About this property

Welcome to Gran Hotel Mar del Plata

Gran Hotel Mar del Plata stands as a welcoming three-star option in the heart of Mar del Plata, Argentina. Situated on Rivadavia street, just steps from the popular downtown pedestrian strip and a short walk to the beach, this hotel offers guests a convenient and lively location. Visitors enjoy easy access to attractions like Casino Central and the historic Iglesia Catedral Mar del Plata, making it ideal for those eager to explore the city's vibrant culture and bustling commerce.

The hotel prides itself on attentive and friendly staff who consistently receive praise for their warm reception and helpfulness. Daily cleaning services ensure rooms stay neat and fresh throughout a guest’s stay. While the rooms provide all basic necessities with comfortable beds and functional bathrooms, several reviews note the compact size of the bathrooms and minor maintenance issues such as aging furniture and malfunctioning shower fixtures. These small inconveniences, however, are balanced by the hotel’s generous, continental breakfast that allows guests to start their day well-fueled, albeit with limited variety and a noted absence of fruit and savoury options.

Gran Hotel Mar del Plata’s free Wi-Fi service appears to be a mixed experience; some guests report poor or inconsistent connectivity, especially on higher floors, highlighting a clear area for improvement. Nevertheless, the hotel delivers a solid stay at an excellent price point, making it attractive for travelers prioritizing location and value. The absence of air conditioning and certain modern amenities might appeal less to those seeking luxury but fits well within expectations for a comfortable three-star property in an urban setting.

What truly defines this hotel is its vibrant neighborhood atmosphere. In the evenings, the surrounding street becomes pedestrian-only and teems with life, offering guests a dynamic environment filled with local attractions and dining options just beyond the doors. This synergy between hotel and city creates an engaging experience, where guests can immerse themselves in Mar del Plata’s coastal charm and urban energy alike.

In sum, Gran Hotel Mar del Plata embodies practical comfort coupled with a prime location, supported by attentive service and daily upkeep. While it may not deliver cutting-edge facilities, it offers sincere hospitality and access to the essence of Mar del Plata. For travelers seeking convenience, friendliness, and a taste of local life, this hotel stands as a reliable choice.

Excelente ubicación, todos los días limpiaban habitación, cambiaban blanqueada, los empleados muy amables, el baño era pequeño pero estaba bien. Ofrecen desayuno continental, abundante, no sirven fruta, no posee servicio de almuerzo ni cena. Pero por la ubicación del lugar tiene accesible múltiples opciones, por la tarde noche la calle se vuelve peatonal y el lugar se llena de atracciones y gente. Al frente encuentras un supermercado.

En general bastante bien varias cosas varias cosas positivas y otras negativas: La atención del personal excelente, el desayuno muy bien, todos los días la limpieza muy bien; Lo malo: el wifi no funcionaba nunca, las habitaciones con falta de mantenimiento (las canillas de la ducha se caían, los muebles difíciles de abrir y cerrar, al igual que la ventana) y la cama matrimonial eran dos camas chicas juntas. En general bien. La ubicación excelente. Nos permitieron quedarnos varias horas hasta que llegó el micro.

Excelente atención de los chicos de recepción, muy amables y cordiales. La limpieza de las habitaciones un diez! No llegaba la señal de wifi en el piso en dónde nos alojamos, la habitación sin internet. Eso debería mejorar.

El hotel muy lindo! El personal de recepción y limpieza son muy amables, las camas cómodas y siempre limpio. Lo único malo es el baño, es muy diminuto, pero esta bien. La ubicación muy buena en centro, con peatonal abajo después de las 19. El desayuno no tiene tanta variedad pero esta bien, todo muy rico. También otra cosa medio mala es el desayuno, después de las 9 vienen mucha gente y tienes q esperar q una persona termine de desayunar para que te den la mesa! (Por suerte voy temprano y no me pasa). Otra cosa muyyy mala es el Internet, hay youtube, Netflix y todo eso, pero la tele se queda pegada aveces porq se sale el WiFi cada 10 minutos. Pero apelar de todo, es recomendable.

Excelente ubicación, a una cuadra del mar, en pleno centro, la limpieza bien , los chicos de recepción muy amables te brindan agua caliente siempre que lo necesites, el desayuno muy bien solo le agregaría una opción salada, las habitaciones buen estado solo mejoraría los colchones en nuestro caso de la cama matrimonial uno de los lados estaba un poco hundido, wifi no anduvo nunca. Recomiendo y volvería al hotel en otra oportunidad.

Muy buena ubicación, muy buen servicio de desayuno, personal amable, baños pequeños pero completos (nunca hubo inconvenientes con el agua caliente) . Sólo faltaría pequeño frigobar en las habitaciones, ya que otros hoteles de 3 estrellas lo poseen.!!
