My husband's birthday was noted from his passport, and the kitchen staff (notably Amparo) surprised us at breakfast with an Uruguayan delicacy bearing a candle! \"Happy Birthday\" played. We feared the pedestrian street below our windows would be noisy, but only one night was loud. The sunlight in the room was amazing. We walked to everything: museums, galleries, monuments. Very centric! Many good restaurants nearby, and a supermarket across the street. No beach, but we're from Puerto Rico and we didn't come to swim in April.

This is likely / literally my fault, but I didn't think to check that the hotel / reception would be open 24 hrs. When I showed up to the hotel at 2:30 AM from the airport after 2 terrible days of sleeping in airports, the hotel was closed. Luckily, the streets were clean, the homeless friendly, and there was a bench to sleep outside on the street around the corner.

Verify the hours that reception is open! Maybe it's the bad American in me, but I just assumed hotels were open 24 hrs per day.

Just across the street from hotel there is a bus stop where you can take multiple buses which take you all around the city. Hotel personnel were very nice and helpful.. Oscar at the front desk was extremely nice and very helpful.. he would guide us on what bus to take to reach different areas of the city. Hotel is remodeled and very clean.

The location is great if you're getting off, or going to the ferry - it's an easy walk and straightforward. The staff were kind and helpful, and the men at the front desk all spoke English. The surrounding area is a bit sketchy - towards the dock is vibrant and interesting, but further away it becomes quite scary and not a place to go at night. The rooms are small and a bit dated, but comfortable and quiet. It's a great place to spend a night before heading off on an Uruguay adventure.

Location is great, right next to the harbor plaza, close to ferry and right next to pedestrian street that takes you down to most of the sights.
However- it was loud from the street so If you’re a light sleeper this is not for you. Also there were issues with cleanliness, stains on decoration pillows that I don’t want to think about and hair in the shower. Also- ***NO GYM!! *** It’s states in two places on Expedia that this hotel has a gym and there are pictures of a gym but there is none!

Nice and modern hotel in the old town

This hotel is very new and modern, in very good quality and very clean. It is located right in the old town, one block away from the Puerto Mercado, and directly next to a wonderful pedestrian street.
Breakfast was good and plentiful, and the staff was very helpful.
We stayed on the street side on the top floor, which gave us a wonderful view of all the people (and tourists) walking below. It does mean you get some street noise, but that died down enough at night so it didn't bother our sleep.
I saw some reviews questioning safety in the neighbourhood. I understand the concerns, since there seem to be some homeless people and stray dogs around, but we never felt unsafe. Uruguayans are very friendly, even the people hanging out on the streets.

A nice hotel near Puerto Mercado

This hotel is located in the historic town area of Montevideo. This area is largely deserted as many of the storefronts have been deserted and not re-occupied. This hotel is about a block from the Puerto Mercado shopping/eating area and the Buquebus dock so very handy for this. I did a tour and found that there are some lovely areas away from here that perhaps would have been nicer to stay in, but wouldn't have been as close to the Promenade, or historic squares. The hotel is nice despite the area. The staff keep the door locked and lets customers in as they arrive to ensure there are no people in the hotel that shouldn't be. Some of the staff speak English which was helpful for me. The breakfast consists of lots of breads, some eggs, cheese and ham, as well as yogurt, tea/coffee and cereal.
