The hotel has a great location in downtown Montevideo, making it easy to explore the Old City and nearby attractions. The rooms are quiet and well-designed, offering a comfortable stay. However, the dining options could use more variety, especially during breakfast. Overall, it's a decent choice for value considering the service and amenities, but the area might feel a bit sketchy after dark.
