I wanted to emphasize some of the points from other reviews to give travelers an accurate sense of what to expect from this hotel. On the pro side (and there were many), the hotel is adorable. Old world charm, great location for exploring downtown Montevideo, nice breakfast in a sunny room with a view of the city, modern furnishings in... more

Thank-you BuqueBus - they arranged our stay here. What a great find!! This charming, antiquated hotel, lovingly restored was one of my favorites in a three week vacation including Argentina. Check-out the elevator even if you are just passing by. The is hot-spot-central. If you don't mind sleeping with ear-plugs, choose a street side, balcony room. Best seat in the... more

Lovely old hotel in a great location. Free parking in a guarded lot around the corner. The internet worked well. Our room was on two levels - there was a spiral stairs to the bedroom. And that was the problem - the A/C was on the lower level and in the summer Montevideo is hot and cold does not rise.... more

This hotel is in a great location. You can walk to many nearby museums, stores and restaurants. It is in the old city a block from the old city gate. I was expecting it to be noisy, especially on the weekend when the street is full of people, but it was fine. This is an old building with an old... more

The hotel facade is lovely and the common areas are quite well done, however the rooms themselves are badly in need of refurbishment and cleaning. While the hotel is in a central location for bars, restaurants etc, at night the noise from the street is very loud and there is little that can be done about it (even if the... more

We saw this hotel on Samantha Brown's travel show on the travel channel, so we decided to give it a try. Also, my husband studied Spanish for a month in Montevideo before I returned with him to visit, and he thought this was a good location for exploring the city. The hotel is architecturally beautiful, with rooms opening out into... more

We stumbled into this hotel based on Samantha Brown's recommendation (she does a travel show). I must say that in her show it looked much better than in real life. In real life it looked like an old, majestic hotel that had gone decrepit then was renovated on the cheap. The room was claustrophobic and not something you want to... more

We arrived in Montevideo early afternoon and stumbled across this hotel just off the Plaza Independencia on the corner of Bartolome Mitre and Sarandi in the old town. The hotel is centrally located, clean and modern yet retains lots of character. We stayed in a comfortable standard duplex room with a balcony overlooking the street. The bathroom was a little... more

Stayed at this hotel just over 2 weeks ago and thought it was wonderful. We had 2 rooms on the 4th floor - my room had a high ceiling, flat screen TV, very comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The other room was on 2 levels! There were about 3 other rooms on the 4th floor that were all being... more
