Location is excellent hotel is clean breakfast is good

Ariel, United States of America

This is a good hotel with a standard breakfast that is in the middle of the city action. The front desk staff had limited English especially outside of business hours so be prepared with Spanish! Staff was polite and helpful at every possible opportunity. The single rooms are quite small but good for one person. The hotel is close to the Plaza Independencia and other Ciudad Vieja sights like Teatro Solis. The front desk was willing to rent me a bicycle for the day and store it in the lobby for me. FYI the hallways have lights which operate on timers, which I know is an energy saving feature, but which is a little jarring for a single woman traveling alone (stepping into a dark hallway). I did not feel unsafe but it was a little unnerving.

Sara, United States of America

Location was a plus and the staff is committed to their job, everyone very very helpful! I would come back definitely

Gabriela, Bolivia

The beakfast was good. The lady attends was super nice.

Manuel, United States of America

It is located in one of the best locations of montevideo, super helpful staff, and very tidy rooms , decent breakfast and good value for money.

Peeyush, India

good loacation near city center(10 min walk to main square), good breakfast, friendly staff

Luka, Croatia

We dropped off our luggage long before check-in time, and when we got back the staff had already taken it to our room. There was an elevator. Comfy and pretty seating area in lobby; breakfast was fairly hearty and reasonably priced. Bed was somewhat comfortable. Good internet. Good bakery with warm tortas [kind of like quiche] just across the street, small market at the corner. Morning coffee at store across street.

The front staff were not friendly. Polite that’s all. They are not aware that a smile means a lot. It seems to me that I didn’t received that I paid for. The explanation and pictures on Booking.com did match reality. I cleaned the bathroom. The sink was loaded with hair and didn’t drain. This morning runout of water.

“I would not stay here again unless I were traveling alone and a tiny room was adequate.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
TINY room; almost impossible to move around. If one of us wanted to access a suitcase, shelves, etc., the other had to sit on the bed and stay out of the way;. No microwave oven, no access to hot water to make coffee, etc. No trash can in room; no fitted sheet on bed, so the sheets kept coming off the mattress all night. No drawers -- shelves seem to be the norm in Uruguay. No back-up generator; when the electricity went out for 3 hours at night, my husband could not sleep because his CPAP machine was, obviously, not working. The elevator never stopped exactly at the level of the floor -- not so bad as long as you noticed to step up or down and not trip, but quite difficult when dealing with heavy luggage. Elevator door would not stay open more than a few seconds and injuries were hard to avoid.
We dropped off our luggage long before check-in time, and when we got back the staff had already taken it to our room. There was an elevator. Comfy and pretty seating area in lobby; breakfast was fairly hearty and reasonably priced. Bed was somewhat comfortable. Good internet.
