“Downtown a Better Choice--No Airport Shuttle as Promised”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The big disappointment was finding no shuttle service as advertised from the airport to the hotel or back. It cost us $60 for an official taxi-shuttle to the hotel and a taxi ride back. For that we would have been better off staying nearer old town at the much cheaper Ibis or a quaint downtown hotel. The hotel itself had nice, large rooms with a mini-view of the river. Everything was clean and the expanded continental breakfast offered several kinds of rolls, ham and cheese, cereals, yogurt as well as juices and beverages.

Room Tip: Ask for a room away from the elevator for a quieter rest.

“A decent stay in a good neighborhood”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

We recently stayed here for two nights. The staff was friendly and the rooms were acceptable. Nothing fancy, but good for the price. Safe neighborhood is great with shops, cafes and restaurants in one direction and the beach walk in the other.

“Friendly staff, super location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed twice, once for 3 nights and once for 1 night. We liked the large room, comfortable beds, good breakfast, and friendly staff. Their English was fine, and they let us practise our rudimentary Spanish! Several good restaurants around, easy walk to the Mall, and the Rambla. Nice street fair on Sat. Underground parking was appreciated for our rental car.

“Great location, nice staff & acceptable room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 June 2011

The hotel was in a great location - on the border of the Pocitos and Punta Carretas neighborhoods. There were plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. It is not a large hotel and cab drivers don't know it, so make sure you have the address if you book there.

The free breakfast was ok, not great, with mostly breads and croissants, although you can order eggs if you can find a staff person to ask. There was free wi-fi throughout the hotel, which was a big plus. The hotel staff were really nice and efficient. They spoke good English, but they were patient with us practicing our Spanish.

We paid about US$170 for a basic room with 3 beds. That seemed expensive, but we had a hard time finding a place that could accommodate 3 people in one room. The room it self was just ok. The place is old and there is a certain lack of cleanliness that comes with age despite the regular cleanings. I stripped the old bed spread off and the sheets were a little worn but clean so I was able to sleep just fine. Overall, the room was acceptable so we would probably return.

“Nice hotel in a great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2011

This hotel is located only two blocks from the Rambla. There are many cafes and boutiques close by. The hotel is clean and offers a nice breakfast buffet. The front desk staff are very friendly.
