I had a great stay at Montevideo Chic Boutique Hostel! The location was perfect—central and safe, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The room was a good size, comfortable and clean, which made for a relaxing stay. I really appreciated the practical amenities like the washer and clothes line—super handy for longer stays. The staff were all friendly and helpful, always ready with tips or a smile. Overall, a great value and a cozy place to stay in Montevideo. Highly recommen.

It was so smokey, which we didn't like. Has a nice little terrace. It's a little old and wreck place. Had to go one floor up to use the female bathrooms.
We didn't like the lock of the room, it has a hole and can be easily peeked through.

Location OK, but very basic & don't expect quiet

Room was right next to the common area/dininng room/reception, and the door did not block any noise at all. Reception is upstairs and someone has to walk down to open the door, so you need to wait a minute, but other than that service was good. Booked this without realizing the bathroom was shared, but that's my fault. Location was decent though for visiting museums and such in the center. No aircon (and no window, just a fan), but the temperature was fine while I was there

Budget hostel

No breakfast was offered. Wifi / internet connection was slow.
The room had 2 single beds but these were not very comfortable.
The air was very poor and only a fan available in the room for cooling.
The hostel is on 2 floor with stairs and no elevator available.
The shared bathroom, toilets are on another floor, not on the same floor as the rooms.

Great place overall, but be warned that the old city (where this hostel is located) turns into an absolute ghost town on the weekends - we arrived on a Saturday night and had to walk quite a way to find an open restaurant. If you're planning on staying over a weekend, you may want to consider another neighborhood.

rating hotel Bontiuqe chic hotel in Uruguay

That is terrible experience finding the hotel, after two hours of taxi ride to hotel, we find the hotel
l in the worse part of the town with home less people sleeping at the foot steps of the hotel. The hotel seemed to be vacant and no light. When we rang the door, the manager showed up with his cut off tee shirt smell like weed with his half naked girl friend. We double checked the location of the hotel and he confirmed that it is the Boutique chic hotel , at which time, the drive said\" I don't feel comfortable leaving you here so he drove us to another hotel\". I tried to file a complains about false advertising with Expedia, and they were not helpful either. Do Not book anything in the dump, if you want to come out of that place alive.

Fausto

El hostal está ubicada en una zona terriblemente abandonada, habitan en la banqueta vagabundos y hay excremento por todas partes. No es recomendable para descansar pues abajo hay un “boliche” o zona de entretenimiento para “rockeros” que se quedan tocando música a TODO VOLUMEN hasta altas horas de la noche, sin mencionar que dentro del mismo hostal tocan samba a todo volumen y a todas horas.

La habitación no tiene baño, además de que las sábanas son viejas y están llenas de pelo de gato o perro o vaya saber Dios que animal, las habitaciones te dan una alergia tremenda, se escucha en todos los cuartos personas toser aparte de que los cuartos están llenas de moscas.

No hay guarda equipaje, no tienen desayuno, hay arañas en la ducha y atienden de una mala manera, sobre todo la chica. Quien me “prestó” un adaptador de corriente por unas horas y después de pedírmelo, no me volvió a dirigir siquiera un buenos días. El chico es buena onda.

En resumen, mucho que mejorar.

到着した時、頑丈な木製の扉が開かず、番号つきの呼び鈴をどうしたものかと、何回か押したところ、マダム登場。スペイン語オンリーなので、チェックインに時間がかかるかも。歴史ある建物をリノベした快適な部屋だけど、エアコンなし、扇風機あり。シャワーとトイレは共用で、まあ、合格点かな。キッチンは使えますが、電子レンジはさっぱり使えず。素泊まりならよし。翌日のツアー出発が8時と早くなり、連絡できず、タオルと鍵を置き手紙で戻しました。支払い済みだし、何もお金がかかることはないので、問題ないと思いました。マダムがどこにお住まいか、スペイン語できないので、わからずじまいなのが、少し残念。若者が長く滞在しているようでした。港から徒歩圏内なので、助かりました。部屋にテレビはありません。共有スペースに大画面TVがありましたが、見ずに終わりました。

Este lugar es un auténtico lujo en cuanto a su relación calidad precio. Habitaciones sencillas pero más que suficiente, cómodas y amplias. Zonas comunes perfectamente equipadas y una situación a escasos metros de todo lo que hay que visitar en la ciudad vieja. El personal super amable. Lógicamente no esperes lujos pero si un lugar agradable y más que adecuado para descansar.

Difícil de ubicar: No hay letrero que indique que es un hospedaje. | Cucarachas pequeñas en la cocina y vomito en el baño. | Personal desatento y descortés. | Desagradable ambiente sin privacidad. | Para acceder los baños hay que pasar por todo el espacio publico (inclusive la cocina) y en el casa del baño femenino hasta subir un piso. ||| Pésima actitud de los anfitriones: Te tratan como si fueses un intruso en su hogar en realidad parece que ellos habitan ahí o es su casa por eso se les hace incomodo tener clientes y a pesar que uno paga por ese servicio de alojamiento tienen una mala recepción y convivencia.

Beautiful hostel in Ciudad Vieja

The place is absolutely beautiful.

The location is by very short walking distance to the ferry terminal, tge old city (Ciudad Vieja) and Centro.

The atmosphere is more like a family of young people living together. Some residents seem to be staying there for long term.

However, we, as a couple, booked a room with private bathroom and the bathroom was in fact shared. But for backpackers sleeping in a dormitory, those well-maintained shared facilities shouln’t be an issue.

Apart huis

Zeer groot en aangenaam herenhuis. De deuren en plafonds zijn echt wel bijzonder. Wel kleine keuken voor zo'n huis. Je moet echt wel je beurt afwachten tot je kan koken. Voor de rest qua infrastructuur geen opmerkingen. Communicatie met anderen was moeilijk daar ik geen Spaans en zij geen Engels praatten. Al bij al ben ik zeker niet ontevreden van m'n verblijf in dit huis.

Me robaron una bufanda.

Tuve un problema con la hostel, una chica de Brasil. UN día que salía de carrera le pregunté si podía dejar en el espacio común una bufanda, me dijo \"sin problema, aquí nadie se roba nada\" y la bufanda (chalina) nunca apareció. El día que dejaba el hostal ella se molestó porque la desperté para preguntarle dónde estaba mi chalina, eran casi las 8am.

Edullinen vaihtoehto Montevideossa

Yövyimme 3 yötä Chic Boutique hostellissa. Hostelli on enemmänkin kommuuni, jossa asuu useita pitkäaikaisia vuokralaisia. Huone oli ok. Jaettu kylpyhuone oli siisti. Samoin keittiö, joka oli hyvin varusteltu. Wifi oli nopea. Sijainti on kävelymatkan päässä nähtävyyksistä.

unieke sfeer in koloniaal hotel

Een hele aparte ervaring. De eigenaar heeft hier goedkope en jonge stagiaires neergezet vanuit de hele wereld. En die doen dat uitstekend. Samen met wat vaste hotelgasten levery dat een goede sfeer op.Het dakterras met uitzicht en de woonkamer/keuken met hoog plafond in koloniale stijl zijn super. De oude wijk rond dit hotel biedt weinig, maar nog altijd meer dan de rest van deze saaie en deprimerende stad.

Worst overpriced place ever! Avoid!

This place is a shame for the whole industry, and incidents like ours make people dont want to back to hostel again.
We were a bit before checkin time wanted to leave our suitcases, but as i assume due to possible overbooking we were checked in to sort of the storage room, what we were not really happy. The room had no window, and apart from bed there was a one night amp without bulb (sic!), one broken bed site table and on metal locker. All this made improsion a prison cell not a room itself. The picture was fulfilled by the sewage pipe sticking out of the wall. (Although i cannot speak about all of the rooms, but the common bathroom was in similar condition as well).
We were not seriosly satisfied with the room but were told that there was no possibility to for a change, neither a refound.
I have the photos which i will ask hotels.com to publish.
Staff is a bunch helpless youths, when asked to speak to owner they said there is no possibility to contact with (although im pretty sure they are owners).
We decided to move from this ramshackle spot to nearby 3* with breakfast & bathroom for 5 euro more (the so called last minute price in chic was 35 euro).
If you expect an athmosphere in exchenge of lower quality you can be dissapoited either.

Para uma noite apenas, na falta de outra opção.

Muito simples, banheiro coletivo com escadas para acesso, o que causa desconforto durante a noite, não há café da manhã, pouco espaço nas poucas geladeiras disponíveis, só um funcionário, que nem sempre está presente. Na relação custo- benefício não foi uma boa escolha para estadia de 2 dias, talvez por uma noite, não tendo opção melhor.

Nice proprietor, Enrico, welcoming me and when asked to, telling all about the city, society and Uruguayan life in general. Very clean rooms. Wi-Fi, Cool roof-terrace with a view of the harbour and all the activities there, including the cruise ships. I'd stay there again, if visiting Monte Video once more. /Martin
