Montevideo hotels in Ciudad Vieja

View of the River Plate Staff was unfriendly and seldom helpful; hotel is in desperate need of upkeep and maintenance. Food selection at restaurant is mediocre at best. No restaurant on weekends??? No air conditioner because they set to "cold climate conditions" on a set date regardless of what current weather conditions are outside. Hot and no air condition is hardluy expected from a hotel.

Super close to the sights in Ciudad Vieja - an easy walk to everything! Very noisy rooms. Could hear a lot of noise from the street and neighboring rooms and the main hallway. Room did not have the metal shutters necessary to keep noise out.

A very unusual hotel, right in the centre of the old town. Tiny lobby up a flight of steps, with an ancient and tempramental elevator. The room we had on the 4th floor had restricted views of the harbour and old town, inclunding the scuffy roof terrace of the hotel opposite. The room was 'unusual', very high-ceiling, so had been refurbished as a two-level room - up a flight of unguarded stairs to the (leaky) bathroom and bed area. The hotel has "character", but would not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems! Breakfast was fine (on the 5th floor - again up a winding stairway) and the staff spoke good English and were very helpful. We liked it - it's just a bit 'unusual'. Don't stay there if you have mobility / walking problems, but otherwise it's an interesting experience in a very old building.
