Good place to stay, would have stayed here again but the price went up about 25 USD for later in the week so stayed elsewhere. Awesome location, in the perfect area everything is walk able and is safe. If you are looking else where in Montevideo be really aware to not stay too close to the ferry terminal as it... More

Alvear is Like a $20 bill found in your sock drawer--it won't change your life, but it will start your day right. Rooms are old and hallways are noisy. However, Central location (supermercado very close, too), fair prices and amiable service leave a favorable impression. More

Just stayed one night at this hotel with my husband. It is centrally and convenientlly located (10 min walk to plaza independencia, old town and teatro solis) but the hotel was quite disappointing.

Also, there are exchange offices and a supermarket called "Tata" right next to the hotel. ROOM: Dated. You realize it the minute they hand you a key instead of a key card. And, you are convinced that this is an old... More

Super friendly, helpful and queer friendly staff. They even lent us money to pay for the cab since we didn't have enough change. The hotel might be a bit old and out of fashion, but they make up for it with a clean room, comfortable beds, great service, nice breakfast and a central location. We would go back. More
