    excellent value for money, close proximity to Police HQ, fast WiFi

    great location
    broken elevator

    The hotel is located just a short walk from the main shopping street of Montevideo, making it convenient for exploring the area.

    The elevator didn't work during our stay, forcing us to use the stairs frequently, which was quite inconvenient.

    clean room
    noisy neighbors

    I stayed in a Standard Twin Room for 5 nights. The room was clean with a nice terrace view. Breakfast was decent but lacked variety. The noise from neighbors was a bit annoying. It was a solid stay, just a few things to improve.

    broken amenities
    mold spots

    The breakfast was disappointing with lack of variety, and many amenities in the room were broken. The shower caused a waterfall effect, soaking the bathroom each time we used it. I also noticed mold spots in both the bathroom and the bedroom, which marred the overall cleanliness of our stay.

    The hotel is conveniently located near popular attractions, making it easy to explore the area. My room was beautifully refurbished, and the breakfast offered a delightful selection of fresh fruit, pastries, and local meats.

    great breakfast
    reliable wifi
    elevator noise
    slight inconvenience

    Had a great stay in a clean, modern room with comfortable amenities. The breakfast was fantastic, featuring lots of fresh fruit, bread, and local options. Very convenient location near main attractions and delicious empanadas just across the street. WiFi was reliable throughout our stay.

    Noise from the elevator was a bit annoying.

    noisy room
    thin walls

    I stayed in a Standard Twin Room for 5 nights. The room was clean and they switched me to one with a terrace and a great view when I needed a table to work. However, it was quite noisy at times, and you could hear the neighbors pretty well. Overall, it was decent but didn’t feel super cozy at night.

    great location
    tasty breakfast
    friendly staff

    excellent value for money with a great location just a few blocks from the main streets, opposite a place that serves tasty empanadas. the air conditioning worked well and the breakfast was just what I needed, featuring local options like croissants and yogurt. friendly and helpful staff made my stay even better.

    small rooms feel a bit cramped with luggage.
