The room was good. The reception woman was rude the man was nice.
The breakfast was good with good variety but the scrambled eggs were always cold because they forgot to put the fire under the egg container and sometimes people left the lid off of it after taking their eggs.
The biggest problem is that everything at breakfast had sugar in it except for the eggs and the cheese. They could offer some Media Luna and yogurt choices that don't have sugar.

Hotel Grand King is a nice hotel in a good location close to the Obelisco and surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants. The reason I am giving such a high score, however, is due to the staff - Patricia in particular - who went above and beyond in trying to help when my luggage was delayed. Muchos gracias Patricia!

Great walkable location for just about everything. Pedestrian street near main avenues and subway stations. Friendly helpful multilingual staff -- they will call you a taxi that arrives in 5 minutes--and will look up the fare for the distance for you in advance! Rooms are basic with minibar, but with enough space for your own cheaper purchase of bottled water, etc. each day from nearby shops. Some concerns--not limited to this hotel. During summer heat waves in Buenos Aires (90 degrees); air conditioning is strained and low or non-existent in some buildings. (Here: tolerable--they also let you know on check-in if it's a problem). Many buildings (and subways) have limited elevator access and many steps to navigate. This one has two six-person elevators and ramps, but not to the lowest level where breakfast buffet is located (costs extra): that requires 5 steps down from landing. There's a great little bakery on corner for coffee and pastry, but I would not recommend the hotel for someone dependent on a wheel chair. But I would gladly stay here again.

Close to Everything!

Overall our stay was pleasant.Would we stay again?Yes, but we would make sure we bring ear plugs. We paid for a Junior Suite with views of the city, on the 8th floor next to elevator. The room was spacious, nice except that we could hear everything that was happening outside our room, the noise from the elevator, the people next door and the noise from the street.
The room was clean (although it could be cleaner, floors were a bit dusty). The view from the window was fantastic, especially at night. Bathroom was nice and spacious, only down side was that the hot water takes a while to work and complimentary bathroom soap/shampoo/toiletries was basic and limited. There was no mini fridge, which was disappointing as you would expect to have one in a Junior Suite. There was only 1 channel on TV that has English speaking shows. But if you are a Spanish speaking visitor, then the cable TV has plenty to offer.
Breakfast is great if you like pastries. They had a great selection of pastries, fruit salad, two types of scrambled eggs, different types of breads, nice variety of cereals,dulce leche, nice coffee. And Breakfast staff was very lovely and friendly. Only down side was the Juice, it tasted artificial.
Staff from the reception was not welcoming or approachable. We felt uneasy with asking them for any assistance as they never smiled and it seems like they would rather be elsewhere than help guests.
Lobby was tiny.
Elevator can only carry 3 people at a time, which was always busy

Second night, after impossible slept, because the noise of the aircond they moved us to a new room that I found it available with the help of the maid. Registration staff, usually is rude and sometimes they said that they can service you, but aiways they have many judments for not to service in the appropiate manner.

A room in the 9th floor was assigned to me as it was the only floor available, coming out of the elevator the horror starts... smelly, dirty carpets and dirty - stained toilet, extra soft old beds, the room temperature can't be controlled from your room.

Eye of the hurricane

Just two blocks from the corner of Lavalle and Florida, the famous shopping streets in central Buenos Aires, the Grand King is a cool place to stay. Its sparse, modern design belies the friendliness of the front desk staff. The elevators are scary though ... they rattle!

In view of what some of the reviews had said, I reserved a superior room. The room I got, while a bit small, was modern, comfortable, and clean as a whistle. The wood floor was a nice touch. The glass shower curtain was unusual, but apparently functional. This hotel charges extra for wireless internet access.

I had wanted to stay here to be in the middle of all the late night action, but by the time I got back from dinner it was after midnight and the area was quiet. Ironically, the advantage of the location turned out to be its convenience for walking to Puerto Madero, and for catching a bus to the airport the next morning.
