We were just looking for a cheap place and happened upon this for 50 bucks a night. We got 2 beds, private bath, and pretty decent breakfast so we thought it was a good value. The front desk staff was very helpful and allowed us to store luggage there for a week while we went to Argentina. My son and I really liked this place for some odd reason. We also stayed at other hotels over the course of doing shipping business in Montevideo and some are more quaint, historic etc...but when they are booked up this is a great option with good dining right in the surrounding blocks and very safe feel.

Kinda liked this place!

I was happy to have found this hotel for the same price as I had been paying at a loud hostel 5 minutes away where I didn't have private bathroom, WiFi, phone or television. 

 Great value at Richmond: 
+ quiet room
+ excellent Wi-fi
+ great location, one block from 18 Julio, 5 minute walk to Plaza Independencia, 15 minutes walk to busstation 
+ very friendly and helpfull staff

-my bathroom had the awful smell of sewer, might have been something wrong. 


Good value and quiet

The Hotel is situated in the heart of the City.  Don't expect nightlife, Montevideo is a very quiet City, even for a Capital!  Rooms are very large indeed, but Oh, the carpets and decor is 1960s at its most, so lets say 1950's!  Shabby rooms, torn and stuck together carpets and not such a comfortable bed.  Water supply can be intermitant and you wait ages for hot water but when you do get it, keep moving in the tiny shower, as if someone else has a shower in the next room you will be scalded!!  Towels are big and pleantiful.  Just like most SA hotels a bath mat, and shower mat are never produced.  The floor is slippery when wet, so hold on tight!  Smoking and Non Smoking rooms available.  main areas of Hotel are very clean, but the word Hoover and vaccum are not words in this Hotels vocabulary.
Dark and dingy is the best way to describe the rooms.  However it is an Old Hotel in the heart of City.  Staff at reception are very helpful.  There is Internet there which is free.  No Bar.  Breakfast is tacky to say the least.  Reconstituted OJ served by a rather mouthy sullen woman; and if you don't speak Spanish, well you might as well not live on Planet Earth!  Food is eadiable but flavourless self-service tack.  Again, if you speak Spanish you get better treatment.  I took this Hotel as was in a massive hurry to get my head down.  Would I reccomend it?  I was there 2 nights and didnt have time to look for anywhere else.  But was told I could have had better and cheaper.  It was far too expensive for what was on offer, if you pay in US$ you get 10% off the price of the rooms..........or was that a receptionist mistake?  Electricity is a nightmare for foreign travellers.  They have a 3 pin plug in Montevideo (unlike other parts of Uraguary) this is a very very old system, even by Uraguarian standards.  At first glance they look like European plugs, then you realise that there is an extra pin in the centre, lined up in a neat row.  I have travelled for 40 years and never seen a plug like it.  However, the reception will lend you an adaptor.  There are a number of eateries and restaurants close by.  The Buffet Chinese 2 doors away produced massies of semi chinese food that was supposed to be hot but 30 in after opening it was barley warm.  Plenty of gunky, revoulting cakes on offer too that have no connection with Chinese Cusiene at all!!  So give that a miss!!!

Expensive for what you get!

I've stayed at a few budget places in Montevideo, and this is the nicest so far.  It's a simple hotel, but the average budget traveler would probably like it.  The rooms are fairly bright, some have hardwood floors and some have carpet, some have new bathrooms, some have older bathrooms in very nice condition.  The desk clerk will show you a few different rooms before you decide on one.  They don't have air conditioning, which would be nice during their summer months, but they do have ceiling fans.  Cable TV with a small color TV provided. Free simple breakfast.  Right in the middle of everything, but the rooms in the back are quiet.  Do not take a room that faces the street because those rooms are noisy, with buses running every few minutes until about 11pm. The prices in January 2007 were US$16 a day for one person, including tax and breakfast!
