Friendly Hotel in Central Location
Pros:

Clean and comfortable hotel in the centre of Montevideo. 10 minute walk to the Plaza Independencia and a bit further on to the old town. Spacious room, good bed and shower. Lady on reception in the mornings very helpful and friendly and speaks some English. Good breakfast with a good variety of items that were constantly being replenished. I enjoyed my stay here and would stay again.

Lo mejor Silvia. Gracias.
Pros:

La ubicación del hotel es buena y práctica. Lo mejor, sin dudas, fue la atención de Silvia en recepción: muy amable y siempre dispuesta a ayudar, realmente se destaca. Me gustó mucho el desayuno.

Cons:

Como punto negativo, durante la estadía hubo ruidos constantes de taladros (aparentemente por obras), lo que hizo difícil descansar. Es algo que deberían avisar o manejar mejor.
En general, tiene cosas positivas, pero el tema del ruido afecta bastante la experiencia.

Muito boa
Pros:

Passamos uma noite no hotel. A equipe foi muito simpática. O estacionamento não fica no próprio hotel, mas é bem próximo e é cobrado à parte. O café da manhã foi excelente, muito completo, com frutas, ovos cozidos e opções para quem tem intolerância ao glúten. Minha estadia foi curta, mas o hotel superou as minhas expectativas.

Pros:

Localização excelente, funcionários e tamanho do quarto.

Cons:

Cafe da manha poderia ser mais saboroso e variado. Fiquei no quarto ao lado do elevador e foi horrível. Toda vez que o elevador era acionado, abria e fechava a porta dava pra ouvir, isso independentemente de qual andar ele estivesse.

Quarto charmoso e confortável
Pros:

O quarto era bom com uma cama confortável. Não era enorme mas mais do que suficiente.
Tem um pequeno frigorífico que nos deu bastante jeito.
Funcionários simpáticos e prestáveis.
Voltaria facilmente.

Cons:

A pressão do duche era fraca apesar de ter sempre água quente,
O bairro em si não achei dos melhores de Montevidéu. Foi-nos recomendado mas ficámos um pouco decepcionados.
