The place looked okay on the outside and situated in a beautiful square, but once inside it wasn't great. When I got the room key from the desk clerk he warned me not to jump....wasn't sure why until I got to the room. The room was dirty, bathroom was old with poor plumbing and the window with a beautiful view... More

After reading recent reviews, I can't believe it was the same hotel. I stayed in 3 different rooms and found them all clean and comfortable. The ones on the plaza side have great views and the back side is very quiet. The wifi works, the breakfasts are great--constant refreshing and super coffee. The front desk staff are knowledgeable, speak English... More

The place is very good because it is central in the historic area. However there are other options a little bit far but in a neighborhood more nice and developed, like POCITOS for example. The service is the only thing good - i mean the breakfast and the staff. The room was dirty, no cleaning and the courtains did not... More

We are staying as part of a tour. There is no hot water in the bathroom and our blind which is external has broken & apparently can not be fixed until after the weekend. Good central location, safe in rooms generally doesn't work. Rooms and bathrooms in need of refurb similar to foyer.

It would seem that this hotel is going through an upgrade - and my god it needs one. What a filthy, dingy hovel where you feel lucky to get out alive. Even budget travellers should avoid this grotty hole

This is quite possibly the filthiest and rancid place I have ever stayed and the photos people have attached are a true representation of what to expect. The reception area lures you in to a false sense of security making you think that this is a modern, fresh and clean hotel but I am afraid that this is the only... More

Echoing everything negative everyone else said, I'd rather sleep on a park bench and take my chances on the streets of Montevideo than stay there again. 2 people we were traveling with in a separate room were covered head to toe in bug bites and rashes. You can have conversations in the bathroom with your neighbors as half the wall... More

Like comment before, yes, this is a horrible place. I was on room 1004, 10th floor, my god, what a surprise. That room is only 1 star and closing to loose... Avoid this hotel. I was there last week and it was the worse expirence.

A horrible place - dirty, noisy, and unbelievably run-down.* The carpets (I use the term loosely: ill-fitting felt that tripped me up several times) were dirty even before we moved in. Our rooms weren't serviced once in our three-day stay - nothing cleaned, no towels replaced and toilet paper bins left in situ. On day two, we asked for our... More
