Alma Histórica is a wonderful little hotel in a quiet neighborhood in the old city. Each room is themed and unique. There are restaurants and shopping within walking distance, and there is limited parking on the street. The staff are wonderful and super helpful, and I can’t say enough about them. It’s near the port and the Museo del Carnaval, so if you are there during Carnaval season, you can walk to see the tablados.

Absolutely fantastic service and hospitality. They went above and beyond in every respect. The room was comfortable, the hotel secure and safe, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful. The living room on the second floor was useful for some meetings we had - not private, but we weren't ever bothered by anyone. The decor and furnishings are very classical. We have only good things to say and would happily stay here again.

Is location enough?

This was part of a multi city vacation with friends. We chose this hotel because we usually enjoy the “old town” of a city. Though a great location for exploring, I did not always feel safe, the streets were filthy and the prolific graffiti did not improve our sense of comfort. The hotel was great. It’s surrounding was unexpectedly not good.

This hotel is quaint and very cute. The rooms are OKD, which is not bad, but in our room, the shower was broken and flooded the bathroom at each use. The property was very clean, the breakfast was excellent, and the staff could not be friendlier or more eager to please. Without the shower issue, I would highly recommend this hotel. Rooms and bathrooms do need a little upgrade/upkeep.

I was only there for 2 nights and it’s a lovely hotel, staff were extremely helpful. The staircase and breakfast area were my favourite part of the hotel. Rooftop was great too and didn’t use the jacuzzi. Breakfast buffet was fantastic, spoilt for choice and Nielsen was extremely welcoming. I found the room bare, missing that warmth and bathroom amenities, vanity kits supplied by hotel was minimal too. Wasn’t impressed especially with the price tag however you are paying for location. No bedside lamps and phone.

Wonderful Hotel

As your drive up to Alma Historica Boutique Hotel you are transported away. You are in the old city of Montervide full of old buildings with character. A lovely park is across the street. The door opens with a welcoming smile. The hotel takes the historica seriously from the lobby to the rooms. Each room is decorated in the theme of a famous citizen of Uruguay. Our first room was the Don Joaquin. Don Joaquin kept popping up throughout our trip in museums, restaurants, virtually everywhere. It was interesting to learn about him. The room was lovely and very large with a sitting room that could be closed off. The bathroom was a good size with nice water pressure in the rain shower. Later in our trip we came back for a night and had a much smaller room on a lower floor. The room was cramped for two people and their luggage. But the bathroom and shower were a good size. Like many hotels in South America neither room had a kettle or coffee maker. The view from the rooftop was lovely . We enjoyed having a glass of Tannat while admiring the view. We did not use the jacuzzi ¬ it seemed a bit cold for us. Breakfast is served in a lovely room off the lobby. The offerings are pretty much the same every day but tasty none the less. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. The location is perfect for exploring the old town. For us the best part of Alma Historica is its employees. They were always smiling, ready to answer questions, get a bucket of ice, or give

A unique property that has history and aristocratic elegance that will really enhance your visit to Uruguay and expand your understanding of the country. It even has a library for lingering and browsing! One of the very best and most memorable stays in our 30-year travel history to 40+ countries.
