“In a time warp”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2010

This place might have been four stars when it opened (seventies or eighties by the look of the decor) but it’s faded a bit since then. That being said it’s reasonably quiet (double glazed windows) and comfortable. It’s probably worth the US$70/night or so we paid if (as in our case) all your looking for is somewhere to get a decent night’s sleep.
The hotel is conveniently located in a fairly quiet street a couple of blocks from the main strip, with most places in the city area within walking distance. We walked back to the hotel a couple of times after midnight with no issues, although there’re quite a few street sleepers in Montevideo. Good English spoken by front desk staff. Breakfast was basic, with only a couple of hot items. Free (slow) WiFi throughout, but a little complicated to connect to.

“Faded Four Star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2010
2
people found this review helpful

While the Lafayette appears to have been built (30? 40? years' ago) to 4-star standard, it is now out-of-date. But, still fully functionable. If you choose to stay here because it's the cheapest 4-star in town, you really have no right to complain about it. (Want better, pay more elsewhere.) Booked through agoda, LaFytte staff at check-in first insisted I had to stay in a room on the 2nd floor, one in front of the street and too noisy. Finally, they agreed to move me up to 6th floor and while the room was also on the street side, it had a new noise-blocking window. A comfortable sleep. strong, quiet AC. ok cable TV, but no news in English channel. free WIFI signal low, though, in room 606. Nothing noteworthy in furnishings, just basic. breakfast the only thing that could be justly criticized at the Lafayette. good, inexpensive laundry across the street, a block down on the left side. Location of this hotel excellent for downtown Montevideo.

“Not good for the price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2010

Not an option. Located in a busy street with buses and lots of pollution in the room. Weak service, breakfast and doubtful cleanness. Not an option, even for the price paid.

“Very good for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

people found this review helpful

I stayed in this hotel in January. One good thing is that you can you use free computers and/or free internet with your notebook. The swimming pool is also good. The breakfast is also very good. I liked the Cleanness of the room. The size of the room is adequate. But the internet didn't work in the room. So I had to go to the lobby to use my notebook. One thing that i didn't like at all was the A/C, it was very noisy. So I was I wasn't able to use it at night, when it was very hot, because of the noise of the A/C. The decor is very old, but not a big problem. THe location is really good, close to the main spots. It is in an safe area. There many good restaurants close to the hotel. The TV was also good, it had a good variety of channels and good image.
