This hotel stands out for its reasonable price tag and the welcoming staff & owner, who go at great lenghts to make you feel comfortable. Rooms are large with clean bathrooms and balconies, some facing the street. Located centrally, close to old town and to bus stops. This hotel is much better value than any Montevideo hostel mentioned in the guidebooks, who often quoted higher prices for poor dorm facilities!.

Very helpful staff

For the budget conscious traveller, this might be the best Montevideo has to offer. It it located just one block from the main street of Av 18 de Julio and two blocks from Plaza Independencia. Despite being a one star hotel, this is probably on of the most decent of the budget hotels scattered around the central Avenida Uruguay area.

The hotel is located in a beautiful and stylish corner building, with shops at ground level, and hotel rooms at first and second floor (2nd/3rd). Rooms at the upper floor has higher ceilings, and very nice balconies (see photos).

Rooms are simple, but clean. Small TV, fan, telephone. Bathroom with bidet, shower, hot water. (they do have cheaper rooms with shared bathrooms at U$450, while I paid U$600, or US$30). Payment with credit cards possible, but expect to pay a fee.
There is no wifi, but I stayed at room #1, and catched the unsecured signal from a small electronics shop next to the hotel. Room #1 is located literally one step from the reception. There is also a small lounge next to the reception/lobby, with sofas and TV, but I only saw it used by the staff. Reception is open 24h, but the staff speaks Spanish only!

Good value, perfect location

The Hotel is in Centro, but only about five minutes walk to Plaza Independencia. All of the old town is in easy walking distance. 
The hotel is relatively small and a bit old but has good WiFi and the staff are friendly and helpful. 
The reception is on the first floor and you need to ring the bell to get in. 
Rooms are an ok size but a little faded. No breakfast. 

Great location 

The only positive ting to say, about this hotel is the location and the friendly dayman in the reception.
Loosy room, bathroom, bed, wifi. Nearly any water in shower. Expensive compared to fascilities. One night more than enough.

Bad standard

Good location close to Plaza Independiente  - thought I wouldn't dare to go out at night in this area. Clean. Small and very dark rooms .. I didn't know that you could get 5 or 10 Watt bulbs (that's what it looked like).  During summer rooms are very hot. No refrigerator - and no breakfast (a bad combination). Noisy - if you have one of the rooms next to to reception area and someone there decided to start a discussion. Shower is fine but poorly lit bathroom with no space to put your stuff. Very small TV set with blurred pictures. The old men at the reception speak no English. 

When I was leaving the bill was in USD. I don't carry USD - so I asked to pay in the local currency pesos instead. Then the bill rose by almost 200 pesos (= 9 USD). 

I would not go here again.
