Staff was nice enough but place was smelly and run down with bad music coming through the wall from the neighbor. The market next door was only for barbecue restaurants and tourist items. Not an actual market. We left after one night ASAP. The area has potential to come back to life some day and it really should since it is full of historic jewels that have been neglected.

Likes: Comfortable bed, nice shower The owner drive us into the city for dinner because we were scared and nervous to walk. We took a cab back and the cabbie warned us not to walk out at night at all. Dislikes: The area is full of homeless, drug addicts. There was no window, which is probably a blessing because we didn't want to see the outside. We only stayed one night and went to another hotel. If you are women traveling alone, do NOT stay at this hotel.

Carlos

POS’s: Easy walk to/from BS AS ferry, close to the market & tourist info. Hot water in abundance, walk-in shower, bed was okay not stellar. NEG’s: Bed on a platform not well supported, lack of attention to detail, light fixtures don’t work, odds and ends broken or in disrepair, dust bunnies abound, soundproofing inadequate, they play Muzak in the common areas from 7 am onwards. I do give them credit for trying to make it at that location in the otherwise forgotten and slowly gentrifying Cuidad Vieja. I complained about being bitten in the unkempt first room I was assigned. No attempt to move me until I packed up and said I’d write a bad Expedia review. A better customer service response would have ameliorated the situation.

We loved our stay directly across from El Puerto de Montevideo. Be sure to stop in for amazing food and drink, as well as souvenirs! The staff is very friendly, and even though we were there in the winter, we took advantage of the rooftop pool area for some sunshine and relaxation. The Indoor Coffee Shop next door is a great place to start your day in the old town!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. On the very first day, I stepped on a piece of glass, a clear indication of inadequate cleaning. The property itself was in disrepair, with unstable shower bars, broken drains, and damaged chairs. The in-room phone was out of order, compounding our frustrations. Despite displaying the do not disturb sign daily, the cleaning staff persistently knocked on our door and disregarded our request for privacy. Although the Don Hotel advertised a 24-hour laundry service, the staff refused to wash guest clothing unless specifically instructed by the owner, resulting in delays that made the service virtually unusable. It would be less frustrating if the hotel did not offer laundry service at all. Mara, a key front desk employee, consistently treated us with rudeness and a lack of professionalism during every interaction. To make matters worse, security staff aggressively confronted us in our own room, which I later learned was instigated by Mara. Feeling unsafe and unwelcome, we decided to leave early and checked into another hotel, where we finally received the courtesy and respect we expected from the start.

Uma experiência incrível, pra quem sabe aproveitar

A localização do hotel é perfeita, de frente ao mercado do Porto, com farmácias, restaurantes, supermercados bem próximos, a noite é bem deserto, porém Montevideo é uma cidade muito segura. O atendimento é 10/10 todos muito atenciosos e falam um portunhol bem compreensivo. As instalações do hotel, são simples porém muito limpas. Quartos aquecidos, água quente. Tivemos uma experiência incrível na cidade. Uma obs: o café da manhã é a Lá carte, tudo fresquinho novo e quente ❤️ o terraço tem uma vista linda.

Surpreendente

Não costumo dar relatos, mas o hotel merece! Não tínhamos grande expectativa pois vimos comentários ruins mas o hotel surpreendeu em tudo. Água quente, aquecedor (estava muito frio), estacionamento gratuito (ficamos 4 dias), café da manhã INCRÍVEL!!!! Nem sabíamos que tinha direito ao café. Chamo a atenção para os funcionários Diego, Miguel e o homem que trabalha no café da manhã. Eles foram muito atenciosos e prestativos. Parece um lugar mais para casal, ou pequenos grupos. Fomos apenas eu e minha mãe, e nos surpreendemos por tudo. O hotel fica em frente ao Mercado do Porto e na esquina de uma rua super movimentada. Nos sentimos seguras, mas o pessoal da recepção informou que era mais tranquilo andarmos apenas nas principais e não nas paralelas mais vazias. Tudo perfeito, obrigada!

My only advice is stay away!! The rooms were horribly filthy. There was a later of dirt on the shelves. It’s touristy during the day and dangerous at night in the area. The bathrooms were filthy. I rented for 2 night. Decided I would stay just one night and sleep on top of the sheets. I went to take a shower and the tub was filthy with globs of soap on there handle. The tub was cracked. The toilet not cleaned properly. I decided to leave immediately!! The offered me another room. I looked at the other room ands it wasn’t any better. I booked another hotel and left. And of course, the property refused to refund my money. Buyer beware!!!

The Hotel is really nice, the staff, the breakfast is ok (you choose what to eat from a menu the day before), you have a car Garage included with the fare, the room is clean the bath is nice, has a little fridge, cable tv, wifi, air conditioning, everything what you need to be comfortable. in the roof top is a nice solarium and a pool, it must be really enjoyable in spring or summer. The Hotel is located near the port, in front to the Mercado del Puerto, a place call Ciudad Vieja (Old City) a nice and tourist Market with restaurants and gifts shops. In the night the area arround the Hotel is not so beauty as it is at daylight. Nothing to complain about the Hotel, the surroundings has many walking streets with restaurants, pubs and other ammenities, but you have to be carefull in the night. Like any other tourist area. We will be back to this Hotel for shure.

Warm Staff in the Heart of the Old City

We had a great stay at the Don Boutique. The entire staff—from the front desk, to housekeeping, to the maintenance men—simply could not have been friendlier or more accommodating! The location is super convenient to the port for BuqueBus ferries, and the hotel overlooks the old Port Market. The room was spacious, if a bit dated. But it was still a very comfortable stay.
