A wonderful charming hotel of colonial character, with very helpful and friendly staff and a great central location. Our room had even a balcony from where we could watch the sunset. The hotel offers only basic amenities, but there are great breakfast cafés nearby and lots of restaurants too.

A little grim with the main attributes being the cost and location. A cheap bed for the night.
We only stayed for one night, ideal location as only a short walk to the hop on hop off tourist bus stop. Also walking distance to the Buquebus boat station.
Even though the property has its charm as a building from a different era, the staff should work on improving their service skills, and the amenities and facilities could be better.
Excellent 2 nights in the old city center walking distance to the Ferry arrival and HOHO bus stop .

Great place w/an old nostalgic vibe. Felt a bit like a ghost town w/most shops closed. Maybe because it was winter time. Urea’s a whole was underwhelming. Maybe in the summer it is more lively. Still a cool historic looking hotel & walking distance to main plaza, market & old town!
Charming, old-fashioned, but very cozy, close to restaurants and shops; they serve great coffee in the mornings. I highly recommend it.

The hotel is well located in the Ciudad Vieja and close to all of the surrounding attractions. The antique elevator works well and the staff are very nice and helpful.

Everywhere we usually stay was booked. This was a pleasant surprise. It's the best buy you'll find. Our room had very large terrace with beautiful view
The hotel had character and was in a good location to see the city centre. The centre of Montevideo is a bit run down and lacking in sights compared to Colonia or other countries. If you go to Montevideo this hotel is cheap and makes a comfortable base to stay.
Cute hotel and friendly staff. Had a very nice view from the balcony.

Good location for a short visit to Montevideo
Excellent location right next to Independence Square. Ideal for a short visit to Montevideo. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The original old elevator was fantastic!
