LOCATION: Good, near the city center. It takes a 10 minutes walk to "Plaza Independencia" and the "Solis Theatre".

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 hotel once you step in the elevator which bumps and shakes like a ride in an amusment park.

Our room had a working air-conditioner, a mini-bar, a clean, modern bathroom.
There was no safe box though.
Upon inspecting the bed sheets in the morning, my friend found blood stains on them which was shocking.

The best aspect of the room: free wi-fi internet with a fast connection.
You don't get this in many 3 star hotels.


RECEPTION: The most beautiful thing I saw in Montevideo? The girl working at the reception of this hotel.

Great smile, friendly, and spoke very good english.

Answered all our questions about the city and was very helpful.


GETTING THERE: From the airport, we took the shuttle which costs 10 US dollars per person.
On the way back, we used the hotel taxi which costs 475 uruguayan pessos (26 US dollars).

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.
