Hotel in zona Monumento Julio García Otero, Montevideo

I staid here for one night. Was ok. Could be cleaner. Breakfast was good. Area also is good. For me the rooftop pool was the best thing.

Excelente todo, la ubicación, las habitaciones, el desayuno y sobretodo el trato del personal. Sumamente recomendable! Sin duda para repetir. Estuvimos en una habitación de 4 y fue super cómodo todo , la cocina americana un plus.

I regularly visit Montevideo for academic business and Mercure Punta Carretas turned out to be the best accommodation I ever had in the Uruguayan capital. The location almost directly on the shore of the Rio de la Plata is very pleasant, there is a sea food restaurant open until late. The rooms of the Mercure are OK (nothing fancy but there is everything one needs), yet the quality of the stay is nonetheless outstanding. The breakfast buffet is delicious (homemade granola among other), there is a co-working space and a gym on the top floor. The gym is tiny, there is a complete set of dumbbells, a stationary bike and a yoga mat, all of quality but that's it. However, this is enough to throw in a good session while the view on the Plata is breathtaking. Last but not least, cheers to the friendly, helpful and absolutely trustworthy staff! Highly recommended.

L'hotel è stato molto deluso per me e mia moglie. Guardando le foto e le recensioni precedenti, ho davvero pensato che saremmo rimasti in un grande hotel, ma la realtà era diversa. Abbiamo prenotato una stanza standard, le foto non mostrano quanto sono piccole. La stanza che ci hanno dato era sul secondo piano, e la finestra era diretta a una macchina a aria condizionata centrale (suppongo che sia). È una grande macchina, una vista terribile, ma anche un rumore terribile. La spegnino alle 6:30 e la spegnino alle 8:30. Se vuoi dormire in essa è impossibile, o se vuoi prendere un po' di pisolino in pomeriggio, anche impossibile. Oltre a che c'è una porta nella stanza, alla stanza successiva, è chiaramente chiusa, ma si può sentire tutto dal vostro quartiere. La vasca è buona, le tovaglie sono buone e pulite. Ma quando si fa una doccia, il pavimento si bagna, anche con la scatola chiusa, probabilmente è un po'fugata. Abbiamo chiamato la ricezione e la risposta era che dovevano chiamare un tecnico per ripararlo, e hanno risolto la questione, ma il giorno dopo era di nuovo rotto. Fortunatamente il tempo non era così freddo, e fu possibile lasciare la finestra aperta, ma abbiamo dovuto affrontare il rumore che veniva dall’esterno; abbiamo chiesto di cambiare una stanza migliore non appena arrivammo. Ma il ricevitore ha detto che l'hotel era pieno, e che il giorno dopo avrebbero una stanza gratuita, in una categoria superiore, ma era necessario pagare la differenza per l'aggiornamento. Abbiamo detto che abbiamo il vantaggio dell'oro da **********, e questo aggiornamento sarebbe gratuito per noi. Non appena abbiamo parlato del vantaggio, ci hanno detto che dobbiamo aspettare il giorno dopo e vedere se la stanza sarebbe ancora disponibile, ma, naturalmente, non era più gratuita. Anche se la posizione dell'hotel è buona, non ci piacerebbe più stare lì.

As a Canadian traveler with large family, this boutique hotel in central Montevideo was one of the finest places I have stayed at. The front lobby staff (especially Laura) were incredibly helpful and English was very good. They are available on whatsapp to answer questions prior to your visit. The roof top breakfast dining was really great spread with hot meals. The location is generally safe and walking distance to the central commercial district. The famous Palacio Salvo and Plaza Independencia are a block away. Lots of eateries (Americano Cafe really good), pharmacies, laundry, and convenience stores. The history of revitilzation of this hotel reminded me of the incredible boutique hotels of Queen St W in Toronto (a bit like Drake Hotel with a more family feel). The rooms are not large as it is an older building conversion but offers a comfortable and clean upgrade.

L'atteggiamento del servizio della ricetta è buono, la stanza è in regola e il viaggio è in ordine.L'unico dolore è che il weekend è finito, il bar di tutta la strada è un carnaval di notte, il suono di Judy è molto dolce e influenza il sonno.La prossima stima non vivrà più.

hotel un pò fanè ma bellissimo, con con bagno privato enorme e balcone. Un magnifico ascensore porta al piano e al 6°, dopo una breve stretta rampa, c'è una terrazza con splendida vista del fiume e dei tetti. E' centralissimo ma di notte si riposa bene. Non è' prevista la colazione, ma ogni mattina c'era un termos di latte e uno di caffè caldi a disposizione oltre a dolci buonissimi. le signore della reception sono gentilissime al contrario di camerieri e tassisti. consigliatissimo

Right on a small square in the middle of the Old City, this gem makes you feel like you have gone back in time. It is old world glorious, unique, and well located. The room was large, and thoughtfully laid out with historical and thematic pieces. I had a 20's microphone and stand in mine. Very cool Breakfast was phenomenal, and a great start to each day. The best of all, was the staff. I lost my cell phone on my 2nd day, and AT&T did not allow me to activate my backup. Each of the staff (two gentleman and one gentlelady) took as a personal mission to ease the pain of such a loss on vacation. My basic Spanish helped in the stores, but all 3 had excellent English and more importantly a huge heart to help me out. What could have ruined my vacation, became a reminder of why I travel in the first place. To meet people and share experiences. There was no limit to what the staff tried to get me up and running with another phone, but also their cool and calm demeanor allowed me to stay in the right vacation mindset. Frankly they made the trip, and allowed me to continue with my plan on to Argentina. Danny

I stayed at this lovely hotel a number of times in April and May of this year 2023.This hotel is located in the heart of the Ciutad Vieja,the Old City, in Montevideo.The location is very convenient to the sights,attractions and restaurants of this part of the city.Check-in was handled speedily and the room I was given was clean and inviting.I want to pay tribute to the staff who were always friendly and helpful-Oscar,Francisco and Reuben...The ladies who operated the breakfast buffet were also friendly and welcoming....This is a lovely place to stay and a staff member is always available to assist with booking a taxi....I am happy to recommend this place and gladly give it 10 out of 10.

We had no problems with the hotel, its location or cleanliness. However, we were double charged for our room back in March 2022 and 7 months later have still not received a refund. Upon check in the girl charged our credit card the incorrect amount for our booking. When I pointed out the error, she recharged my credit card in the correct amount and said she would issue a credit once she asked someone who knew how to process it. Shortly after we were issued a credit and given the appropriate slips indicating the 2 charges and the credit charges to my card. When we arrived home I noticed 2 charges from the hotel on my credit card statement but no credit. For some reason the credit has never processed to my credit card. Up on closer inspection of the credit slip I noticed it says INCORRECTO at the bottom and therefore never got processed. I have sent numerous emails trying contact someone at the hotel since this booking trying to get my $463.50 USD refund; and no one will return my emails or my phone calls. I even had the booking agency contact the hotel (***********) and they still will not correct this matter. This is not a big hotel (it has 21 rooms) and at the time of our stay it had very few bookings so reconciling this matter should not be a problem. I wonder if they make a practice of doing this type of thing??
