Very good view near the sea

Inhumane.

Hotel pequeno mas muito limpo e confortável para viagem de turismo ou negócio.

Firstly, it is unacceptable that this hotel does not have a reserved space on the sidewalk (yellow) to stop the car while unloading luggage. The rooms in the back are too small. The photos correspond to the front ones, which are larger. The size of the beds is small with little space around them. Very hard mattress. Very good attention from the staff, and good breakfast. It seems to me like a modest three-star hotel with the price of a higher category.

Firstly, this is a budget hotel, and one should make allowances. However the primary criteria we use is that we should get a good nights sleep, with a hot shower without stepping into a bath. Now here’s what went wrong in room 401 facing the sea for four nights. The double glazed windows do not close properly as the catches have been relocated. Therefore the traffic noise is quite audible. The room is of Hong Kong size, small with a king size bed and one chair. The top sheet on the bed is far too small. If you like rubber pillows, then is the place for you - otherwise, tough luck. There is adequate handing space and drawers. The breakfast is the usual continental style, and yes, it has home-made granola as someone else says. There is the option of hot scrambled eggs, but you’ll need to know this as no-one will tell you. By and large, I’d give it a miss, although it is very handy to the Fresh Market supermarket which is one of the best I have ever seen, and the Punta Carreras shopping mall which houses the El Fogon Restaurant, one of the saving graces to our visit.

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.

Small hotel located across from La Rambla with a great view of Rio de la Plata. It's within walking distance of a shopping mall and restaurants. Staff were pleasant & helpful. Not many spoke English so it's good to know some Spanish. I elected to pay extra for breakfast when I made the reservation. Breakfast is served in the lounge on the ground level; the choices were delightful. I thought breakfast and the room were a great value for the price. I would highly recommend it.

First, the hotel has excellent facilities and the breakfast service is fantastic. But the most important thing is that the staff is very cordial, attentive and with the best disposition, they helped me understand Montevideo and have a complete experience, both as a tourist on a business trip and from a local perspective. Excellent everything, highly recommended

What a pleasure to wake up with such a view ! The team is excellent, they take great care of you when you need it and they give you privacy when it’s necessary ! Such a good location ! Very nice breakfast. Gym with a stunning view. Thank you Shirly, Alejandro as well as Fabricio from the breakfast, and all the others team members I forgot ! Bikes for rent are available on site! I’ll be back

Hotel well located, close to shopping, restaurants, beaches, church. Very good service. Very helpful staff. Adequate accommodation. Breakfast with lower cost and benefit than expected.
