“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!)

“Excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2007

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!

“Good hotel, terrible area!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2006

3 nights at the Days Inn in Montevideo, fine standard of hotel, helpful front desk and decent sized rooms. Located, however, right by the bus station, and across the street from a very poor housing area. 10 minutes in a cab to Montevideo centre, close to National Stadium. Breakfast included, usual cold buffet affair. Decent fitness room on top floor, along with a small and uneventful coffee shop.

“Decent hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2006

people found this review helpful

We stayed four nights at the Days Inn in Montevideo. The room was a triple (3 single beds) and was very, very small--so small we had a hard time dealing with luggage. But the beds were comfortable and the bathroom small, but adequate. The room was very clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Cannot comment on the restaurant as we never ate there. Small exercise room that seemed quite adequate. Very basic room, average hotel. The location was convenient--across the street from Tres Cruces Mall and bus terminal. We would most likely stay there again. Good value.
