Gran Hotel Opera
Staying at Gran Hotel Opera was a great experience, especially considering the value for money. The hotel is perfectly located in Mar del Plata—just a short walk from the beach and downtown area, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and comfortably furnished with modern amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. I highly recommend trying their lunch or dinner service—both are excellent options. The set menus include an appetizer, main course, and dessert, all thoughtfully prepared with classic hotel-style touches. The food was delicious, well-balanced, and portioned just right. Dining here during sunset with views of the sea made the meal even more memorable. Overall, Gran Hotel Opera offers a reliable, enjoyable stay that fits perfectly within its price range. Definitely a place I’d return to on future trips to Mar del Plata.
Hotel Nueva Italia
The hotel is about 20 blocks from the beach, which is a bit far, but it's located in a lively area with constant activity around. We parked our car outside every night without any issues—security has really improved since the local authorities relocated the previous transient groups. The owners are absolutely outstanding—11 out of 10 for service! Breakfast was delicious and well-prepared, and the room cleanliness was top-notch. What stood out most was their genuine love for animals—there were stray cats and dogs around, and they clearly care for them. It’s rare to find such warmth and kindness in hospitality. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mar del Plata.
Hotel San José Mdq
This stay was a complete disaster from start to finish. The entire room was soaked with moisture—walls, floors, even the bathroom was dripping. We weren’t given a single towel for bathing, and the sheets were old, stained, and clearly never washed. On the first night, there was no hot water at all—just freezing cold showers. The rooms weren’t cleaned during our stay, and we found ants crawling around in the bedroom, which was absolutely horrifying. The toilet was loose and wobbly, and the tiny two-by-two bathroom flooded every time we turned on the tap. The staff’s service was subpar—rude, indifferent, and completely unhelpful. This place felt more like a nightmare than a hotel. I’ve stayed in many places worldwide, but nothing comes close to this level of neglect. Do not stay here—avoid it at all costs.
Hotel Bermudas
This hotel is absolutely perfect! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the beach and close to all the local attractions. The owners and staff are incredibly warm and attentive, going above and beyond to meet every need. The room was completely renovated with a brand-new bed and modern bathroom—so comfortable and spotless. Cleanliness is outstanding; you can tell they take pride in their standards. I’ve stayed at many hotels before, but this one truly stands out. I’d return without hesitation and would even give it more stars if possible—it absolutely deserves it!
Garden Hotel
The location is fantastic for travelers without their own transportation. It's just steps away from the heart of Mar del Plata, and the garden facing the street is a real highlight—a peaceful oasis amidst the bustling city center. While the room bathrooms and Wi-Fi could use some improvement—especially when many guests are online—the overall experience remains strong. Just like in 2019, my stay in January 2022 was still very satisfying, with great value for money and a welcoming atmosphere.
Mar del Faro
Staying at Mar del Faro was one of the highlights of my trip to Mar del Plata. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the beach and the lively nightlife around the lighthouse area. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making check-in and check-out smooth and flexible. I appreciated how affordable the rates were for the quality and convenience offered. The hotel truly captures the spirit of the electronic music scene here—every weekend brings a different vibe, great tunes, and an open-minded crowd. It’s easy to meet new people, make friends, and just enjoy being part of something fun and energetic. Whether you're looking for a chill beachside stay or a vibrant party atmosphere, this place delivers on both. If you’re into late-night beats, good vibes, and authentic local energy, don’t miss out. A perfect blend of comfort, culture, and connection.
Hotel di Sorrento
The service at Hotel di Sorrento is exceptional—especially since the ownership recently changed, and the new management has really stepped up their game. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to help with anything we needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a perfect balance of temperature and lighting. Located just a short walk from the metro station, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring downtown Mar del Plata. This place offers fantastic value and genuine hospitality. I’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The property is beautifully set within a lush, spacious garden that feels peaceful and private—perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Mar del Plata. The breakfast was exceptional, fresh and delicious, served personally by the kind and attentive owners who made us feel right at home. We were especially grateful that parking was included with our booking—no extra hassle or cost.

El Aleph Hotel Boutique
Staying at El Aleph Hotel Boutique in Mar del Plata was an absolute delight. Located just a short walk from Varese Beach and only a few blocks from the larger beach, it’s perfectly positioned for seaside relaxation. This boutique-style hotel offers spacious, thoughtfully furnished rooms with a king-sized bed, plush pillows, and a generous bathroom featuring both a tub and shower — plus double sinks, which is a nice touch. Each room opens to a beautifully landscaped garden with two loungers perfect for soaking up the sun. The breakfast area is small but cozy, and since there are only six rooms, you’ll never feel crowded — we were often the only ones enjoying breakfast, even during peak hours. The breakfast itself was well-rounded and satisfying. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome without ever overstepping — warm, attentive, yet respectful of privacy. There’s also an internal parking area available for overnight stays, though cars need to be parked on the street during the day. Overall, this is a hidden gem ideal for a quiet, rejuvenating getaway. Highly recommended for anyone seeking comfort, charm, and a peaceful escape.
Zure Etxea
Staying at Zure Etxea felt like visiting family — it's warm, personal, and run by the owners themselves. I've known them for over 30 years, and their kindness and genuine hospitality truly shine through. The place is spotless from top to bottom, with every corner well-maintained. I highly recommend using the dedicated parking area if you're arriving by car — it’s secure and convenient. Best of all? You can walk to the beach in just a few blocks. Perfect for morning strolls or evening sunset views. This isn’t just a stay — it’s an experience. If you’re looking for charm, cleanliness, and a welcoming vibe in Mar del Plata, this is the place to be.
Solanas Playa Mar del Plata
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.
