About
Gran Hotel Argentino
Gran Hotel Argentino sits on Carlos Pellegrini, roughly a 5-minute walk from the intersection of 9 de Julio and Corrientes avenues — the beating heart of Buenos Aires. The Obelisco, Teatro Colón, and Casa Rosada are all within easy reach, and Florida Street's pedestrian shopping is a short stroll away. The hotel offers a 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and a paid airport shuttle, making it a practical base for both first-time visitors and those on a short city break.
Rooms are simple but functional, with air conditioning, heating, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms with bathtubs. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and the breakfast buffet draws consistent praise for its variety. While the hotel itself is unfussy, its location — flanked by a Carrefour supermarket and a Havanna café — means you're never far from what you need.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Street noise can be an issue — The central location means traffic and city sounds are ever-present; you'll likely need to keep windows closed and rely on air conditioning.
- Dated decor in some areas — Some guests note old carpets and furniture, suggesting the hotel could use a refresh.
- Value rating is below average — The 'Value' category scores 7.3, lower than other aspects — suggesting some guests feel the price could be better for what's offered.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this isn't the place; the hotel's policy is strictly no pets.

7.8Verified guest“Loved having climate control and a flat-screen TV in the room, and was pleased to find a bathtub. The staff were incredibly accommodating, which was a real bonus. Check-in was quick and the hotel was peaceful throughout. They even offered a free wake-up service. The location suited me — right next to the main shops, the Obelisco, and cheap places to eat.”
7.8Verified guest“The room was huge and spotless, with everything I needed.”
7.8Verified guest“The location was exceptional, right near Mayo Avenue, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The staff were courteous, the service was nice, and the room was luxurious with great views — though the carpets and some furniture felt dated.”
7.8Verified guest“The staff were excellent, very accommodating and keen to make our day-stay as comfortable as possible.”
7.8Verified guest“The room was spacious, clean, and the bed was comfortable — exactly as shown in the pictures. The staff were helpful most of the time, spoke Portuguese, and helped arrange a paid airport transfer and city tour. Breakfast was pretty good with lots of choice. The best part was the location: close to Casa Rosada, the Cathedral, the Obelisk, 9 de Julio, Corrientes, and Florida Street. We even walked to Café Tortoni at night. It felt safe, and there's a Carrefour right next door and a Havanna café half a block away. I'd stay again for a short visit.”
7.8Verified guest“The air conditioning was essential — sleeping with the windows open would have meant enduring street noise. The breakfast buffet was very good and well managed.”
