Gran Hotel Panamericano

Excellent service

Todo hermoso

Classic style hotel of some age, renovated. Excellent location. First of all, I would like to highlight the very good disposition of the hotel staff. From my point of view, and at all times, they were cordial and polite. The breakfast was very complete, both sweet and savoury, in the lounge on the 7th floor. Although it did not happen to me, I have read in other experiences that, sometimes, that lounge is full. Regarding the room (5th floor), I will try to be objective: I found it excellent in terms of lighting, view (facing the square), and space, but a little noisy, perhaps because of its location, so you can hear a lot of the noise of construction machinery, and some shouting from arguments in the street during the early hours. The wooden blinds, I think they have already earned their retirement... PVC or aluminium would be an interesting option. As for cleanliness, I think that attention should be paid to some spider webs that were there. What caught my attention the most was the amount of material (plaster dust/sand) that was on the shelf on which the safe rests. I was surprised that it is not walled in, so I took the opportunity to take it down, and I noticed that the top of it needed some cleaning, as well as the wood that serves as a shelf. Since it was Sunday afternoon/evening, it seemed inappropriate to go to the concierge to ask if I could use a vacuum cleaner (laughs), so I decided to deal with the issue myself with the resources I had at that time. I think I achieved a very good result, and the difference was noticeable. Regarding the bathroom, it is refinished with porcelain, and I think it turned out very well, but there is one detail inherent to safety: the porcelain floor of the bathtub turned out very nice, and it may be more practical for cleaning, but it could be dangerous for someone with soapy feet. Also, the view through the window should be noted, since it can be seen from the building opposite, on San Martín, which requires raising and lowering the blinds, respectively, to ventilate and to reduce the view. The parquet floor would have had a very nice finish at the beginning, although it seems to me that it is a little "bad" now, due to the time that has passed. It would also be nice if the windows had mosquito nets. That would not only prevent mosquitoes from entering, but also objects from falling outside. On the other hand, I understand that they were, or are undergoing renovations. The thing is that I often use the stairs, and I noticed that the railing of the stairs would need cleaning. Finally, I wonder if the detachment of material inside the closet was due to a possible problem of moisture filtration. It would be good to look into that issue. Despite everything stated, I would like to emphasize again the good treatment and attention of the staff. Until next time, and thank you. Carlos

Very good hotel. Excellent cleanliness, attention from employees and good breakfast! (Products from Fonte d Oro) Located at the end of the pedestrian street in the commercial area. There was a hot and cold water dispenser per floor.

El hotel es antiguo pero muy bien restaurado. Un poco oscuro en general. Mantiene los viejos pisos de granito en las áreas públicas y el parquet en las habitaciones, al igual que el placard. El mobiliario podría ser mejor. La ubicación es muy cómoda para desde allí moverse a cualquier punto. El personal de la recepción podría ser más cordial si tuviera ganas. El desayuno en el 7mo piso es muy bueno (les faltó huevos revueltos). La habitación es pequeña pero más la ducha! Increíblemente mide 50x50. Incomodísima! La cama y almohadas muy bien. Desde el lobby, hay acceso directo a "La Fonte D´Oro", ubicada en la esquina.

Es una muy buena opcion, para quienes como yo, viajan fuera de temporada a Mardel. El hotel esta en plena zona centrica, a una cuadra de la plaza San Martin y de la catedral. Si bien, el edificio, tiene sus años, esta refaccionado y mantenido al dia, con detalles como por ej las cerraduras digitales de las habitaciones. La habitacion super comoda, para 1 o 2 personas. Ducha caliente. Estufa siempre prendida. Frigobar y televisor grande. Cama comoda. Y el plus de que el desayuno incluye medialunas de La Fonte de Oro, mi confiteria preferida de la ciudad. Sin dudas pienso volver a alojarme alli.
