My husband, myself and my brother in law stayed at the Plaza Fuerte for four nights in August of 2011. The hotel was very charming. The room was bigger than I expected, nicely decorated the bathroom was specious and even had a bidet! The breakfast was delicious. The staff was the best of what this hotel has to offer, super...

We went here after arriving late in Montevideo and seeing the description in lonely planet. We dumped our bags and went out for dinner. When we arrived back in the hotel the initial allure of the architecture of the old building had worn off and we realised that the room was really dirty. The net curtains were grubby,the carpets filthy... More

Old coverted building with a very old school life, the rooms are large (we had a split level room, with bedroom/bathroom upstairs and large lounge/balcony downstairs). The facilities were ok, but could have been a bit cleaner (stain on carpet). Breakfast is reasonable. The hotel also have private parking if you hire a car, which is about 5 min walk... More

Close to Plaza Independence this is a good location in an area of Montevideo that has plenty of character. The lift dates back to 1913 and the rooms have 4-5 metre ceilings. The modernized duplex rooms with a the bed and bathroom upstairs have appeal even though the shower is a little bit small for some. The beds are comfortable... More

they advertise as a four star hotel, which it could be if the rooms would not be so outdated, bathrooms with broken walls and tiles. we have requested a better, refurbished room, and they kept giving us bigger rooms with the same broken, stained walls, stained carpets,... the only good thing is central and nice location within walking distance to...

The hotel is in an older historical building that was an exceptional value for the price we paid. Its location was excellent in that it was near shopping and within walking distance of the Mercado Del Puerto which housed several good restaurants. Although it was clean enough and modernized, there were some attributes of our room that were downright poor... More

This hotel has two things going for it: location (close to the old town and heart of things) and service (very helpful even though most of them don't speak English). The downsides are that the rooms are dirty, muggy, and just plain not nice! I wish they had kept the old character charm of this old building but the rooms... More

The hotel is right next to a string of bars/restaurants - perfect if you want to stay out and eat or party. That might be an issue for people trying to sleep, but we were out late and from New York City, so it didn't bother us at all. It's also around the corner from 2 of the main plazas.... More

We arrived on December 31st around noon. A street party had blocked all access to the hotel by car. Hotel staff was very helpful and accommodating in providing directions on how to find the parking garage and carrying our luggage to the hotel. During the afternoon, the street party (at the hotel footsteps) went on with loud music and people... More
