailen's location in downtown Buenos Aires places guests close to key attractions like the Florida Pedestrian Street, and the practical rooms with pastel-colored decor offer cable TV and air conditioning; plus, the inclusive continental breakfast features regional touches. While not lavish, the hotel suits travelers seeking a central, economical base for exploring or working in the city, with the added perk of an airport shuttle. Overall, I think it's a solid choice.”
