Hotel location excellent - just a 10minute gentle uphill walk from the port and right in the heart of the old historic town. Plenty of restaurants, bars, bike rentals and ATMs within a 5minute walk from the hotel.
Staff were superb. Concierge (via HOM) were able to help organise tickets that we wanted for the Montevideo carnaval and they were ready and waiting for us at reception when we checked in. They also went to the trouble of sending a picture through, via email, of the tickets to prove they had obtained them before we arrived. Also worth highlighting the staff who look after breakfast and are constantly replenishing items, clearing tables and ensuring everyone has a seat/table and running a orderly list if people need to wait for a seat/table. The staff worked really hard to keep on top of a busy breakfast restaurant. I also loved that every fresh breakfast item had tongs to use (rather than guests sticking their hands all of them). Not all guests used them (no surprise there) but at least the hotel are taking the right steps.
Disappointed that there wasn’t a safe in each room to store valuables - maybe something I should have checked on the hotel facilities beforehand.
Pool area was clean (and regularly cleaned each day) but there were no shower facilities at the pool (before going in the water) so I wasn’t too sure how clean the pool was itself.
