We are staying as part of a tour. There is no hot water in the bathroom and our blind which is external has broken & apparently can not be fixed until after the weekend. Good central location, safe in rooms generally doesn't work. Rooms and bathrooms in need of refurb similar to foyer. More

It would seem that this hotel is going through an upgrade - and my god it needs one. What a filthy, dingy hovel where you feel lucky to get out alive. Even budget travellers should avoid this grotty hole More

This is quite possibly the filthiest and rancid place I have ever stayed and the photos people have attached are a true representation of what to expect. The reception area lures you in to a false sense of security making you think that this is a modern, fresh and clean hotel but I am afraid that this is the only... More

Echoing everything negative everyone else said, I'd rather sleep on a park bench and take my chances on the streets of Montevideo than stay there again. 2 people we were traveling with in a separate room were covered head to toe in bug bites and rashes. You can have conversations in the bathroom with your neighbors as half the wall... More

Like comment before, yes, this is a horrible place. I was on room 1004, 10th floor, my god, what a surprise. That room is only 1 star and closing to loose... Avoid this hotel. I was there last week and it was the worse expirence. More

A horrible place - dirty, noisy, and unbelievably run-down.* The carpets (I use the term loosely: ill-fitting felt that tripped me up several times) were dirty even before we moved in. Our rooms weren't serviced once in our three-day stay - nothing cleaned, no towels replaced and toilet paper bins left in situ. On day two, we asked for our... More

Actually booked this hotel through the Airport Tourist Information Office: great location but such a disappointing property. Old, dirty, poorly maintained, rooms not ready until near 3:30pm, toilet ran all night, floor tiles not attached to floor. The only thing that could make this place worse would be bedbugs! We stayed here because we were unable to go to our... More

Hotel is dirty. Carpets are disgusting with stains and rips, bathrooms are outdated, and hallways smelled of cigarette smoke. The location is quite good however, being easily walkable to the main sites in the old town, although the street can be noisy if you are on a lower level. The breakfast that was included was mediocre at best, and even... More

Start with rude, nasty front desk clerks and slide downhill. We waited 30 minutes to check in with nobody in front of us because it was between shifts. In the front window the lobby looked out into a full dumpster of garbage. The front doors were broken, the windows covered with ick, the furnishings, walls, carpeting were battered and worn.... More
