It’s good value for money if only there for short stay. It’s 4 blocks away from the bus stop to airport. Breakfast was not bad. Room was clean.

Good breakfast, clean room, walking distance from the Plaza de la Independencia. A lot of restaurants and bars nearby. Good attention, staff willing to give some advice regarding tourist attractions. I stayed only one night, the room was a basic one, but it had the main features: cable TV, A /C, good breakfast, bath items.

Excellent location and great hotel. Great free breakfast, but not the best coffee (a sad reality in all Uruguay). Great bed, small but super comfortable room.

Laura

Location wise it is fantastic if you prefer to stay in an area that has some night activity. Montevideo's old town is pretty run-down so something in a more urban area feels safer. Breakfast is a good continental.

It was a very simple hotel. The roam was small and with old furniture.
It has a good location, neer the city centre. The staff was very helpful, and despite not having much diversity, the breakfast was good. For the money spent, it was good.

It was a little noisy. The hotel is not old, but still not in the best condition. The room was nice, but had nothing special. Not even a picture or something.
The reception has a cool design. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is very near to the old center. Since we had no expectations regarding the free breakfast, we were pretty happy.

“Disappointing experience. Very LOUD.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 5 nights
The LOUDEST elevator’s noise! Not just the elevator's engine, but also the lack of a sprint to prevent the sound of a blasting door. If you are a misophobic, do stay away. If you are staying from the 5th floor up (out of 6 floors) you will not find rest. Even if my room was 10 mts away from the elevator door I could not rest without earplugs and a noise cancelling headset. If you are obsessive with cleaning, stay away. Finding long hair from previous guests in the bedroom/bathroom is common, but bits of shaving in the soap shelve in the bathroom... the good part is that the cleaning staff is very sweet and funny. The quilt between linen and the coverlet was very stained - not those fat stains that stick forever, but something that would go away with a wash. I don’t understand how this hotel manage to keep its three start rank.
Location wise it is fantastic if you prefer to stay in an area that has some night activity. Montevideo's old town is pretty run-down so something in a more urban area feels safer. Breakfast is a good continental.

Room was basic, athmosphere wasn't great. Windows were not well isolated so the room was quite cold. Staff did not speak english.
The room was cheap for staying in the center of Montevideo.

Upon arrival, they gave me by mistake the key of another room already occupied. The elevator doesn't work well. The hotel is not very pretty. The shower doesn't have hot water, it is warm water and doesn't arrive with enough power.
Really good breakfast and a good location.
