Reading all the reviews posted about this place really brings home how we all have different things we are looking for. Yes, as other reviewers say the hotel could use some updating and a little TLC around the edges. But my room was absolutely clean and quite pleasant to pass the time in, in between activities.

The hotel is located very centrally and so is a good base for seeing Montevideo on foot. That is a good thing because the rooms are rather dated and not that great to spend a lot of time in. They do the job and the price is reasonable for what you get, but the hotel could do with an upgrade.... More

We stayed here for one night and booked off hotels.com in a last minute hurry. The hotel is central but I would not say the area is very good. We were extra cautious coming home at night. The room itself was from the 70s and while it looked clean on the surface it did not feel very clean. The hotel... More

The hotel is good for a citytrip, convenient located near the center and busstop to go to either the old city or the citybeach “Pocitos”. There’s a indoor swimmingspool too. Breakfast is fine. Neg: capacity of breakfastroom during the weekend; people had to wait for a table and same used the table of the bar area instead. Bathroom: constant light... More

This hotel-of-a-certain-age is well maintained and, as other reviewers have remarked, is distinguished by its congenial staff and excellent breakfast which considerably exceeds the South American norm. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. More

I can't fault this hotel. The location was fine, pretty close to the centre and with plenty of restaurants within five minutes' walk if you don't want to stray too far. It probably takes about 15 minutes to walk to the centre of town, and it is a straightforward walk. If you keep to the main streets, it feels relatively... More

This place is a fine place to stay for a few days if you want to be in Centro (downtown) Montevideo, as I did. I was passing through from the Punta del Este beach resorts, back to Buenos Aires via the hydrofoil ferry. The ferry dock is close-by, as is the Ciudad Viejo (the Old City) of Montevideo. As it's...

Even though the physical plant is a bit rundown, the hotel's staff puts itself out for you. The breakfast is exceptional. The location can't be beat. Wifi is delivered by floor, with a separate section for the lobby bar, with different passwords for each. My iPhone almost had a nervous breakdown. Some street noise if you have a room at... More

The weekend stay was really closed up and hard to find open shops and Restaurants. We are walkers and perhaps we did not find our way at first. The Breakfast was above Average with great Coffee and a wide selection. WiFI good not great but you for sure could get it. The room was a bit small but I cannot... More

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. It´s not quite what one would expect for a 4 stars hotel. Worn furniture, old fashioned lobby, needs renovating. Windows aren´t noise proof, so be prepared to the noise from the street, since it´s in a central area. We didn´t feel very safe walking around at night, since the streets are dark... More
