To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this hotel. I must admit it´s quite cozy -has a homey feeling to it-, has a great location (not downtown, but a 20 min. ride, and close to airport, Zonamerica, and beautiful Carrasco area shops, restaurants and beaches) and very kind staff.
On the other hand I must also admit it needs major refurbishing, there are many details to be changed, decoration in general is outdated, although if renewed has to keep the homey feeling it has now, bathrooms are in bad shape, showers don´t work properly, you freeze and then you literally burn in the matter of seconds, very frustrating! Tiles are broken and poorly kept with stains all over from paint and sealers, just to mention a few. It seems as if it has been repaired by parts and what it needs is an overall renewal.

This hotel is very far from being a four star hotel. The air conditioning dripped inside the room, and there was no one available to fix it. So we had to spend the night with no air conditioning in a room with windows that wouldn't open and with a fan turned on, which didn't help much. It is impossible to keep the shower at a constant temperature; it burns you and then freezes you. I am no tv expert, but I couldn't get the tv to work. There is no restaurant in the hotel and breakfast, which is not that good, is served only at eight. The general upkeep of the place is not the best and the staff is not very friendly, and in some cases almost rude (with our complaints about the dripping air conditioner). For our trip, the location was great, on the waterfront and near the nice Carrasco restaurants an shops.

We've just left this hotel, the location is not good for getting around Montevideo with it taking a good 20mins & cost of UR$315 to get to Centro. The room was small, dark, dingy & depressing. The bathroom was small but nice & clean with fluffy white towels. The TV is not straight forward to work & the door to the "balcony" was stuck. The breakfast was good with eggs, sausages, bread, cheese, ham, fruit & yogurt so you can really full up. The staff were friendly & helpful. There is a nice little shopping area close by with a superb restaurants, banks & general amenities. I think this is the saving grace location wise for this hotel otherwise it felt just too far from anywhere. Would not go back for this reason.

The hotel is located on a very busy road and the traffic noise is so loud I could barely hear the TV. There was no double glazing in my room and the windows do nothing to insulate this constant barrage. This hotel was recommended to me by my clients and I wish I had stayed at the Ibis- as i did for the rest of my business visit to wonderful Montevideo. The room I had was small, dated, very tired and the bathroom small. It was by far the worst hotel I stayed at during my month in South America. Yes, the location and the staff were nice with the beachfront across the busy road and the Carrasco village shops about 2 blocks away but It was very poor value and not the restful retreat a business traveler needs.
