We booked this hotel because of the reviews of Trip Advisor, otherwise I will maybe not know about it. And here is my review:

The hotel is very nice, specially the facade. THe looby is average, but I spend there only few minutes... The bar is very nice, the service is excelent and they know how to makes drinks. The barmen are very nice people and professionals and helpfull.

Our rooms were nice. Some say they need space, but remember this city is like going to Europe and space is limited, but I can say the room was OK.

Location is really a A+. You are in the middle of everything. If you don't want to walk everything is a taxi distance and very inexpensive $3.45 to Palermo, $1.70 to Recoleta, etc. Palermo is the farest maybe. If you like to walk, Florida Street is around the block.

So travelers to beautiful and wonderful Buenos Aires, The Claridge is the place.

The location is excellent :Florida is just around the corner, and Cabana las Lilas is within 10 minutes walk (try it once and you'll know it's important!). I loved the breakfast (dulce de leche with strawberries, aaaaah). The rooms are rather smallish (the bathroom as well), but I loved the bar in the lobby, felt so amazingly old fashioned and I very much liked it (they also serve a really good food there !). The hotel is perfecly clean and specially the concierge is extraordinary helpfull. Yes, I definitely would go back again !

The hotel is in a very safe location where you can walk about 10 minutes in one direction and arrive at Plaza San Martin, or you can walk about 15 minutes in the other direction and arrive at the Plaza de Mayo. You could not ask to be more perfectly located. If you want to venture further away, the doorman can make taxis (very cheap...definitely use these!) appear as if by magic.

Staff was very efficient and friendly, and every member we met spoke perfect English. Breakfast buffet was quite good with an array of meats, cheeses, and fruits along with some hot dishes that varied each day. One observation is that the cash exchange rate at the hotel front desk was the most competitive we found in the city. Far better than the airport, and slightly better than the exchange houses on Florida Street. Definitely consider exchanging your dollars here.

The only thing that keeps me from giving this hotel 5 stars is the size of the rooms. Our room was quite small and did not have a lot of space for opening a suitcase or walking around the bed while the closet door was open. The bathrooms were also small, and it was difficult to stand looking in the bathroom mirror without banging your leg on the bidet. However, the room was very pleasantly decorated and had all amenities you would expect from a 5-star hotel.

Bottom line, I would happily stay there again on future visits to BA.

Just returned from a five night stay at the Claridge. This was my first time to BA so I didn't mind being in the Microcenter which was easy walking distance to all the sights. The area is abit iffy at night but I felt alot safer in BA that I do in downtown London or Paris.

I was VERY impressed with the staff at the Claridge top to bottom and can't imagine a more helpful hotel. Especially for a first time visitor, this made a huge difference. Also very friendly bar staff and excellent breakfasts buffet, as has been mentioned. I paid $109 a night for a queen bed, which included airport pickup. My room faced the rear, a vista of ugly buildings. I know there are cheaper places but my other choice, the Loisuites Recoleta, was $150/nt without airport transport. These prices do not include the 21% VAT. The Loisuites lobby looked very nice and offered much more space so I may try them next time.

My only issue was with the room itself - not large nor particulary characterful and with an impossibly small and poorly designed bathroom. Also the walls are thin so I heard loud snoring from next door - not a nice feeling. Also the room wasn't very ventilated and the hotel uses very strong frangrances when cleaning. I tend to spend a fair amount of time in my room and was sorry it wasn't nicer, since I really liked the people. The pool wasn't open since it was mid winter but I can see that as a wonderful bonus in the Summer.

If I go back to BA, I would love to have the same hotel but know I will probably choose another if only to avoid that useless bidet. Such a shame since the staff and bar are so excellent.
