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.

Great location, quiet street, large room, large comfortable bed, great value for money.
The hotel staff are amazing, so accommodating & helpful. At the front desk Natalia was very polite and we had a smooth check in & Sofia helped us with information on sightseeing. Both ladies are so kind and helpful. The door man was always smiling & polite. The lady in the breakfast area was also very nice and went out of her way to make me a hot almond milk with my coffee in the morning. There is plenty of options at breakfast. I enjoyed the fruit salad & my husband liked the omelette. On our last day we had an early dinner before heading to the airport in the restaurant and it was a good experience. Great boutique hotel in a nice area.

I stayed for 7 nights in this small, charming hotel in a lovely neighborhood. All the staff were very helpful. Because it is a smaller hotel, the service was attentive and personal. A substantial breakfast was served every morning in a pleasant enclosed glass roofed area. We ate dinner several times in the indoor restaurant with excellent food and service. The hotel has a beautiful old world decor with carved wooden panels. Recoleta is a very nice area , and we were able to walk the the famous cemetery from the hotel. I would definitely stay again at the Hotel Club
Frances, if in Buenos Aires.

This is a wonderful hotel, located in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The hotel is beautiful. We stayed in an Executive Suite which was gorgeous; the room was grand with so much room. The hotel staff is also lovely, professional and willing to help with suggestions for dining, sightseeing and anything else you may need. All is all a pleasant stay. We will stay here again the next time we are in Buenos Aires.
