Joanna
Wonderful, warm staff, thoughtfully and uniquely decorated rooms, a beautiful library, and a very nice breakfast. Also, the hotel is in a charming, quiet square near many lovely restaurants and the market hall.
Michelle
Our room was gorgeous, and the whole property is beautiful. Every member of the staff is super friendly and helpful. Our room faced the street, so there was a little road noise at night, but overall the stay was fantastic. Also, it was about a 10 min walk from the port, and less than 5 min by car. Highly recommend!
Michelle
Staff are excellent!! Kind and extremely helpful. Great location with cafés and restaurants one block away. I chose not to have breakfast here, as what I saw appeared extremely minimal. This boutique has a lot of antique pieces, so much so that I did not sit on the chairs in the room for fear of breaking them. The rooms are clean, and the bed is comfortable. I did need earplugs as the noise from the street at various hours of the night/morning woke me up.
Norman
They deliver what they promise. Very nice venue and central. However, if you must have a coffee machine in your room, this is not the place for you.
Jason
A lovely hotel with the friendliest of staff. We loved our stay.
Timothy
Great breakfast
Brian W
Yes best we
Vincent
This is like a bed and breakfast in old town Montevideo. The free breakfast was outstanding. The location is very convenient for access to the port, the port market, and many museums. We added a combined walk/car tour to intensely experience Montevideo during our 4-day stay.
Peter
Excellent stay. Thank you,
Margot
Small boutique Hotel! Superb service and good size bedrooms.
SOLANGE
Very nice location, the hotel is cute and sophisticated, the staff was so friendly and rooms are renovated
Mattie
Staff. They were attentive and went out of their way to help us when our flights were canceled. We really appreciated Manuel’s help getting us ferry and new plane reservations.
Daniel
Amazing staff and great location.
Renata
Very friendly staff , lovely rooms and clean , nice quiet neighbourhood, great breakfast
Alastair
The hotel was in a great location on a quiet square. Lovely bedrooms and great rooftop terrace. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend for stay in Montevideo.
Patrick
I was happy with the room. The hotel is located across from a little square. There was not a lot of car or foot traffic outside. The location is good for visiting the Ciudad Vieja. I was also able to walk to the Buquebus which goes to Buenos Aires.
Ben
Very small room, but beautiful antiques and china
Lourdes
I enjoyed my stay. Staff was amazing. Area is great. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely come back!

Karen
Rooms were beautiful and comfortable. Breakfast was varied and delicious. Staff was attentive and helpful. Make sure to check the library on the first floor.
Denise L
We had such a lovely 4 night stay at the beginning of our Uruguay trip that we returned for our last night in Montevideo, same room with rooftop terrace. Didn’t try the hot tub. Breakfast is fantastic and all served in various antique china plates & cups in a beautiful breakfast room. We had tea & coffee served in the 1st floor library room filled with books ( some in English) and games. Staff very friendly, helpful and fluent in English. Do visit the museum across the street ( free admission/but donations appreciated) easy walk to restaurants, cafes & Mercado Puerto
Sharon
Hotel Alma is a charming hotel in the Old City. It has all the modern comforts and a wonderful staff

Review
Stayed for 4 nights and it was beautiful, the location was just perfect. Although breakfast was included but it wasn't good but that's okay. The staff are really amazing and friendly.
Denise L
What a gem!
What a wonderful gem! The hotel is beautifully restored historic building with many original features preserved together with addition stunning additions in furnishings & lighting & plants. Each room is named for an important historical person, we stayed on top floor 5th with a terrace overlooking the street & diagonally the park in one direction & waterfront in the other. Each & every staff member attentive, helpful & friendly. Beds comfy everything neat & clean. There’s even a library room on 1st floor we had tea brought to us there & read some of the books there as well. Breakfast was included and a real treat! All served in lovely original china plates, bowls and small cups but plenty of refills. We are coming back!
Julia
Amazing value
A unique property that has history and aristocratic elegance that will really enhance your visit to Uruguay and expand your understanding of the country. It even has a library for lingering and browsing! One of the very best and most memorable stays in our 30-year travel history to 40+ countries.
Francy
Very old!

Very Nice Boutique Hotel
Very nice boutique hotel with exceptional service. We didn’t stay long, but we would certainly stay again.
silvia
Very nice hotel with exceptional staff and breakfast. Can be loud at night with all the drunks waking around
Antonio
This hotel is a surprise. It has the feel of Old Uruguay. The building has been nicely renovated. Each room has a theme and is well appointed. Everything was clean and well maintained. Beautiful library for relaxing and dining room for breakfast. The included breakfast was great and very ample. Close walking to major sites in historic center and close the port for ferry and restaurant options. Would stay here again.

Not going back to this hotel

Bathroom is horrible and broken.
Reception staff was good and helpful.

The property itself was very clean, well maintained and had very friendly staff. The area around the hotel in general was very run down, dirty and felt unsafe at night. Many people warned us about walking around after dark. During the day walking around was ok.
Farzaneh
Very kind and thoughtful staff. We really enjoyed the interaction with them
Philip
Beautiful boutique hotel in the historic centre of Montevideo.
The only slight problem is that this area is short of good restaurants at night

Maria
Beautiful place with remarkable attention to detail. Awesome breakfast. Roxana was very helpful and knowledgeable about Montevideo -she provided a lot of tips that allow us to experience the best Montevideo offers. This hotel is a real “gem”.
Antonio
Alma Histórica is a wonderful little hotel in a quiet neighborhood in the old city. Each room is themed and unique. There are restaurants and shopping within walking distance, and there is limited parking on the street. The staff are wonderful and super helpful, and I can’t say enough about them. It’s near the port and the Museo del Carnaval, so if you are there during Carnaval season, you can walk to see the tablados.
Sonia
We liked everything,, location, service, breakfast, attendance,
Susan
The hotel and staff are fantastic. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet for a city hotel. Old Town Montevideo is pretty rundown, though.
John
Wonderful small hotel in old town
John
Hotel staff were friendly, helpful and went above and beyond making us comfortable and treated us like royality. Hotel was beautiful and museum like. Breakfasts were amazing. I can't wait to return on my next visit.
Adam Joshua
The staff is incredibly friendly and speaks a really good English! I would definitely recommend this hotel but I would not recommend the city or the country as a place to visit. Because it’s so boring! but that’s not their fault. But if you are gonna go to this city, stay here at this hotel.
ronit
Expensive but special
A gem of a place. Perfect hotel. Clean, quiet, spacious, excellent breakfast with cappuccino, which is very rare here. Jacuzzi on the roof and a special café.
RD
Wonderful Hotel
As your drive up to Alma Historica Boutique Hotel you are transported away. You are in the old city of Montervide full of old buildings with character. A lovely park is across the street. The door opens with a welcoming smile. The hotel takes the historica seriously from the lobby to the rooms. Each room is decorated in the theme of a famous citizen of Uruguay.
Our first room was the Don Joaquin. Don Joaquin kept popping up throughout our trip in museums, restaurants, virtually everywhere. It was interesting to learn about him. The room was lovely and very large with a sitting room that could be closed off. The bathroom was a good size with nice water pressure in the rain shower. Later in our trip we came back for a night and had a much smaller room on a lower floor. The room was cramped for two people and their luggage. But the bathroom and shower were a good size. Like many hotels in South America neither room had a kettle or coffee maker.
The view from the rooftop was lovely . We enjoyed having a glass of Tannat while admiring the view. We did not use the jacuzzi ¬ it seemed a bit cold for us.
Breakfast is served in a lovely room off the lobby. The offerings are pretty much the same every day but tasty none the less. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious.
The location is perfect for exploring the old town.
For us the best part of Alma Historica is its employees. They were always smiling, ready to answer questions, get a bucket of ice, or give

michael
PERFECT! So beautiful. Loved it and highly recommend. And love the historic area. The staff were some of the best I have ever had and I’ve traveled around the world. Breakfast was wonderful. Highly recommend.
Jimy
Cute hotel with a lot of charm — def recommend.
Peter
This is a very pleasant small hotel. We are a couple and stayed in a Superior room facing the park. Everything was wonderful except that there is insufficient light over the sink in the bathroom. The room was quiet, bed comfortable, lots of hot water and towels, aircon worked fine. Staff are wonderful--highest rating. Breakfast was 5 stars--we especially appreciated the extended hours for breakfast because we were tired from our flights from North America. The old city is described in guides as dangerous at night but this information is out-of-date. We were able to walk to local restaurants and felt safe. We used Uber for access to other parts of the city without difficulty. Hotel is definitely recommended.
Ann
We were supposed to receive a free bottle of wine but that did not happen.
Penelope Ann
This hotel truely is a hidden gem. Deep in the old city on a beautiful square the hotel itself if very well presented and the rooms are wonderful. However, the real differential is the absolutely fantastic staff. They cannot do any more to make you feel welcome and at home. We would love to come back and highly recommend!
Marci

Jolynn
This is a charming historic hotel in the heart of the old city with beautifully decorated individual rooms and a very attentive staff.
Peter
A great place in a quiet, quaint neighbourhood in walking distance to the main hub
Michael
Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. They took care of all our needs. Wonderfully atmospheric hotel in a very convenient area. All good!
Elliot
Nice hotel, but Old City shuts down at night, making the location less than ideal. Staff kind and helpful. Decor and condition of hotel walks the line between charming and twee. Dining room chairs are in need of new springs and padding. Ribbons on framed hand mirror in our room to match color scheme says it all. Still, everyone was so kind, I hesitate to say anything harsh. Kindness goes a long way in hospitality.
Jennifer
This is an absolutely beautiful historic hotel, with the most excellent staff. I was very pleased with the whole experience. The neighborhood doesn't have a lot going on, but you can Uber to restaurants and shopping, so stay at this hotel and give yourself an experience to remember.
Naomi
Beautiful hotel in the old town
Welcoming service, excellent breakfast in a comfortable, stylish boutique hotel. The location was perfect for walking the city and seeing many of the sites. We would return and recommend Alma Historica to anyone.
Ellen
What a beautiful little historic hotel! The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The historic character was charming. The location was very convenient. We had a wonderful stay.
James
Fantastic hotel just off the main street to the city centre. Great facilities, amazing breakfast and wonderful, friendly staff. We would love to come back and visit!
Alex
Absolutely fantastic service and hospitality. They went above and beyond in every respect. The room was comfortable, the hotel secure and safe, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier and more helpful. The living room on the second floor was useful for some meetings we had - not private, but we weren't ever bothered by anyone. The decor and furnishings are very classical. We have only good things to say and would happily stay here again.

Alma is a wonderfully quaint boutique hotel on a lovely city park in the center of the Old Town. Very convenient to restaurants, museums, water, etc.
The staff is attentive, friendly and helpful. If you are looking for an authentic Uruguay experience, this is for you.

The hotel team were so welcoming, kind, and informative. The hotel is in a lovely location and the property itself is incredible. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the view from the rooftop and the hot tub. Highly recommend.

I was only there for 2 nights and it’s a lovely hotel, staff were extremely helpful. The staircase and breakfast area were my favourite part of the hotel. Rooftop was great too and didn’t use the jacuzzi. Breakfast buffet was fantastic, spoilt for choice and Nielsen was extremely welcoming. I found the room bare, missing that warmth and bathroom amenities, vanity kits supplied by hotel was minimal too. Wasn’t impressed especially with the price tag however you are paying for location. No bedside lamps and phone.

This was one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed in...and we have traveled world-wide. The Staff and service was wonderful!! The historic setting made our week's visit very romantic and our every request was immediately fulfilled. We arranged for rental car and private parking through the staff, as well as a private brunch and dinner for Christmas Day. Every aspect of our visit in Montevideo was made enjoyable by staying at the Alma Historic Hotel.

Boutique hotel in the old town
Beautiful boutique hotel in the old part of town, with personalized rooms uniquely decorated to honor personalities and local history. The staff was exteremely helpful and nice, to the point of contacting me ahead of time with offers of tours, shows, dinner, extra reservations, anything imaginable. We booked a nice show and had dinner in two very good restaurants based on their recommendation, and was very pleased every time. Breakfast was really good, coffee and eggs made to order, exquisite mini Pavlovas and delicious local Alfajores, all served in antique china, and with all the attention to detail you'd find in a first class locale. I'm sure we would book again when back in Montevideo.

This hotel is quaint and very cute. The rooms are OKD, which is not bad, but in our room, the shower was broken and flooded the bathroom at each use. The property was very clean, the breakfast was excellent, and the staff could not be friendlier or more eager to please. Without the shower issue, I would highly recommend this hotel. Rooms and bathrooms do need a little upgrade/upkeep.
Michelle
The service here is above and beyond. The breakfast is lovely. The hotel itself is a beautiful small hotel with nicely curated rooms. The hotel arranged transportation to a local winery (Familia Deicas, which I also recommend). They arranged bicycles for my husband and I, which we picked up a dropped off just around the corner, and rode for a couple of hours on La Rambla. It is in old town, which was very quiet but we were there on the off season so likely more to do around there in the summer. Overall a wonderful hotel.

Is location enough?
This was part of a multi city vacation with friends. We chose this hotel because we usually enjoy the “old town” of a city. Though a great location for exploring, I did not always feel safe, the streets were filthy and the prolific graffiti did not improve our sense of comfort. The hotel was great. It’s surrounding was unexpectedly not good.

The location of this property is excellent! It is within walking distance of many museums, restaurants, and shops. The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gem.

The property was very clean, quiet and yet very close to many shops, and activities. Daily breakfast was just right with plenty of options for any dietary needs. The staff throughout the property were very nice, helpful and exceptionally professional.

A beautiful property full of antiques that is attractively decorated.
We really enjoyed the location of the hotel in the old city. We had a fabulous walking tour of the area.
What really stands out about this hotel is the staff however. They are so friendly and helpful.

I am glad I found this hotel, it was such a gem. The rooms are gorgeous and clean, plus offer the guests some insight into famous Uruguayan historical figures. The breakfast at the hotel was also excellent, with the food being delicious. And last but not least, the staff at the hotel all were very kind and helpful. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a unique hotel.

Lovely hotel
Lovely small hotel, very well appointed. Superb decor. Interesting rooms, each with historic significance and decor celebrating a specific historic Uruguayan figure. Terrific staff. Wifi fine. Clean and with a lovely breakfast, partially buffet and partially served. Well situated for some good restaurants and near Sarandi, the pedestrian street with many shops, etc. Very pleasant experience overall.

A time machine to a bygone era
Alma Historica takes you back to a time before you were ever alive. Old world elegance and refinement in a lovely and quiet section of a lovely and quiet city, Montevideo.
The building itself is beautiful and has been restored to marry history with modernity. All the little details are very nice, and the service and staff are top notch. Incredibly helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone you meet during your stay will thoughtfully try to make your day brighter and will work to setup any adventure you would like in the surrounding area.
Highly recommended for a stay in Montevideo, and a great jump off for visiting nearby Canelones.
