Well located with a nice breakfast. The staff was super helpful. Recommended
Stayed for 3 nights in one of their larger rooms that was really nice with a King size bed and plenty of space to move around. The room, the bed , the bathroom was immaculately clean. The location is in the heart of the old town. Everything checked out for us and would highly recommend.
This hotel is fantastic! The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious with many options. We especially enjoyed the staff who were kind and accommodating!
Hotel very clean, front desk staffs very kind and helpful. The location in the center of ciudad vieja, locals friendly, big 5$ breakfast. I enjoyed my stays
An older hotel, which I like. Rooms are small, common in older hotels. Beds are very comfortable, hot water is available at all times. Rooms in the back look into a private courtyard with a fountain, which helps one fall asleep. Very clean and well-maintained property with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is situated near the port, an abundance of restaurants, and cafes.
Well located in the old town. Although an old building, it is suitably upgraded within. Friendly staff. A little difficult to navigate to it's off-site parking site (use your Google Maps). The breakfast is very light, but there are great restaurants and grocery stores within easy walking distance.

My room was TOO LITTLE. Couldnt even open my luggage n the floor. Unfortunately, i had a room in second floor netx to the elevator and across the street from the bus stop. It was really noisy. Would not recommend if you want to rest or work. On the other hand, location was excellent
Very nice older hotel which is pretty good value. Lots of restaurants in this historic area. The only concern is the level of noise at night - I would request a room that doesn't border the main street as "bums" frequent the street and yell all night long. The staff at this hotel are excellent - the room was small but very clean and the breakfast not worthwhile.

Nice hotel in a good location
Check in was great, room was ready early and the lovely receptionist allowed me to check in which was much needed after a long flight. Extremely friendly staff who gave advice when I needed it.
Good location near the food market and centre.
Room was smallish and slightly dates but perfect for the couple of nights I was there. Bathroom very clean with amenities provided.
Breakfast was mainly cereal, bread, cakes and fruit but easy to fill yourself up for the day with all on offer and lovely strong coffee.
It’s in la cuidad vieja very close to the port where many cruise ships dock and many tourists in the area restaurants and bars very friendly people. Around the corner of the hotel is a very popular pedestrian walk way with shops and bars even at night its safe in this area police station on back corner street with many officers walking around. Hotel is simple with a/c and very friendly staff.
Safe, quiet and interesting location in old Montevideo. Pretty good breakfast with strong coffee. Very clean. Hot showers on demand. Attentive staff. Good cable televisión. Great stay !!

The room was not that spacious. The overall experience was good. The breakfast was good and the staff friendly.
Missing suggesting tour's flyers and printed suggestions brochures for one day excursions as well, should be inside the hotel. I had to find out myself about where to go, thing that I did by myself.
The overall experience was good.
The reception by Oscar was esplendid, a person that make your stay confortable and frendly. He's the type of person that provides the added value to any company. The hotel is vey nice and convenient, it's very close to the port, with low luggage could be a walking distance from the Port.
