The hotel is spacious and quiet. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped. The spa and pool were super useful during an afternoon rain. We were really well served at our arrival by reception staff (Mr Max) including tips for Montevideo and our stay was very pleasant.

This is like a bed and breakfast in old town Montevideo. The free breakfast was outstanding. The location is very convenient for access to the port, the port market, and many museums. We added a combined walk/car tour to intensely experience Montevideo during our 4-day stay.
