We had not been to this hotel in 34 years. (We stayed here in 1986.). We went here with some fiends who are traveling with us to have a drink and reminisce about our time in Buenos Aires in 1986. The exterior of the hotel is exactly as we remember it. Even though the hotel is 34 years older, it was such fun to revisit. Our friends enjoyed it, too. We sat in the large bar area to have drinks. It had that nostalgic feel that my husband and our friends said, “just feels like you need to have a cocktail”. Being that it was a bit warm inside (no AC), they each ordered a gin and tonic and I ordered a glass of dry Chardonnay, leaving it in our server’s hands to pick a good wine. He picked a lovely, dry Argentine Chardonnay and it was a very generous pour. We probably spent one and a half hours here and enjoyed every minute. Just a relaxing good time. Thanks, Claridge Hotel, for the memories!…
Pros The hotel is superb value for money and It was my treat after months of travel! They have a swimming pool outside with a lovely pool attendant who made the stay wonderful! It was so good to meet a person who genuinely wanted you to have a good stay Cons One could argue that the hotel is looking a little tired Overall My favourite hotel after many months of travel
First suite we were offered had a broken shower, stained carpets, broken sun beds on balcony. Once was a very beautiful hotel, but now needs a lot of money spent on it. Chairs in lounge worn and split. Two tiny lifts, one broken. Only 4 persons in lift at on time. Sign says 6 persons, but will not work with 6. Took 30 mins. To get lift. Breakfast very poor for a so called 5 star hotel. When things ran out they were not replaced. Restaurant does not open in the evening. Not Really a 5 Star Hotel. Dirty streets outside ,and opposite a Sex Shop. Pool area with sun beds full of ants.
we stayed there on 20th December just for 1 night, stayed there before 6 yrs. ago it's reasonable, very central, just 3-4 buildings from Florida street which is a main street for shopping. The price includes a fantastic buffet breakfast, The service is good & there is an inexpensive restaurant just within walking distance from the hotel. A bell boy will help to take your luggage to your room or keep your suitcases if you arrive ahead of check in time or if you need to shop immediately on check in.
The hotel is located two steps away from Florida street and a 5 minutes walk to 9 de Julio avenue. The breakfast buffet is wonderful and has a large choice of fruits, breads, eggs and bacon. The employees at the front desk are absolutely wonderful and helpful. The downside is it is in great need of update. The beds are old, the wall paper is peeling off, the elevators break down regularly. With a little love this hotel could be a real gem.
