The hotel is perfectly situated nearby to historic and cultural attractions, but far enough away from the port to avoid the mass of cruise ship passengers. The staff were all very kind and helpful with questions, taxis, etc. the view from the rooftop is also quite nice.

Quaint boutique hotel in good location.

Quaint and coveniently located boutique hotel within walking distance of the main public areas and the Palacio Salvo. Breakfast was good as was the stir fry at the restaurant. Staff were pleasant and helpful. My only complaint is that my top floor room had a very nice patio area but the chairs were of poor and flimsy quality. The deck could also use a table.

Views from the room were very nice, and the property had everything we needed. Powerful AC. The staff were very helpful and kind. We arrived early by Buquebus from Buenos Aires, and they stowed our luggage. A day before we arrived we requested a slightly early check-in, but they were unable to accommodate us. It was the one thing they might have been able to do better.

Nice, basic hotel. Staff were professional, but didn’t make extra effort to be friendly or helpful. Absolutely no issues, to be clear but a little “sparkle” goes a long way in hospitality. The area was quite noisy, even with window shut and latched, but that can be expected in urban areas. In house restaurant and bar was sufficent, but hours and menu were limited and it was confusing on seating/service/ordering expectations.

Great Hotel but situated near very loud Night Club

The hotel is very pleasantly situated in the downtown area of Montevideo. It is clean, modern and very comfortable. The staff all provided a high level of customer service, although language barriers were sometimes an issue.- but in fairness their English was much better than my Spanish. I would have been very satisfied with the hotel and everything about it. However the stay was ruined by the nearby club whcih oipens from 11.00pm to 5.30am. Throughout the night, the noise of the excessively loud and relentless music, plus the noise of the customers who were partying thoughout the night made sleep impossible.
