Every now and then a mid-range hotel earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hotel Facon Grande, in Microcentro, is one of those. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel practical; the touches travellers mention most are an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been mixed but acceptable. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 2,700 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €46 a night, a fair-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, Hotel Facon Grande reads as one of those Buenos Aires addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
