“I regret selecting this hotel”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The company that brought me to Montevideo offered me 3 different hotels to stay. I selected this one trusting the reputation (Balmoral). Now I am really sorry I picked it. The hotel staff is not very kind or helpful. They always talk with an attitude. The hotel breakfast is very poor in quality, diversity and presentation. I left to the country side for a couple of days and left a bag in storage (with a plastic lock). When I returned, and got my bag back I noticed somebody opened it by forcing and ruining the zipper. Nothing was missing but that isno excuse. The staff reacted poorly and did not want to become responsible for the damage to my bag. In addition, they charge a high and arbitrary exchange rate of dollars vs pesos, much higher than the official one. Overall, I regret I selected this hotel.

Room Tip: Find another hotel.

“Very nice hotel with excellent service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

A very well run hotel with excellent service. I liked staying here. It gave me such a pleasant impression of Montevideo. Also, the location is very good. It is right in the middle of a lot town and across the street from the excellent Mercado De Los Artesanos.

“good location, nice staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

person found this review helpful

we found this hotel by chance at 3am, the location is good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. the rooms are a bit dated but clean and spacious. the beds were very comfortable . a good choice if you are looking for a quiet nights sleep. We agree that the bums outside the hotel can be a bit aggressive, but not intimidating. Not much different from any other downtown hotel with a central square. The WIFI is spotty, only worked in the lobby. The price seemed reasonable considering the location. Underground parking is available but tough to navigate even with a compact car. After exploring the area in the morning, we found a few other hotels with superior amenities, but overall were pleased with our choice.

“Good choice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010

We stayed there for 3 nights. The hotel is very well located, so you can visit the old city just by walking a few blocks. In addition, there are good restaurants nearby.
The room was clean, comfortable, without noise and with a beautiful view of the Plaza Cagancha. Good bathroom and excellent shower.
Internet access is free. The buffet breakfast was poor for a four stars hotel.
The staff is very helpful and kind. It is a good choice.

“Very nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2010

Me and my wife stayed there for just 2 nights. The hotel is very well located, at the center of Montevideo, so you can do almost everything just by walking. The rooms are spacios, well cleaned, and without noise. It had also a nice bathroom with a bathtub. People in the front desk was extremely nice and helpful. I reccomend this hotel !
