I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The location is ideal, right near Cagancha Plaza and plenty of great dining options. The rooms are comfortable, and the staff really stand out with their friendliness and helpfulness. On the downside, the breakfast left a bit to be desired with limited options, and the facilities could use a little more variety. Overall, it’s a decent value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the center and close to many great restaurants. The service from the staff was friendly and professional, which I really appreciated. However, the rooms were a bit of a letdown, as they were not ready at check-in time and had some cleanliness issues. Overall, while there are some positives, I think there's definitely room for improvement.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right in the center of everything, making it easy to walk to most attractions.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While it boasts a fantastic location right in the heart of the city with plenty of dining options around, my stay was marred by noise from the square and some service issues. The rooms were decent and breakfast was good, but the staff could have been more supportive. Overall, it’s a great spot if you're looking for convenience, but be prepared for some potential disturbances.

I had a nice stay in this hotel, which is conveniently located in the heart of Montevideo. The room I stayed in was comfortable and had lovely views over the plaza, although it felt a bit tight for my liking. The service provided by the staff member during check-in was excellent, making recommendations for dining and tours in the area. On the downside, the breakfast was quite basic with limited options, and while the hotel is reasonably priced, I found certain amenities lacking.
