I really enjoyed staying in this hotel. The Ciudad Vieja is a lovely area of Montevideo, with great architecture, cafes, restaurants, museums and easy access to the ferry to Buenos Aires. It’s also situated on the rambla so was very handy for going along beside the river.
The room was lovely. I had a river view, comfortable bed and amenities. And a kettle! Much appreciated for a cup of tea. I used room service a couple of times for dinner and the food and service were great. All the staff I interacted with were lovely and friendly.
The area is a bit of a strange one as it’s deserted at the weekend which made for a strange walk on the Sunday after I arrived. During the week it was really lively, with a mixture of locals, tourists and cruise ship guests. Recommendations are LUCCA, Sin Pretenciones and Sometimes Sunday for brunch and lunch.
As in other reviews I noticed that the public areas on the floors were a bit shabby. But that didn’t really bother me. I also read about safety but it was totally fine during the day and I took a taxi at night, as I would in any city.
I had a great time in Montevideo and really want to come back.
