I loved exploring this hotel! We did not stay here overnight-we just popped in to look at the interior and shared spaces. Loved the feel and look of the place. Interesting history, too. Even the bathrooms in the lobby have that old school flare. Such a nice time piece and captures a different era...it gives me the sense of the... More

When you book a room in this hotel, keep in mind that you are taking a trip into memory lane, and it is not a modern hotel, it has a well kept wonderful history. Every employee who works there is very proud and helpful. The grand rooms, high ceilings, the columns, and the grandiosity of this 1920's hotel makes the... More

This grand old hotel's days of glory have come and gone. It could be really cool if it were fixed up, but sadly it is malodorous, dirty, dark, creepy, and seems it was last updated in the 1960's/70's. One gets the feeling that they just can barely afford to keep the hotel going, and that it has been slowly deteriorating... More

it is a pity that such a superb art deco restauration has been done at 2/3 only. the Argentino hotel is a ticket to the past, the vitraux of the luxury staircase is amazing, the restaurant with windows facing the ocean is simply a piece of the 20s available today. however the rooms need a wise and complete upgrade. having...

If you look for a place in Piriapolis, this looks like the place to be.....well it isn't! The hotel is really old and you can see it and smell it! If you like 100 schoolchilderen next to you room on a camp, it is the place for you.... The price of €110 per night is really too much. Except for... More

A hotel lost in the past... terrible service and very poor amenities and rooms

I decided to stay at a hotel casino at Piriapolis after watching a cult movie called "Whisky". I wanted some of that late sixties air... We arrived by bus from Montevideo and the hotel was so close to the bus station that we decided to walk instead of taking a cab. We had very little baggage, it's true. We were... More

I spent a week at the Argentino in Feb 2006 - It was summer there and the place was packed with families with children - a bit noisy at breakfast! I enjoyed the place but its NOT for those looking for 21st century amenities. Its one of those huge old destination resorts where people went for large blocks of time... More

I stayed at the Argentino Hotel in Piriapolis in February, 2006. Fortunately, we only stayed for 3 days. It was awful! Even when we rented one of the "recently renewed rooms" and one of the most expensive room in the hotel. The building resembled a public house or a hospital: very tall ceilings; huge corridors, with no furniture; floors were... More
