3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2009

The hotel is centrally located, very clean, in person people at front desk are nice, not so much if you call from your room. This hotel was given four stars by someone, but in my opinion, it compares with two or two and a half hotels in the US. The stars might have something to do with the services that... More

We had stayed here before, and we remember it was a reasonably priced, 'boutiquie' hotel. That was 10 years ago. This time we had a special rate because we were staying 2 weeks. Had made the reservation two months earlier; when we arrived after a long international flight, instead of having a decent room ready for us, they gave us... More

I'm not sure how Balmoral Plaza got so many good reviews here (my main reason for booking a room). I saw one floor that was being renovated, perhaps the other reviewers stayed in a renovated room. Our room, like most of the hotel, was circa the late 60's. The carpet was old and wore, smoke smells, a barely functioning shower,... More

If you want a good price for a great location, that´s it! But it ´s not so close to the rambla. You will be at the center of MVD - and that´s nice! The breakfast...well...forget it. More

For $50 a night (got the deal on Expedia) I was not expecting much. When I arrived I noticed that listed prices were over $60 a night and I was pleased that I was getting a deal. They provided a secure safe for free which was nice. The location was very close to the old city and walking distance to... More

The hotel has a very good location, a few steps from the main avenue of montevideo, with fastfood restaurants, shops with souvenirs, exchange, taxi and bus stop. The hotel is near many police stations (in front of the women and children police station). The staff was very helpful. There was 2 computers in a room in the lobby with free... More

We spent a couple of nights here, as a way to see Montevideo for the day, which is a nicer city than some of your reviewers suggest. The old town is well worth a visit on Saturdays when the Port Market is full of locals and music, and the hotel backs onto a street with some nice restaurants, with its... More

One night trip from Buenos Aires to Montevideo using the buquebus ferry service to Colonia and then coach to Montevideo. Hotel is located on one of the many pleasant squares along the main shopping street of Montevideo. Plenty of restaurants, cafes and fast food outlets closeby. Bus stop opposite for services to/from the bus station where long distance coaches operate... More

The hotel is like the city. You would come here for business rather than for pleasure. There is not that much in the way of tourism in Montevideo, but still it was worth the boat trip on Buquebus from Buenos Aires. The hotel is your standard 3 star business hotel. You have your internet, phones, meeting rooms and so forth.... More

I agree with what everyone says about the great staff, who go above and beyond, and the internet access was fine and included in the price. You can get a second computer attached for free too. You just have to ask. The only thing I disagree with is about the free breakfast. The coffee was just undrinkable I thought, and... More
