This hotel charges a 4 star price but offers only a 3 or 2 star product. Hugely overpriced for a small, outdated room with terribly unhelpful staff. The view from the window was just into a concrete box full of air conditioning units. The breakfast was good and the location is reasonable, but in summary I've never paid so much... More

Stayed three nights with friend. Location is close to all major attractions and breakfast buffet (if you are one of the first to get there) is pretty acceptable. I have to say that the bell boy who welcomes you and takes you to your room and the lady who is in charge of the breakfast area are very nice, as... More

Very good hotel right in the centre of Montevideo. Excellent prices & a great breakfast. Rooms are quite large & comfortable. Staff are friendly. The location of this hotel is great, close to all public transport & the next parallel street has a lot of great restuarants. More

I love Uruguay: pleasant climate, friendly people and beautiful landscapes! The hotel has a good location and polite employees only. Although it has four stars, the apartments are terrible! Carpet old and smelling of cigarettes, bathrooms with antique accessories and unkempt, and a television that does not work well. For those who want only to sleep and enjoy the day... More

We stayed three nights at the Crystal Palace Hotel in a standard room for 60 us dollars/night. It is located at 25 de Julio wich is a central street with many shops and diners, but not at the best end of the street (it's nicer closer to Ciudad Viejo) The room was ok with a big bathroom and a small...

The Crystal Palace was pretty good. The staff was fairly helpful, and the breakfast was good for being included. For being a four-star hotel, it was a little lacking, though. The hotel room was spacious, as was the bathroom. But the room itself was a little run down. There were quite a few marks on the walls. There was a... More

My wife and I stopped at Montevideo on the way back from Punta del Este. The Crystal Palace is a tired and old hotel. The towels were old and hard. The carpets did not appear clean. The service was less than helpful. We tried to extend our checkout from 11 a.m. to 12:00 noon and were told abruptly no. We... More
