“You can do better for this price point”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

The first room that I checked into in the Days Inn was on the side of the building facing the bus terminal across the street. Although it was 1am when I checked in, I could only hear loud buses coming and going from the terminal. In the morning, I woke to more noise at 6am from the buses, and it was far to noisy to get back to sleep. I requested at the front desk to be moved to another room. One of the guys at the front desk seemed frustrated that I would ask to be moved, and said there were no more available rooms on the back side of the building facing the other way. So, I asked the other person at the front desk if they didn't mind seeing if something was available. They looked for me and found a room on the other side.

The walls are thin, doors are thin, and floors are thin. So you can hear everything in the next room, the maid vacuuming, people upstairs, and people downstairs. I would stay here again only if there were no other options. It's not a terrible hotel, but you can do better at this price.

Room Tip: Get a room on the back side of the building.

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011

Excellent hotel... very nice and helpful staff... Big beds, comfortable room, nice breakfast, in front of a small shopping center where you can change money (DON'T CHANGE MONEY AT THE AIRPORT!!!!)... and DOUBLE WINDOWS... a must-have in every hotel..!

The only bad thing was the bathroom's curtain... they should change it for something else, because when you have a shower, it seems that a tsunami just passed on the floor... (LOL)...

Oh, and the internet access is waaay too slow... but it works!

I recommend it! I'll be there more times, definetely!

“Horrible neiborhood”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2007
3
people found this review helpful

Days Inn Obelisco was a nice hotel but has a terrible and unrepairable problem: The location.
It is in front of a bus terminal with buses coming and going through all the day and all night, so you can imagine the noise and the horrible view (and worst of all: the smell from the buses).
The room was beautiful, large and clean, as well the bathroom, but is a pity that the hotel was built here. The neiborhood was already dirty and dangerous.
The hotel has no pool and it was very far away from the beach, so forget it as a choise for pleasure vacation. You can come to this hotel only if you are a business traveller and are a heavy sleeper (I mean if you don't wake up even if a truck comes over you!)

  • Liked — The size of the room
  • Disliked — The location and the lack of a pool

“Excellent!”

I was pleasantly surprised to find this hotel...for price and location, it is highly reasonable; ok, it's not the Hilton, and it's not in the centre, but there are great advantages staying here. It's clean, airconditioned, and the view from the top is stunning. It suited me being directly opposing the bus station because I arrived in Montevideo by semi cama and had to leave early to get a coach and ferry to Buenos Aires. I was only there 3 nights, from 11th to 14th December 2006; getting to the centre was dead easy cos there are regular buses just a short walk away, and it only costs 2 peso's for a single journey, and only 10 minutes to the centre. It's a 20-25 minute walk to the famous football stadium and park. One of the staff spoke excellent English and helped me out with a problem I was having with a booking. The only downside is that the area around the hotel is a bit run down and seedy, the breakfast is a bit bland, and the lobby is fairly much 'no frills', but for what I paid, frankly, this was an absolute bargain!
