Alma Histórica Boutique Hotel
This is like a bed and breakfast in old town Montevideo. The free breakfast was outstanding. The location is very convenient for access to the port, the port market, and many museums. We added a combined walk/car tour to intensely experience Montevideo during our 4-day stay.

Axsur Design Hotel
The hotel is beautiful and the staff were great. We just wish we had been staying on the other side of Montevideo. Not the best neighborhood.

Staff was fantastic and very helpful and polite. My room, though, was clean except for floor. I don’t think it was vacuumed in quite some time!
