Take the subway, line C, in Retiro station (terminal station), until Diagonal Norte station, where you have two different lines to make combination: line B and line D. There you'll have to take line B (Carlos Pellegrini station) in direction to Los Incas, until Uruguay or Callao (they are at the same distance from the hotel).
