“Good, Basic Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2008

My friend and I stayed here and found it to be basic but fine. The location is the main reason to stay at this hotel, as it is very central and very safe, no matter what time day/night. We spent some late nights out and never felt uncomfortable (2 single women) in the area surrounding the hotel. That being said, there is nothing fancy about the accommodation. You get beds, TV, AC and a bathroom. The breakfast that was included was fine, there were a few hot options as well as cereal, cheese and rolls. All in all, we felt like we got what we paid for in terms of lodging and were very pleased with the location.

  • Liked — Central Location

“much better deal than this hotel!”

not a nice hotel but great location. I strongly recommend to find other options as the JH Florida is worn out, old and not comfy. We got 2 small beds instead of the king we booked, the glass on the window was broken (being dangerous) and some of the buttons on the lift don't even work.

“Don't Stay Here - Awful!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2008

The room was tiny, the bed wasn't a full double, the staff were incompetent, the food was terrible. My husband and I had been to BA, Bariloche, Puerto Montt, Santiago and stopped back in BA before returning home. I would never stay here again, the staff were rude, the breakfast was abysmal, the room was not nice. It was a shame as everywhere else in Argentina was great.

“Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2008

person found this review helpful

Being single was expecting a small room, stayed 2 nights, got a big room on the 7th floor, double bed, sheets changed on the 2nd night, desk area, free internet conection and free continental breakfast, which inc scrambled eggs but you need to ask for them as they are not offered at the buffet section. Breakfast was OK usual mixed diced fresh fruit, sliced cheese,ham, bread etc. Reception was helpful, even though they gave wrong directions to a bar I requested. Hotel on the main shopping street in Buenos Aires. Took about 45 mins to walk to cathredral and government buildings. and walking the other way 45 mins to the cemetary. Took a bus back cost 1 peso which you have to put into a machine for your ticket. Be careful if walking on side streets, heard reports that some people were mugged as I nearly was. Senor Tango show in a very large building and very comercialised but show was very enjoyable and no dearer than an inferior one I went to. Would recommend anf stay again

“Good location, reasonably priced and comfortable hotel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2008

We stayed here for 3 nights over new years in December 2007. The rate was about 100 Euro for a twin room which included breakfast. The location is very good - just off Florida street and the departure point for most tours etc (SanMartin Sq). We had a large clean room and the service was efficient and friendly, accommodating our early check in and late check out. Breakfast was fine also. The hotel is a good option for people looking for a reasonably priced comfortable hotel. The hotel is on a pedestrian street, about 50m from a well serviced taxi rank.
