We stayed at Wilton for 2 weeks. We used this hotel as our base when visiting Buenos Aires and the surrounding area. We also left the hotel for 2 nights to visit the Iguazu falls in the Missiones province, but kept most of our luggage there. This was fine with the hotel, and they kept the keycard for us while we were away.
The location is great, we felt completely safe in the Recoleta/Barrio Norte neighbourhood. There's always people around, so it's never unpleasant to go out. People of Buenos Aires generally go out to dinner very late, around 10 pm and later.
There's a really good restaurant just around the corner called Cumanà. Cheap and good food, but be sure to get there before 8 pm or you'll have to wait in line for a table. It's a pretty "young" place, with crowds coming in to drink beer, eat, talk and laugh.
The staff of Wilton were always friendly and helpful. Not everyone speaks English. Silvia speaks great English and is very nice. There are 2 Internet PCs in the lobby, but they are almost always busy. Maybe they should get one or two more. The breakfast room is large and pleasant with a TV showing news and weather broadcasts. The buffet is absolutely terrific: Pastries, fruit, cereals, yoghurts, white and wholewheat bread (two toasters for the guests to use), eggs, different spreads, coffee, tea, milk and two kinds of juice. All very fresh and tempting.
The room was a comfy place to come back to after a long day out in BA. Nice comfy bed, great bathroom, TV with loads of channels, many in English. Terrible view out of the window, but we didn't care. Easy-to-use AC on the wall. We preferred the "Low Cool" setting as the "High Cool" actually felt way too cold and left us shivering under the sheet.
