Bueno y malo

La atención del personal ha sido excelente y sumamente gentil. Tanto el personal de mostrador, de puerta como de cocina y comedor han hecho todo el esfuerzo pordar el mejor servicio. Cosas que no están a la altura de un hotel de esta categoría son, la falta de una plancha para ropa, un frigobar, no disponíamos de toallas para bidet y nos dijeron que si manchábamos toallas debíamos pagarlas. Se agradece el agua cada noche, pero sería prudente dar botellas cerradas (nuevas)

Charming and tropical feel

Old world charm hotel with lots of class! Perfectly located next to everything Recoleta. Walkable to many things! Tropical-feel restaurant feel with a great amount of breakfast options (eggs, media lunas, etc). The bar didn't have high end liquor but that didn't matter to us. The bed was extremely comfortable. The staff was at your service as every whim. Very safe and a gorgeous area of the city to be in. Only a 3 star by US standards but the charm and service bumped it up in my book. Only 2 work out machines and a sauna as far as gym/spa. The terrace was being redone while we were there. Overall, an excellent stay and I'd do it again! Thank you Hotel Club Frances, you made our Baires stay very special!

We chose the hotel becayse of its location and history. Reception and restaurant staff excellent. Very disappointed with room facilities. Never stayed in a hotel where water in room wasn't standard and this was supposedly had a 5 star rating. The cost of the hotel booking through Expedia was very expensive. We also stayed at another hotel in Buenos Aires later on where the facilities in the room were superior and it was cheaper. Dinner was good, breakfast adequate. A disappointing experience sadly.
