Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. I booked a Single Executive room—compact but perfectly equipped with everything I needed. The balcony was stunning, offering breathtaking views that made every moment feel special. Staff were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout my stay. I made use of the spa facilities, which, while modest in size, were highly enjoyable—the sauna, Scottish shower, and heated pool were all relaxing and well-maintained. Location couldn’t be better; it’s within easy reach of everything I wanted to explore. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent, making it a great value for money. One small suggestion: adding a power outlet near the bedside tables would make charging devices much more convenient. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be returning.
Staying at Hotel Apartur Mar del Plata was a delightful experience. The property is incredibly peaceful, with charming cabins that are well-maintained and cozy. The mattresses were brand new—definitely a plus for a good night’s sleep. However, the towels in the cabins and by the pool could use an update; they’re showing signs of wear. That said, the pool area is always clean and well-kept, offering plenty of space to sunbathe or relax with a cup of mate. The multi-use common area has seen significant improvements, including a better outdoor grill setup—perfect for casual barbecues. Overall, it's a quiet, comfortable retreat with great value, and I’d happily return.
Staying at Grand Hotel Santa Teresita was a wonderful experience overall. The pool is excellent, and having a direct view of the beach from our room made it feel like we were right on the water's edge—truly stunning. The cleanliness throughout the hotel is impressive, and despite its age, the property is well-maintained with nice views and a pleasant dining area. Breakfast was solid—nothing fancy, but filling and satisfying. One small downside was the pillows; they weren’t to my personal preference. That said, the room was spacious, comfortable, and had effective air conditioning. We booked a separate suite for five people, and it worked out perfectly for our group. The location is convenient, close to the beach and easy to get around by public transit. Overall, a great value stay with a charming atmosphere—I’d definitely come back.
This place exceeded all my expectations! The apartment has been recently renovated and feels truly modern and fresh. Everything you need in the kitchen is here—refrigerator, stove, washing machine, electric kettle, coffee maker—all brand new and in perfect condition. The bathroom is spotless, and both bedrooms are comfortably furnished with high-quality mattresses and pillows. The only thing to note is that you’ll need to bring your own sheets and towels, but honestly, that’s a minor detail. What really makes this stay unforgettable is the location and the view—right on the waterfront with breathtaking ocean vistas. Waking up to the sound of waves and watching the sunrise from the balcony was pure magic. I can’t wait to come back. This is an absolute gem for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped getaway with unbeatable value.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Aatrac! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring the city—whether you're out for a stroll, shopping, or just soaking in the local vibe, everything is within easy reach. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The room was quiet and comfortable, ideal for unwinding after a long day. The TV came with cable channels, which was a nice touch. One thing to note: there's no on-site parking, but there are several 24-hour parking options nearby, so it’s not a major inconvenience. The only minor downside is some street noise, especially if you’re sensitive to sounds. Overall, this hotel offers great value, a fantastic location, and a truly relaxing experience. Highly recommend!
Staying at Solanas Playa Mar del Plata felt like stepping into a forgotten property. The entire complex is clearly in serious need of maintenance and renovation. From the moment we arrived, it was obvious that nothing had been properly cared for in years. The window blind cord was jammed, and the cover had come loose—when I opened it, it fell right onto my feet. The bathroom curtain rod was bent and sagging, clearly worn out and in urgent need of replacement. What really stood out—and deeply disappointed me—was the toilet lift chair designed for guests with mobility challenges. It was in terrible condition, showing no signs of being prepared or even considered for accessibility. The kitchen drawers were in an awful state: chipped edges, peeling paint, missing corners, and wood swollen from moisture. We tried using the stove during cold weather but couldn’t light it ourselves—it required calling maintenance staff to do it manually. That’s unacceptable for a self-contained apartment. The access ramp to the pool is dangerously steep—way too steep to meet national accessibility standards (Law No. 24,314) or local municipal regulations. And forget about the bathrooms or elevator—they’re not adapted at all. To reach the pool, guests have to exit the building, walk along a cracked sidewalk, climb steps, and cross uneven ground. For someone in a wheelchair, this is simply impossible. Even worse, the former showroom was being used as a makeshift painting station—paint cans, rollers, and stone-cutting tools scattered across what should’ve been a clean display area. It was embarrassing. Overall, the place feels abandoned. There’s no mention of this property on the official website, yet we were charged annual fees during the pandemic with zero access. Where did the money go? This complex is clearly neglected, and I’d strongly advise others to avoid it—especially if you or anyone in your group has mobility limitations.
The staff at this hotel truly stood out—always smiling, incredibly friendly, and genuinely eager to help with any request or provide information. The location is perfect: right by the beach and just a short walk from downtown attractions. The heating in the room works wonderfully, making it cozy even on cooler days, and the breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options. The only minor issue I noticed was that the bathroom gets a bit wet during showers, but it’s a very small inconvenience. Overall, this place offers excellent value and an unforgettable stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Mar del Plata!
The cabins are nice and comfortable, with a peaceful, quiet atmosphere. However, the owner's attitude was extremely unpleasant—always grumpy and unfriendly from the moment we arrived. He imposed strict and arbitrary rules: parking was an issue, even though he allowed cars to park on the sidewalk right in front of the cabins. Visits were also discouraged or outright banned without explanation. It felt like the stay was dictated by his mood rather than guest comfort. Unfortunately, this negative experience overshadowed everything else. I wouldn’t return, and I can’t recommend this place to anyone.
We stayed here with my husband and our two daughters. The check-in requires climbing about 20 steps, which can be tough if you're carrying luggage—something to keep in mind. Overall, the hotel is very basic and shows clear signs of neglect in maintenance. While the staff were friendly, that couldn’t make up for the rest. When we got to our room, we were shocked: the beds were dirty with sand, the wooden walls looked old and worn, and the bathroom was not just outdated—it was filthy and poorly maintained, with visible mold on the walls. There were large spider webs in the corners of the ceiling, giving the impression they’d been there for decades. The hotel promotes a beachfront view, but in reality, you have to cross a busy road and a large grassy area just to reach the sea. We spent only ten minutes in the room before deciding to leave, even though we’d already paid a deposit. We immediately found another hotel nearby. I would never come back, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
We stayed at Elegance Hotel for 9 days and 8 nights, and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Our room, 403 facing the front, was spacious—around 30 square meters—with a desk, mini-fridge, and central air conditioning, making it very comfortable for our extended stay. The hotel’s location is perfect, just steps away from Playa Grande beach, with easy access to public transit and local attractions. The breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and well-prepared. We especially loved the rooftop pool deck on floor 7, which offered a relaxing spot with great sea views. The staff were outstanding—Valentina and Marcos went above and beyond to address any concerns immediately, showing real care and professionalism. Housekeeping was consistently clean and attentive, with a friendly and courteous team. This place truly deserves its four-star rating. I’d highly recommend it and will definitely be returning. A standout choice for anyone visiting Mar del Plata.
Honestly, this was a disappointing experience. We booked the hotel based on the photos posted on their website—everything looked clean and well-maintained, which made us believe it was a good choice. Unfortunately, the reality was far from it. The room lacked even a bedside table, had no place to put anything down, and was filled with cobwebs and ants. The bathroom was tiny, poorly ventilated, and smelled unpleasant. There wasn’t a single hook for hanging clothes or even a shelf to place essentials. We raised concerns multiple times, but the owner refused to acknowledge the serious shortcomings. It’s hard to believe this place claims to be a 3-star property. After two days of discomfort, we decided to leave early. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone—especially when the online images don’t match the actual conditions. Be cautious if you’re considering staying here.
The hotel is a bit old but very clean, which made me feel comfortable during my stay. The main downside was the lack of power outlets—only one in the bathroom, which was inconvenient. The beds were worn out and creaked loudly when lying down, making me worry they might collapse. However, the room was spacious and well-proportioned, and the quiet atmosphere meant no noise from neighbors, so it was easy to relax and sleep well. Breakfast was excellent—the staff were attentive and the options were good. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a block away from the new shopping center, about three blocks to Guemes, and a 7-block walk to the beach. It's super convenient for exploring the area on foot or by public transit. Despite the minor drawbacks, I’d definitely stay here again just for the great price-to-location ratio.
