About
Gran Hotel Oriental
Gran Hotel Oriental sits in Balvanera, a Buenos Aires neighbourhood where tenement houses, old buildings and modern blocks mix. The area is lively and central, with El Ateneo Grand Splendid about a 15-minute walk away.
The hotel keeps things simple: a 24-hour front desk, Wi-Fi throughout, and a paid airport shuttle. Rooms range from guest rooms to family rooms, with the family option including air conditioning.
Guest ratings are modest across the board, with the lowest marks for value (6.2) and the highest for general impression (8.3) — though that top score comes from a category that isn't clearly labelled.
