Hotel Frossard

“Acceptable but not good the extra fee of 800 ARS when checkin in after 10 PM”

I had to choose this hotel as I needed to redeem my last few miles in the Intermiles program so what I indeed made was to "burn" miles in the lowest level of mileage for 1 night in a Buenos Aires hotel.

I had to choose this hotel as I needed to redeem my last few miles in the Intermiles program so what I indeed made was to "burn" miles in the lowest level of mileage for 1 night in a Buenos Aires hotel. The best option so far was Frossard hotel and I have to state it is an acceptable property according to the published rates . The very first I learned was an extra fee -not expressed in any travel website- that in September 2022 is worth 800 ARS when the check in happens after 10 PM. I found that to be abusive and going against consumer rights as it is not explicited in writing in any travel website. Good traits are location as it is located in the heart of downtown, continental breakfast served in "Los Inmortales" cafeteria (has good wi fi but no newspaper is provided), and TV access has Netflix but no access to air and cable tv of Buenos Aires. Rooms are confortable according to the star category of the establishement. The Venezuelan folk at the Front Desk is really kind, welcoming and empatic! Features that are drawbacks: check out at 10 am is really too early as that means a non-competitive time compared to several hotels in the city. Besides, no desktop computer is available.

“Overall good, but lacking a few things”

This was my first time in Buenos Aires and the hotel was more than sufficient for our needs. It is a little run down on the outside, and when we arrived we couldn't really figure out how to get in.

This was my first time in Buenos Aires and the hotel was more than sufficient for our needs. It is a little run down on the outside, and when we arrived we couldn't really figure out how to get in. We eventually saw a piece of A4 paper taped to the wall outside that was folded over by the wind. It had my name on it, with a number to call on arrival. Luckily my wife and I had international sim cards, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to call. We got let in and the lady was very nice and friendly. The room was a sufficient size, but could do with a little bit of care. The is one small bedside shelf on one side of the bed, and thats it. The plug sockets were strangely placed directly above the bed, and not to the side. It could have done with maybe a fold out table to put things on. The best thing by far was the location, so close to Galerías Pacífico and Calle Florida, as well as the tourist bus stop and Buquebus terminal. The one thing I would advise people to know is that the pictures are somewhat out of date, the hotel doesn't actually serve breakfast on the premises. You instead get a voucher for breakfast at a restaurant 5 mins walk away. It was fine, but a rather small. The wifi also only really worked in the lobby area, and not in the room. In general, our stay was fine and the staff were friendly and helpful. We even got plenty of cuddle time with Tito, their recently adopted 2 month old kitten!

“Frossard, good locaiton”

I have stayed at this hotel twice now, the frist time was back in 2007 and then again January. The hotel is in a good location and you can walk almost anywhere downtown... and the subway is close by.

I have stayed at this hotel twice now, the frist time was back in 2007 and then again January. The hotel is in a good location and you can walk almost anywhere downtown... and the subway is close by. I have stayed in a few rooms in this hotel, all were not bad in size and the bathrooms are small, but I think are the norm for South America. I would stay here again when i return to Buenos Aires as I am comfortable in this hotel.
