Charging Phone & Tablet in Buenos Aires

[Roz]

I'm staying at a Hilton property in Buenos Aires precruise.  What do I need to bring with me so that I can charge my Android phone and tablet?

 

I asked this question on my roll call thread but the answers were confusing. One person said the concierge will have what I need but how can I be sure of that?

We did not stay at the Hilton, so I don't know if concierge will be able to help.

 

We got a world travel adapter that stated it would work in Chile and Argentina, but it did not. 

We bought adapters on the street with local sellers, they were very cheap. They were less than 2 US$, but of course we used local currency.

 

Argentina uses this plug

@freaky_82, that information is very helpful.  Thank you.  The research I've done online shows the 3 prong plug, but what I find at the store is completely different.  Sounds like you had the same experience.

There are other outlets there, as well.  Some are the European kind with 2 round pins.  It may depend on the age of the hotel.
