Pros: Great location Breakfast was really nice, lots of options

Cons: The water pressure from the shower was not good The hotel could undergo some sort of renovation

Pros: Very friendly staff, good services, great view

Cons: The breakfast is always exactly the same. If you stay more than a couple of nights, it is quite depressing

Pros: Location, swimming pool

Cons: Internet included was too slow, and charged for faster connection (unbelievable). Breakfast was repetitive and without alternatives for gluten intolerant.

Pros: The location is very good on the main plaza and near the old city.

Cons: The room was dingy and dated. There was black mold in the shower. There wasn’t a mattress pad on the bed, and the very poor quality, thin sheet lifted up while I was sleeping so I was directly on the mattress. Disgusting. The staff was unfriendly. They were very slow at the restaurant. The concierge was not helpful and had us call the car rental company ourselves. The gym is dirty and very dated. The WiFi is spotty and rather slow. The second floor of the hotel is boarded up. I could go on and on. What a terrible hotel!

Pros: Very specious rooms. Good location.

Cons: Maid did not come one day. Beds were not made. Room was not cleaned.

Cons: Breakfast just ok (no changes during the 12 days I spent at the hotel); very limited veggie options (only fruit and sweets). I would recommend more variety

Pros: location, comfortable bed, breakfast was ok had all you needed but breads were not fresh.

Cons: the hotel in general, the room amenities, old and thin towels.

Pros: Everything

Pros: The hotel staff were very lovely and helpful each and every day. Location was superb, and I had a huge comfortable bed. Felt like home for my 5 night stay.

Cons: I like to eat healthy, the breakfast was good but it would have been better with more healthy options e.g. boiled eggs as opposed to scrambled.

Pros: The men who helped us with the luggage.

Cons: Room was oké but shower with very poor water. Bed was hard and cushions like concrete. We took a bottle of water from the fridge and thought is was for free as we could not find any rates. But we were charged $2,50

Pros: This is a good midrange choice in the historical centre of the city. Everything was good without being outstanding. Rooms are clean and functional. Wifi was good and the breakfast was plentiful.

Cons: The hot water in my room was a problem. It didn’t work one day and they fixed it immediately. However, in the morning I was leaving it wasn’t working again. I don’t believe this will be an ongoing problem though as the management response was appropriate.

Pros: Position. Modern. Helpful staff.

Cons: Bidet not working.

Cons: Problems with electricity and lightning on the room!

Pros: Super close to the sights in Ciudad Vieja - an easy walk to everything!

Cons: Very noisy rooms. Could hear a lot of noise from the street and neighboring rooms and the main hallway. Room did not have the metal shutters necessary to keep noise out.

Pros: Close to the ferry

Pros: Very good value, friendly staff, good breakfast and location.

Cons: I have no complaints

Pros: Both rooms I had were immaculate, and stocked with what I needed. My original reservation was for two nights and I had a good-sized very quiet room. I had to book an extra night after my flight cancelled, and the second room was considerably smaller and louder. The price was higher, but the manager negotiated and met me half way with the price I paid and what the rate was that day. Overall, friendly service and no complaints. I'd stay here again (but would ask for my original room!)

Cons: Breakfast was not great. I ended up eating out. Not everyone at the desk speaks English, so if you don't speak Spanish, it just requires creativity and patience, but they are very nice and eager to help.

Pros: Staff esa Exellent

Pros: Comfy bed, nice shower, good location a few blocks from Plaza Independencia

Cons: rooms need updating

Pros: Short walk to Old city cafes and lively area. All the Staff are very kind and helpful

Cons: Location area seems rough but to be fair was only two blocks from a good part of the old city

Pros: La atenvion del personal

Cons: Me gustaria que se incluya el desayuno en la oferta

Pros: Friendly staff. Nice location.

Cons: Old building. Tonnes of noises at floor 9th.

Pros: I liked the staf. It's allways very kind

Cons: Indidn't like the wi fi sistem. It eas very weake. I missed the signal every time

Pros: We had a medical emergency and the staff called a doctor to come to the hotel. We were so thankful that we didn’t have to figure out the medical system abroad.

Pros: Great location close to everything.

Cons: Beds are to hard for my taste

Pros: Very good location in the old part of the town, nice room and facilities and very friendly staff. Recommended!

Pros: Central, Wifi is ok, breakfast is good, receptionists were nice.

Cons: Montevideo is not a safe place! Hotel is central but area is like anywhere in MV not so safe. One of the staff in the breakfast room was extremely unfriendly and rude!! Single room is very small and all the single rooms are next to the elevator so you hear people a lot. Walls are extremely thin, you can hear your neighbour doing "everything"!!!

Pros: Location was downtown which I wanted. If people in the next room had their TV on I heard it all. Older property but well maintained and excellent staff. Cheap price.

Cons: Neighbor's tv woke me up both nights when they returned back to their rooms. I'm an early sleeper. This was bothersome.

Pros: Location

Cons: "A Kafkian Nightmare" would actually be the perfect title for a night in Hotel America - if only sleeping was a possibility in that place. The hotel faces a busy street, so that traffic is almost the undisputable soundtrack within the room. It competes only with the noises coming from other rooms, which, given how thin the walls are, leave the impression that other people were laying right next to us in bed. A good night of sleep was out of question for us. But talking to the staff and trying to figure out solutions wasn't an option either. On our first night we asked the receptionists to move us to a room that wouldn't face the street directly. They allegedly didn't have the power to do so. We would have to wait until the next morning to speak to the manager, at 10 am. Countless and sleepless hours later, we come to the front desk, which informs us the manager actually comes from 2 pm to 6 pm. Some sight-seeing in Montevideo until the manager arrives. 4h30 pm and we were back to Hotel America: no signs from the manager whatsoever. The receptionists ignored us as if nothing happened at all. An accountant leaves his administrative desk to speak on behalf of the hotel. He (ironically) argues the world is surrounded by noises and there was nothing to do - though he also claimed not to have authority to do anything either way. The night comes and there is still no manager to talk to. At this point, one would wonder whether such almighty character truly exists in this Kafkian tale. Cars still sounded like racing through our sheets. The family next door still sounded like practicing for an Opera concert within our closet. The only silence we got was from Hotel America. We eventually left early to look for peace and respect in a new accommodation. In summary: Hotel America, a nightmare of wasted money, insomnia, rude staff and absent management!

Pros: The room was clean, had comfortable beds. The night front desk clerk was professional, friendly and very helpful with information about the sites and restaurants in the city. Good breakfast.

Cons: They have an $18 early check-in fee if you'd like to check-in at 11am. Thought it was excessive. The front desk called a taxi for me to the airport and was quoted a different rate than the one I received from the taxi driver. The front desk never apologized for their mistake. They said absolutely nothing when confronted with the difference. Also the walls are thin and you can hear other guests' TVs from your own room.
