“Wonderful. wonderful, wonderful”
I have stayed at this hotel many, many, many times between 2004 and 2007. The staff is absolutely WONDERFUL. They are very service oriented. Many colleagues have stayed at this hotel over the years and I have never heard an unkind word.
The hotel is in Carrasco, which is an affluent neighborhood about 10-15 minutes from the center of town by taxi. Of course, be careful in the taxis. It is a road race. But, otherwise it is a safe way to get around the city and not at all expensive. We were never charged a commission by the hotel to call a taxi - EVER. You can even call one yourself from the room. However, it is true that there is a taxi stand just around the corner from the hotel, also.
There is a small restaurant downstairs that serves a very good breakfast buffet in the morning with wondeful coffee. We mostly went out to eat, but on occassion we would stay in and dine at this restaurant. No complaints at all. The food and service were outstanding. Carrasco has a few neighborhood restaurants in walking distance from the hotel. The most obvious is Don Pepperoni just across the street. La Paciva has great hot dogs and pizza. But, ask about the Mexican restaurant a few miles away - Hacienda las Palomas - you shouldn't miss it. It is seasonal, however. You can walk because Carrasco is quite safe. But it is quite a trek from the hotel.
I cannot rate this hotel high enough. Wonderful, large rooms - some with great views. Every inch of the hotel is spotless. And every staff member deserves 5 gold stars!
