Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were friendly and helpful enough. This places you right downtown just a block away from Av 18 de Julio and a short walk to Plaza Independencia and the Peatonal Sarandi. The hotel itself and the rooms are unfortunately shabby. My room smelled like a mix of stale cigarettes and mildew. The place needs work. A very poor value relative to the HUGE upgrade you’ll get spending only $5 more per night for another hotel in the area.

Montevideo visita cultural.

Buena limpieza, con cambio de sábanas, estancia 5 días. Ubicación céntrica bien comunicado con ómnibus en la misma calle Colonia. Aunque claro lejos de la terminal Tres Cruces. A unos 25' del mercado del puerto. Buena atención del personal. Habitación con baño completo. Pago con tarjeta. Pero en dólares hubiese resultado mas económico. Falta servicio de desayuno.

Espantoso

La verdad ese hotel no tendría que tener el privilegio de estar en su página, es espantoso. La habitación completamente sucia, paredes chorreadas, sábanas y acolchado totalmente asquerosos y quemados, hab sin aire acondicionado. Cama de 1 plaza y media para un matrimonio. Minúscula y con un precio elevado para tal estado, nunca había tenia tan mala experiencia. Nos retiramos y solicitamos reembolso.
