The location is excellent. The staff is kind and helpful. The rooms are average, with worn out carpets that must be replaced. The bathrooms are very small. At times, a putrid smell came off from the bathroom, and the staff plugged the drain at the bathroom floor. Their prices keep going up (x 3 during the past 3 years), and I have chosen a different hotel in the same area for my next trip.

This was our second time our family stayed at the hotel. The value for money was great, and again the staff made our stay most pleasant. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff all remembered us and took great care of while on our holiday. Not to mention the close proximity to the all the great shopping and sites to see in BA.

This hotel has a great location in Recoleta right near the cemetery and some great restaurants/shopping. The staff was pleasant and friendly. However, the rooms are rather run down. The carpet was filthy in our room and one of my travelmates would only shower in flip flops because the shower was so dirty.

2/2 found this review helpful

We loved staying at the Plaza Francia so much we came back twice. Both times we had a room facing the park. Loved the location with easy cab access to other parts of the city. There is some car noise but it is not bad. The staff were always extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. This is a great alternative to the larger and more lavish hotels in the area. Breakfast was better than average Argentine fare.

“Good for a night or two if you want to be close to the cementary!”

San Juan, Puerto Rico

2/3 found this review helpful

My partner and I stayed here in Jun, 2006 for our last 2 nights in Bs.As. before heading out to Salta.

We decided to stay here mainly due to the close location to the cementary and not too far from the local airport.

Prior to that we stayed 4 nights in Centro, then 3 nights in San Telmo. We did so much walking and our legs were starting to get sore. It was a blessing that the cementary was almost across the street from the hotel.

This is a very average hotel. We had the standard room. The room was fine but only had a view to the back of the other buildings. I suppose nicer rooms have views to the Recoleta Park.

Breakfast was standard. The location being in Recoleta is so-so because it's so far from other attractions that we had to take taxis in and out.

We got tired of eating the parilla and we decided to try the Empire Thai. It was a total disappointment due to food and especially price.

Cementary tour is great! It's free and the guide was a very nice lady. By visiting all the important tombs, one may get an idea how much the argentines pay their respect to their history and their heros.

To our suprise, we found the Design Mall which is right near the hotel. It's a great idea to have all the trendy home store in one location.
