Beautifully restored building in the old city. Place is in immaculate condition. Super friendly staff. Very convenient - lots of restaurants, cafes, bars steps away and only about a 15 min walk from the ferry terminal. Note - as it’s an old building, there is no elevator for those who may like to travel with more luggage or have mobility issues.

Beautiful hotel! Just in the heart of the old city in Montevideo! Super clean, really good beds, very comfortable, the staff really friendly and very educated, they offer some fruit and other things as snacks, we particularly enjoyed the shots of Grappamiel that they keep available for guests. The place is a really well kept antique colonial house, the furnite, the deco and the environment are just delightful, you almost don't want to go out of it and stay just there all the time! We slept super good there!
