Montevideo Hotels in Punta Carretas

The check in was flawless and the room excellent. Nice bed, and almost no noise. Great value. The first room had a strong tobacco stink. It was really bad, but as soon as we call reception, they gave apologies and immediately found another room for us.

I'd have to mention the view... gorgeous view of the bay and sunrise. The room was superb and the bed very comfortable. There was an excellent breakfast too. The bathroom was very well suited but there was no disposable comb or a brush. We were on a emergency stay and we didn't have those on us. No toothpaste or toothbrush either. It'd be nice to have some disposable ones just in case.

The hotel staff is excellent. The breakfast is made by a bakery, not by the hotel, so expect a delicious breakfast. The room is big, and the window is huge, it takes the whole wall. The hotel is very well located in a very quiet neighborhood, at 10 minutes walking to Punta Carretas Shopping Mall, and it's 30 seconds from the Pocitos beach. The gym is small, but enough to keep up with some morning training, and the solarium is just awesome. The internet connection was kinda poor: by the morning the connection was ok, but by the evening (after 6pm) it was very slow and unstable.

Great location, services and breakfast. Discretionary wine tasting and very helpful staff.

Kayak offered a great rate at the Mercure. This hotel is on the waterfront, but you will have to pay up for a room with a beach view. The breakfast hours are ample and numerous. The rooms are small, but clean and efficient. The public areas outside of the lobby have a motion sensor. So if you take more than 5 seconds trying to work a poor room card, you will find yourself in the dark taking twice the time to motion the light back on. The morning receptionist can be surly with a bit of Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. A cab ride is required for top rated TripAdvisor restaurants, but a safe neighborhood often triumphs most things.

This was my first time using online travel, so I was making a selection based on reviews. The hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was excellent. The rooms large and clean. The breakfast buffet is fantastic!. When I return to Montevideo, this will be my home away from home.
