Relativamnetr bem, no inicio nao gostei o atendimente mas depois ouve troca de funcionario y melhorou 100℅
I worst experience ever. I was there mid march 2020, while I was in Uruguay, I find out that within 24 hrs USA was closing the boarders and all flights were cancel due to COVID 19. I was very lucky that America Airlines refunded my ticket and I was able to come back to USA in 24 hrs using COPA Air last flight. The hotel refused to refund 6 night that I didn't use, contacting a mger to explain the situation was impossible, also Expedia contacted them numerous times about the refund with no reply. This was an involuntary situation, that they didn't care to help !
la unica cosa que debo reclamar, es que en el site de hoteles decía una cosa y en realidad el hotel no tenia esos servicios, como por ejemplo tina de baño.
El hotel está muy bien, excelente ubicación (cerca de la Ciudad Vieja y del Mercado del Puerto) y atención. Muy amables todas las personas de la recepción. El lugar estaba limpio y el WiFi funcionaba muy bien. La habitación resultó cómoda sin ser extraordinaria, lo mismo respecto del desayuno: cumple con lo prometido, sin destacarse demasiado.
Algo para mejorar es el estacionamiento, muy incómodo y limitado a la disponibilidad del momento. Mi reserva incluía estacionamiento y al llegar al hotel me enteré de que en el caso de que no hubiera lugar solo ofrecían descuentos en parkings cercanos.
En general nuestra experiencia fue muy buena, una ciudad muy linda y hospitalaria que vale la pena visitar!

La ubicacion exelente y el desayuno solo aceptable
Em nossa 1a. viagem a Montevideo, há cerca de 8 anos, ficamos neste Hotel. É um 4 estrelas muitissimo bem situado, quartos enormes 33m² com janelas antiruido, cama confortável e lençois de cerca de 250 fios. Um variado cafe da manha. Entretanto os funcionários, especialmente as mulheres não são simpáticas. Necessitam de treinamento urgente.
Um agradecimento muitissimo especial ao metre que fez um cafe da manhã especial para o meu esposo, que tem restrição alimentar por ser diabético. Ele foi extremamente gentil e solícito TODOS os dias.
Location was perfect. Right on a major city artery, with numerous points of interest in an easy walking periphery. Staff were fun in accommodating my practice of español, and the breakfast buffet was great. My expectations were met.
O hotel atendeu minhas expectativas. Localizado no centro, confortável e limpo. Café da manhã razoável, atendimento em geral atencioso. Infelizmente não disponibiliza garagem, porém tem estacionamento conveniado perto e com preço bom. Nota 9,0

Buen hotel, pero necesita ser remozado.
Hotel bien ubicado, el sector es tranquilo y central, pero requiere ser remozado. Sin duda tuvo mejores tiempos.
Très bien localisé sur une des rues les plus animées de la ville. Le tout est correct de façon générale pour le prix. Toutefois, l’hôtel aurait bien besoin d’être rafraîchi. La chambre était propre mais les rideaux sont sales et le mobilier est minimal.

Looks nice, horrible front desk staff towards fore
Couldn't even stay here. Front desk was incredible how they were treating the dozen or so people trying to get a room when check-in started. They had some computer issue, or too many down rooms, so they said all our reservations were invalid. I peeked at this screen system, it seemed they had at least three "better" rooms available, but said they were not or they could not allow. We have video of this one guy finally exploding after the staff tried to ignore everyone until they just left. People prepaid for these rooms and some came from different countries. This place as a dozen country flags outfront yet was the most unfriendly place we have encountered in all sorry Americas how they treat Spanish speaking and non Spanish speaking foreigners.
They insisted we did not prepay, even after showing credit card statement. We were forced to leave and stay with local couch surfer.
We contacted Hotels.com and still no action or refund. We never stayed, we never signed or filled legal foreign guest documents, we are not in their security footage. Disgraceful
Localização ideal em Montevidéu. Estacionamento um pouco apertado mas tranquilo para estacionar. Hotel precisa de manutenção melhor e mais ativa. Tivemos pequenos problemas com o atendimento - em um dia não limparam o quarto.
