This hotel is a surprise. It has the feel of Old Uruguay. The building has been nicely renovated. Each room has a theme and is well appointed. Everything was clean and well maintained. Beautiful library for relaxing and dining room for breakfast. The included breakfast was great and very ample. Close walking to major sites in historic center and close the port for ferry and restaurant options. Would stay here again.

Alma Histórica is a wonderful little hotel in a quiet neighborhood in the old city. Each room is themed and unique. There are restaurants and shopping within walking distance, and there is limited parking on the street. The staff are wonderful and super helpful, and I can’t say enough about them. It’s near the port and the Museo del Carnaval, so if you are there during Carnaval season, you can walk to see the tablados.

The staff is incredibly friendly and speaks a really good English! I would definitely recommend this hotel but I would not recommend the city or the country as a place to visit. Because it’s so boring! but that’s not their fault. But if you are gonna go to this city, stay here at this hotel.

Wonderful Hotel

As your drive up to Alma Historica Boutique Hotel you are transported away. You are in the old city of Montervide full of old buildings with character. A lovely park is across the street. The door opens with a welcoming smile. The hotel takes the historica seriously from the lobby to the rooms. Each room is decorated in the theme of a famous citizen of Uruguay. Our first room was the Don Joaquin. Don Joaquin kept popping up throughout our trip in museums, restaurants, virtually everywhere. It was interesting to learn about him. The room was lovely and very large with a sitting room that could be closed off. The bathroom was a good size with nice water pressure in the rain shower. Later in our trip we came back for a night and had a much smaller room on a lower floor. The room was cramped for two people and their luggage. But the bathroom and shower were a good size. Like many hotels in South America neither room had a kettle or coffee maker. The view from the rooftop was lovely . We enjoyed having a glass of Tannat while admiring the view. We did not use the jacuzzi ¬ it seemed a bit cold for us. Breakfast is served in a lovely room off the lobby. The offerings are pretty much the same every day but tasty none the less. The fresh squeezed orange juice was delicious. The location is perfect for exploring the old town. For us the best part of Alma Historica is its employees. They were always smiling, ready to answer questions, get a bucket of ice, or give

This is a very pleasant small hotel. We are a couple and stayed in a Superior room facing the park. Everything was wonderful except that there is insufficient light over the sink in the bathroom. The room was quiet, bed comfortable, lots of hot water and towels, aircon worked fine. Staff are wonderful--highest rating. Breakfast was 5 stars--we especially appreciated the extended hours for breakfast because we were tired from our flights from North America. The old city is described in guides as dangerous at night but this information is out-of-date. We were able to walk to local restaurants and felt safe. We used Uber for access to other parts of the city without difficulty. Hotel is definitely recommended.
