Guest Reviews

• Randall (10/5): - Niiice
• Don (10/5): - Good
• Tatiana (4/5): - Bad location, quite rough. The room is nice, but too many windows, making it cold and extremely noisy. On Fridays and Saturdays, there are drums until 3am, and drunk people screaming until 6am, making it impossible to sleep. The people at the reception couldn't even be bothered to talk. A Chinese guest was watching extremely loud "funny" videos during breakfast, I asked a member of staff to speak to the guest, and they refused it. Were were going to leave our luggage there and pick it up later, but we didn't feel like they were people of trust.
• Susan (10/5): - Wonderful hotel in the he heart of El Centro. Near everything.
• Stefanie (10/5): - Amazing staff extremely reliable and clean room. Very helpful in accommodations for our toddler.
• Elide (10/5): - Air conditioning
• Alexander (10/5): - No issues
• Charles (10/5): - This hotel is a great value. Decent location, but the immediate area is a bit dirty. Close to good dining options. The staff are friendly and the service is very good
• Leonardo (10/5): - It was my second stay after a few years, and the hotel is still kept as new.
• Mark (10/5): - Excellent no frills hotel, managed and staffed by outstanding hoteliers. I highly recommend staying here.
• Michael (8/5): - Srh
• Gabriela (10/5): - It is a nice place to stay. Staff was very nice and helpful. You can walk around to old city and downtown.
• William (8/5): - Great location, large room with large terrace. Helpful and friendly staff
• Verified traveler (10/5): A good and comfortable stay - A fabulous stay and have good view overlooking the sea. Also property was in a central location. The breakfast provided was of good variety.
• Michael Manuel (10/5): Superb hotel with terrific customer service - Smart Hotel offers some of the best amenities and services that I have experienced in my travels. The king-sized bed was quite comfortable. Rooms have a small refrigerator and sink, and there is plenty of closet space (plus a strong box so you can lock up your passport, laptop, etc.) The hotel is centrally located in Montevideo’s historical downtown, with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance to enjoy). Most importantly, Smart Hotel has a very professional and efficient staff, from the managers to the lobby attendants to the restaurant and cleaning staff. I highly recommend this hotel. In fact, I’m headed back there in early April.
• Francisco (8/5): - All ok, good price, location it depends
• Rebecca (8/5): - Location in run down area but close to Independence Plaza where bus services stop. The room we had was on the 10th floor and suffered from the noise the lifts make at all hours. We were offered a room change but couldn't face packing and unpacking again. Staff were helpful and friendly. I asked for a bill and it was emailed to me. I couldn't view one of the files and the one I could read was simply a sum total and no breakdown therefore not much use. The bed was comfortable but not so the pillows. One very soft the other hard...
• ana (10/5): - We traveled from California to Montevideo, Uruguay. It was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend this hotel. The food service was excellent with lots of tasty meal options. The staff was friendly and accommodated our needs. This location is close to mercado del puerto which has many restaurants and souvenir shops.
• Igor (10/5): - I was pleased with my 5-night stay at Smart Hotel. The staff at the front desk, the restaurant, and housekeeping were friendly and helpful. The location is excellent for visiting the Ciudad Vieja, and accessing public transportation.
• Bryan (8/5): Good option for city stay - Fairly modern city centre hotel. We opted for a superior room which was spacious with kitchenette and sitting area. Bathroom had walk in shower. Bed was comfy. Breakfast buffet was decent but you have to book a time when they are busy as the dining area is small. Ate dinner there too but only average. Staff for most part are young and helpful, although was irritated to find our room had not been cleaned when we returned after a busy day at 17.30. Someone was sent up pretty quickly but then we had to vacate our room for another 30 mins and there was no apology. Was pleased to find a small but well equipped gym. One thing to note is that the hotel is on a fairly busy road. We were allocated a room on the first floor and it was quite noisy so may be best to request a room on a high floor.
• Ann (8/5): - We have been here before! It’s a great location to be near Ciudad Vieja and the port. The staff is able to communicate in many languages. The front desk was cordial but not so friendly. The restaurant staff were incredible! We REALLY enjoyed and appreciated them!! The rooms are comfortable & spacious for the basic decor. Walking distance to many restaurants & shops. The street noise is present, but with windows closed, not overwhelming. Breakfast is very nice but basic. Definately we will stay again!!
• Pavel (8/5): - Good overall. Same breakfast every day.
• Lara (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, very well located. Good breakfast, kind staff
• Shih Wei (8/5): - Pros: - Excellent location, within walking distance to famous attractions and old town - My room is big, bright and offered a partial view of the Palacio Salvo through one window panel, which was a lovely touch Cons: - Room cleanliness fell short of expectations - Bathroom water had an unpleasant odor - Kettle was dirty and badly stained - Customer service could be improved - Staff is friendly but unfortunately, it seemed that any request won't be handled reliably.
• Claudia (10/5): - Great hotel
• Judith (10/5): - Staff was great. Very nice restaurant with wonderful staff. Great location for seeing Montevideo
• Erin (10/5): Great Montevideo Spot - We had a great experience. We needed to be near the ferry terminal and it was a nice walk in the morning with cafes on the way. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean!
• Isabelle (10/5): Simply the best! - A few days before, we could upgrade our room for a corner loft, which was very spatious, top clean and very confortable! Also, the restaurant in this hotel serves excellent meals and we ended up eating all our breakfasts and dinner at ‘Americano’ because prices were competitive and the food was excellent. We also appreciate the location; very near ‘Plaza de Independencia’ and all the markets in the streets nearby when a cruise ship was in Montevideo. Moreover, the staff was very profesionnal, courteous and very kind! I highly recommand Smart hôtel!
• roberto (6/5): - Nice property to visit Montevideo, good breakfast! Room got lots of noise from the streat late night and very early morning. Good hotel!
• Pierre (10/5): - Great value for money, rooms are excellent, spacious and with modern furniture. In my room there were a few minor wear and tear issues needing attention, like minor paint retouches and the safe was locked. But everything else good, towels thick and clean smelling, same for linen, great pillows, the bed was fantastic, nice coffee area, and the bathroom was clean and spacious. Areas outside the room like access corridor and elevators, excellent. The hotel has a small restaurant downstairs.
• Kenny (8/5): - All good, just bathroom needs to be cleaned deeply…
• Gabriela (10/5): - Overall everything was good
• Jeff (10/5): - Views from the room were very nice, and the property had everything we needed. Powerful AC. The staff were very helpful and kind. We arrived early by Buquebus from Buenos Aires, and they stowed our luggage. A day before we arrived we requested a slightly early check-in, but they were unable to accommodate us. It was the one thing they might have been able to do better.
• Vinay (10/5): - Friendly staff, great rooms. Good WiFi
• Samantha (8/5): - Very near old City which is great for walking around
• Verified traveler (6/5): Disappointing - The area was not what we expected. We worried about safety in the area as many shut store fronts and graffiti. We had a double room with a terrace. The mattress and pillows were terrible. I slept with the rough towel as my pillow.Bathroom was generally ok. The kitchenette not really helpful. Centrally located for Plaza Independencia, Mercado and the rambla. Their saving grace and our escape is the American Bar. The reception staff were helpful though not all spoke English. Surely a minimum requirement for hotel reception staff? We hated having to book a time for breakfast. When on vacation one wants to have breakfast when one is ready.
• Stephen (10/5): - Nice hotel just off the main avenue, but in a bit of a off the beaten path. There are a few sketchy people around but it's very convenient to independence square, Palacio Salvo and old Montevideo. The restaurant recommendations made by the hotel were excellent. I've stayed here before and one thing worth mentioning is the wide swing in pricing, as cheap as $60 per night and sometimes over $100...
• Hansel (10/5): - Excellent staff, new property, good breakfast
• JULIO (10/5): - This is a small hotel in the middle of the city center. Very walkable and convenient. The staff is very friendly and respectful. I recommend it!
• Allana (10/5): - The hotel is clean and well maintained with excellent service. There’s a restaurant on site and the food is good. Very good value.
• Vicki (8/5): - The staff were excellent booking us ferry tickets and a taxi
• Marcelo (8/5): - There are no gluten free options at the restaurant. They were willing to accomodate only for breakfast.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice, basic hotel. Staff were professional, but didn’t make extra effort to be friendly or helpful. Absolutely no issues, to be clear but a little “sparkle” goes a long way in hospitality. The area was quite noisy, even with window shut and latched, but that can be expected in urban areas. In house restaurant and bar was sufficent, but hours and menu were limited and it was confusing on seating/service/ordering expectations.
• Adolphus (8/5): - Everything was great. I had to check out early traveling to the north of the country so I didn't spend much time there. Great breakfast
• Niall (6/5): Great Hotel but situated near very loud Night Club - The hotel is very pleasantly situated in the downtown area of Montevideo. It is clean, modern and very comfortable. The staff all provided a high level of customer service, although language barriers were sometimes an issue.- but in fairness their English was much better than my Spanish. I would have been very satisfied with the hotel and everything about it. However the stay was ruined by the nearby club whcih oipens from 11.00pm to 5.30am. Throughout the night, the noise of the excessively loud and relentless music, plus the noise of the customers who were partying thoughout the night made sleep impossible.
• DANILO ARMANDO (10/5): - Hotel is in a very good condition. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfest is great.
• Aaron (10/5): Nice - What a nice little hotel on the corner of an urban area where I could walk to the plazas and port market within minutes. Friendly staff and beautiful room with plenty of space.
• Gonzalo (10/5): - The hotel is amazing new clean and convenient. Would come back if i had to stay in that area no doubt! Thanks guys!
• Victor (10/5): - great hotel 10/10
• John (10/5): - Great location. Close to transportation, Ciudad Vieja, and restaurants.
• José (10/5): - Very nice hotel ! Good location but very noise at night. Staff was great very helpful and nice.
• Shayra (6/5): - The photos do not accurately reflect the rooms, especially the bathrooms. The photos are old and not updated. We were disappointed with the condition of the rooms and bathroom compared to the photos.
• Alec (10/5): - The staff are great - welcoming, warm, helpful.
• Patricia (10/5): - Best costumer service ever !
• Bernard (10/5): - Convenient and modern!
• rafael (6/5): - Renewed, spartan, but considering other hotels in Montevideo ..good
• Bruce (10/5): - Good location, friendly staff, nice view
• Paul (10/5): - The hotel is perfectly situated nearby to historic and cultural attractions, but far enough away from the port to avoid the mass of cruise ship passengers. The staff were all very kind and helpful with questions, taxis, etc. the view from the rooftop is also quite nice.
• Brian (10/5): - Close to the port.
• Michael (10/5): Quaint boutique hotel in good location. - Quaint and coveniently located boutique hotel within walking distance of the main public areas and the Palacio Salvo. Breakfast was good as was the stir fry at the restaurant. Staff were pleasant and helpful. My only complaint is that my top floor room had a very nice patio area but the chairs were of poor and flimsy quality. The deck could also use a table.
• David (10/5): Smart describes the design and value. - This was my fourth stay at Smart over the past five years. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great location. Smart describes the design and overall value. I will return soon.
• NORMA (10/5): - Great place to stay while discovering Montevideo
• Lilia (10/5): - Clean and staff friendly and good service
• Martin (6/5): - Unfriendly service at checkin
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very good - The staff was great very helpful. The breakfast excellent. The only point to comment was that the mattress wasn’t comfortable and on the sides was extremely used/ unleveled
• Hermann (10/5): - Very nice hotel
• Donald (10/5): - Everything was great! Good area close to main sights and la Ramba.
• Luis (8/5): - Very central. Breakfast staff could be a tiny bit more polite. It makes a difference.
• michael (6/5): I'm guessing this is a good hotel for Montevideo - The first room was supposed to be a king size bed, but was two twins pushed together... which sucks... they gave me a room with a balcony without a couch and a queen size bed... it was an upgrade, but I would have preferred a king bed with a couch to sit on.... breakfast on the property is reasonably priced for Montevideo and pretty decent... walls are thin, and the elevator makes noise that you can hear in your room... the rooms are clean and modern with English language channels... I've mixed feelings about my stay but location and price make it a decent stay and the staff was nice despite not being able to get me my desired room
• Mary (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful desk staff! We had a nice room with a view and loved the convenience of the small well- designed kitchen for snacks. Restaurant was good for included breakfast and also for a meal or a drink. Good location for exploring the old town but also convenient to shopping district. Shower floor emphasizes non-skid over whiteness so it appears grubby even when clean. Very comfortable bed and heat pump keeps room nice temperature. Extremely quiet and pleasant.
• Adam (8/5): Great hotel - Good stay, nice area and good breakfast. The “double bed” was actually 2 singles pushed together and it dipped so didn’t have the best sleep but otherwise great hotel and stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Super Hotel - The hotel was absolute very nice. The hotel is very modern and are very clean. The ara around the hotel is run down and many homeless people.
• Jonathan (10/5): - Would stay again. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Room was no frills but was clean and comfortable. Overall great value.
• SHIVA (10/5): - Friendly staff- specially Niki who checked us in spoke English and she was very helpfull. The breakfast was great, nice room size, very clean, convenient location.
• Scott (10/5): - We had a beautiful corner room with lots of windows. The bed and bathroom were great and we had a small fridge as well as a desk. There were some restaurants around the area, but it was downtown and very quiet on the weekend with lots of places closed Sunday. Fortunately the hotel restaurant was open Sunday night.
• Don (8/5): - The staff member (Mateus) that dealt with me spoke very good English and was very helpful with local information. The premises were modern and nice, the immediate surrounding area was safe but a little run down, only a few blocks to the waterfront or large central square.
• MARÍA FRANCISCA (10/5): - Very nice hotel, staff very friendly, good breakfast, dinning and room service until late
• Chris (10/5): - great location, with nice staff
• silvana (10/5): - Very nice hotel. Clean and friendly costumer service. . Excellent location.
• Roberto (10/5): - Hotel de reciente construcción, las condiciones son excelentes. El único problema es que de noche y madrugada el área puede ser insegura. Desde la ventana del hotel vimos a una chica quien un asaltante le arrebató su cartera domingo a las 6:00am.
• Ivan (4/5): - Nuestra estadía había sido regular dejando a un lado la suciedad y de la zona y la seguridad de la entrada hacia el hotel; pero lo que hizo que nuestra calificación fuera POBRE, fue la atención del staff quienes, ante el robo de una prenda de ropa en nuestra habitación nos dijeron mentirosos. En vez de encontrar una manera de aliviar la molestia, nos dijeron mentirosos cuando en efecto, la prenda dejó de estar en nuestras maletas. NO LO RECOMENDARÍA, AHÓRRATE LAS MOLESTIAS Y BUSCA UN MEJOR LUGAR.
• Sean (8/5): - This is a decent hotel for a business trip or short stay in the city. I needed overnight accommodations—arrive at lunch, get dinner with colleagues, sleep, attend a conference, and fly out the next day. This fits the bill nicely. I arrived very early, hoping to drop bags at the hotel until check-in, but they called housekeeping to prepare a room and had me set up in under 10 minutes. The front desk staff spoke English, but it's helpful (and courteous) if you can ask for things and carry on a brief conversation in Spanish. (And I'm looking at you, America.) The room itself is more than I expected. It's a good size, with a microwave and mini-fridge stocked with a few courtesy items. A small closet contains a safe for valuables. There's a high table in the kitchen/common space, or a long, narrow desk along one wall where you can work. WiFi is free and has decent speed and bandwidth. The bed is soft and comfortable, with good linens. A couch and coffee table complete the room. The hotel is in a "bad part" of Montevideo. Take that as you will—the "bad" part of Montevideo is better than "average" parts of many cities. There is some trash and a few homeless in the area, but it's a 2 block walk from nicer areas, grocery, & shopping. Use reasonable caution while walking alone, and perhaps consider a car at night or if you're a single female.
• John (8/5): - The towels in the bathroom had large, what seemed like ink, blotches. While not necessarily unhygenic, it isnt something I expected to see in a good quality hotel and left me asking if it was clean. The gym seemed to be a few old pieces of equipment in a unused bedroom. Similarily the terrace seems to be part of an unused room. Other than that, the room was good and rematively updated although the kitchen area would have benefited from a microwave. The cafe on the ground floor served good quality food but the breakfast was limited even if the food that was there was good. The area is centrally located and a short work from all fhe main sights, shoppening areas etc.
• Joel (10/5): - Great location near 18 de Julio and Plaza Independencia. I also was surprised by the size of the room, almost an American sized room. Not my favorite bed or mattress, personally, but a good overall stay for one night in Montevideo!
• Daria (10/5): - Great service and very friendly staffs! I will definitely come back! Thank you very much!
• Andrew (6/5): Okay stay. - Hotel within walking distance to the main tourist attractions and restaurants. Good stuff: Staff- Magaly in reception and Ignacio in the Bar Americano, both of whom were particularly friendly and helpful. Strong wifi in all areas of the hotel. Large balcony off our room. Comfortable bed and clean linen. Great music in the restaurant. Not so good stuff: Hotel has seen better days. The bath needed a good cleaning as does the carpet in the hall of the 10th floor. Chairs and table on the balcony need a good cleaning or replacing. It appears the photos of the hotel are dated. Would we stay here again? Toss up. Close to attractions and great staff.
• Matthias (6/5): - For me the most important issue was that the cleaning staff stole 3.000 pesos (~USD75) from a computer sleeve pocket. In part it was my mistake because a) I could have kept all cash in the safe and b) I had asked the service person to clean my room while I was out for a run and I think she might have seen me putting the cash into the sleeve pocket in a rush when she entered the room). Still, doesn't make for a trust-worthy place. The staff was otherwise nice and the manager told me that he spoke to the person in question (as did I). She did insist that she didn't take anything. Since I didn't have any evidence, I left it like that. Lesson learned. Otherwise, the hotel is fine, but not very well maintained. The room had a few design flaws (kitchenette without a dish towel; no mosquito screen in front of the window which opens; uneven floor in the shower meant that it never drained properly).
• Alexander (8/5): - It‘s one of the better hotels in this area. The staff is extremely helpful with everything. A big thanks to them.
• Christopher (10/5): Good Choice - Large, comfortable room with desk area, small kitchen with eating counter, good size bathroom, bed was comfortable as were pillows. Front desk staff and restaurant staff all friendly.
• Joyce (10/5): - Staff is extraordinary! Very helpful and caring! Room was large, clean, and well appointed.
• CHRIS (10/5): Peasant stay in a spacious room - Easy check in. Room was very spacious. Front clerks spoke english.
• Iyad (10/5): - It is a very good property and new. Very comfortable
• Anna Marta (10/5): - The location was great ,the room huge and luminous. Possibly one thing that was annoying was the music coming from the restaurant early in the morning. But otherwise a great place to stay!
• Dennis (8/5): - This is a botique hotel. When I got off from the taxi, I thought that it is located in an unsafe neighborhood as I see a homeless person camping in front an unoccupied building on the other side of the street . There were also graffitis on some of the building walls. The following day, the city had a clean up of the street and the homeless guy is gone and the area transformed into a much better view. I arrived at 9 in the morning and I had to wait until almost 3 pm for my room, however, the wait was worth because I got the suite on the last floor, which is the 10th floor and had a good balcony to see the view of this part of the city. It has a good view of the Palacio Salvo which is just a block away from the hotel. Inside the suite, they have a small counter with a microwave and a sink. The bathroom amenities are very basic. They have those bottle dispenser for shampoo, conditioner and body wash that are attached to the walls. They also have a safe for your valuables. Breakfast is provided if it is included in your reservation and they have a nice small restaurant. The lady in the reception desk have a very minimal English language skill and you get the impression that she doesn't easily give a smile. The other guy is more hospitable and welcoming and oriented me on how to get around the city. The small gym is also the 10th floor which is actually next room from my suite. The hotel is strategically located if you want to explore the Historical area of Montevideo.
• Liesel (10/5): - Staff was lovely. Nice bed. Food very poor since I arrived on a Sunday and nothing was open. Street is very dirty and rundown.
• Julie (10/5): - Hotel was clean and our room had the king bed and kitchenette which is a rare find in South America. Staff were helpful, English is limited but we made it work. They gave us a promo for El Fogon restaurant and it was the best place to eat in MVD. Location is the best, very walkable in Centro.
• Claus (10/5): - Easy access to city center. Breakfast slots make sure you have a seat and that the buffet is not crowded. Room was really nice!
• Charles (8/5): - Staff were friendly and helpful and for the most part spoke English. Breakfast ok, though no hot food, dinner menu limited. Room was clean and comfortablee and Hotel is convenient to all downtown areas.
• Micheal (10/5): - Great location close to the river, easy ealk arou d town, wonderful front desk staff.
• MARIA (10/5): - Excelente atención del personal que atiende el hotel
