The hotel gives the illusion of being modern and clean but falls short in reality. The rooms are old, dirty, and emit a strong smell of cigarette smoke, making them unwelcoming. The location is convenient for exploring the city but lacks true comfort and cleanliness. The dining experience is questionable with issues in cleanliness. Service, however, stands out as friendly and helpful.

The hotel's location is simply superb, being easily walkable to the main sites in the old town, and it offers a false sense of security with its modern appearance. Although the street noise can be bothersome on lower levels, it's a great spot overall. The rooms are in need of some serious upgrades as they look worn out and uninviting. The staff service varies from friendly and helpful to downright rude, making for a mixed experience.

The room was falling apart with a plastic cover and tape over the window, making it look unattractive. The aircon unit had a pipe going out, letting in cold air at night.

My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were dark, old, and dirty, forcing me to spend most of my time outside exploring the city. The service was mixed, with some staff members being rude while others were friendly and helpful. The location seemed nice at first but turned out to be a bit deceiving, with the hotel not living up to its initial impression. The dining experience was sketchy, with unappealing conditions at times. However, the breakfast was simple but good. Overall, the facilities were lacking in upkeep and appearance.

The hotel gives a false impression of modernity but fails to deliver overall. The rooms are dark, uninviting, and carry a lingering smell of old cigarette smoke, making it difficult to spend time indoors. However, the central location provides easy access to explore the city. The breakfast area lacks cleanliness and attention to detail in dishwashing, hindering the dining experience.

I found this hotel to have a great location, close to the city center, allowing easy exploration of Montevideo. However, the room was not well-maintained with issues like poor servicing and a twin room instead of what was booked. The breakfast experience was lacking with utensils not properly cleaned, but the staff was friendly and helpful.
