Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Convenient central location in Retiro, within walking distance of major attractions
- Decent-sized rooms with contemporary decor and flat-screen TVs
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and free coffee and tea
- Varied breakfast buffet at glass-enclosed Refugio del Sol rooftop restaurant
- Good soundproofing and large windows in all rooms
- Tiny fitness center equipped with sauna
- Room service available 24 hours a day
- Spacious lobby with cozy couches
Cons
- Skinny fitness center, but with four up-to-date machines
- Some rooms are slightly small for the price
- No pool
Bottom Line
This upper-middle-range business hotel has 133 clean, contemporary, but somewhat basic rooms with large windows and good soundproofing. Amenities are scarce -- just a skinny fitness room with a sauna and a glass-enclosed, top-floor restaurant serving a good breakfast -- but it is within a 10-minute walk of three subway lines and offers free Wi-Fi, coffee, and tea. Its central location in the busy Retiro district is conveniently close to major attractions and great shopping, but some rooms are slightly small for the price.

Location
In the core of downtown Buenos Aires, close to major tourist sites and great shopping
El Conquistador is located in Retiro -- a busy area just to the north of Microcentro. It’s one block from main thoroughfares like 9 de Julio and Santa Fe avenues, and within walking distance to great shopping and major tourist sites.
Retiro is the transportation hub of Buenos Aires. Often, "transportation hub" is synonymous with gritty, depressing, and traffic-filled, but this is not the case with Retiro (except the traffic-filled part). The neighborhood is home to upscale shops, luxury hotels, and the Plaza San Martin park, surrounded by beautiful historic mansions (many of which now serve as embassies).
