Lovely old hotel of character, ideally located in old town. Some comments refer to the neighbourhood being a bit debatable but it is quite safe. Remember you are in an old part of the city there will always be some people asking for money but there was never any problem. People also say there is no breakfast but breakfast is not included, however the hotel offer free coffee and croissant in the morning so no complaints there please ! It is a budget hotel, if you are looking for 4 star accommodation then book elsewhere and pay the much higher cost, if you are looking for character, good value and a brilliant location then this is for you.

The location is super great! 1 min walking to the Main independence plaza. The shopping street ( the old street that goes to the old port and market) also 1 min away. The hotel is located right at the intersection of the Old city and down town. Cozy building with gorgeous gate and elevator ( French style) with small rooms and separated bathroom, with a balcony. All cute but old and worn out. Clean but not pristine. After all I appreciated the location. Safe but after 8pm no people outside and everything closes. They don’t serve breakfast just a coffee with a pastries but there is a food store 2 min away “Fresh market”, where you can buy a cooked food to go as well as some groceries , it’s a good selection of everything( if you prefer to keep some in the room), it’s open late. no fridge in the room. But all is expensive in Uruguay, hamburger was $14. Not so many options for lunch or dinner, mostly fast food, like MCDonald.

Breakfast would help.

Central location in old town. Great value budget room. Coffee and pastries in morning even though price was room only. Clean. All necessities. Comfy bed. The hotel is like going back in time is you like vintage things such as the cage elevator. Friendly staff. 24 hour reception makes it feel safe. Balcony and high ceilings.

Very noisy both in the hotel and outside, at all times of day and night. Very basic but for the price that was ok. Not been modernized. Staff spoke no English or very little. It was a bit tiresome handing the key in every time I left the room - felt like I was being monitored. Really thin toilet paper!

Gracious elegante historic hotel in the old city, located within walking distance of Independencia Plaza, shops, restaurants, site-seeing, La Rambla waterfront. Beautiful architectural features and antique furnishings. Luxurious linens, thick soft white towels, comfortable beds. Access to balcony and rooftop terrace with views of the water, the old and new city.

At the entrance to the hotel and in the vicinity of the hotel we experienced issues with a panhandler who, on several occasions, harassed us for money. He became angry and aggressive when we refused. When we reported incidents to hotel management. The owner apologized and said hotel would take steps to increase security.

+Great location in terms of access to tourist attractions +Lovely vintage style hotel +Friendly and attentive staff +Very comfortable beds and mattresses +Two bedside tables and lamps in our room, as well as a dresser table. +Shower was hot with good pressure +Safe and secure at night with staff on 24/7 +We had a balcony, and there is a small roof terrace on the top floor

-There was bit of noise on the Friday night with people outside the back of the hotel. Each instance didn’t last long but did disturb us. -The shower was great, but was just a rainfall head. We would have liked a handheld option too. -No breakfast option available. -The front door makes a buzzing sound every time someone opens it (to alert staff) which wasn’t great.

Location - the hotel is very well located which was helpful as we only had one night in Montevideo. You can wak easily to the ferry terminal. Buses from the bus terminal stop one minutes walk away. Make sure you have CHANGE for the bus as the drivers are reluctant to give change for large notes. There are plenty of shops restaurants and bars nearby. Safety - this felt a very safe area with single women and children walking around at 11.00pm. Hotel - the hotel itself is amazing with marble, ceiling coving, polished brass and wrought iron balconies. My favourite part was the lift which is a joy to see it has been preserved. The staff are very friendly. Rooms - there is a mini fridge which is essential in the heat. The bathrooms are large with a rain shower, shampoo, soap, hairdryer etc…. Wi fi - The wi fi worked well

The rooms would benefit from some fresh paint where people have bumped against the wall.

The location is perfectly central for all the main city attractions and sights. Secure Parking is available about 100 metres away at a cost 360 UR Pesos per day . Beds are comfortable , hot water and showers were good . The free hot coffee or tea and hot milk for self service along with pastries and medalunas were very appreciated by the guests , and is a nice touch for guests.

Some renewal of the doors , locks , baths and patios were needed. Clarity by Booking.com on the methods of payment to the hotel is needed to avoid embarrassment in payment method and currency acceptable and cash or card discounts .

Very good location in the very center of the city. It's easy to get to from the airport by direct bus for $2.50. The hotel is not new, but it's suitable for a couple of nights. The staff is very nice and friendly, though they don't speak English. However, with a Google translator, we had no issues. They don't offer breakfast at all in the hotel, but they offer tea, coffee, and delicious pastries in the morning, which was very appreciated. There is hot water with good pressure and also good Wi-Fi. It was also nice to have an elevator in the hotel so we didn't have to carry our luggage up the narrow stairs.

The soundproofing is poor, and it was cold, but there is a warm blanket and an air conditioner that heats the room.

The location was certainly the best aspect of it. Very central, and you can walk to most of the tourist attractions. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful.

The photos made the accommodations look newer than they actually were. It is an old historic building and overall it was very comfortable and well taken-care of. Also, at night, it's better to arrive at the hotel by taxi as it gets kind of empty.

The hotel is located in the old city centre of Montevideo almost on the main square, but also close to the main square of the modern city. It is a very convenient location to explore Montevideo. It is located in a historical building and overall it is nice even if it is not a luxury hotel. The room we stayed had a terrace with a nice view.

The historic city centre of Montevideo is not really alive at night and during the weekend, even if it does not feel unsafe, you would need to take a taxi or Uber to go to other neighbourhoods to find lively areas.
