This hotel-of-a-certain-age is well maintained and, as other reviewers have remarked, is distinguished by its congenial staff and excellent breakfast which considerably exceeds the South American norm. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. More

I can't fault this hotel. The location was fine, pretty close to the centre and with plenty of restaurants within five minutes' walk if you don't want to stray too far. It probably takes about 15 minutes to walk to the centre of town, and it is a straightforward walk. If you keep to the main streets, it feels relatively... More

This place is a fine place to stay for a few days if you want to be in Centro (downtown) Montevideo, as I did. I was passing through from the Punta del Este beach resorts, back to Buenos Aires via the hydrofoil ferry. The ferry dock is close-by, as is the Ciudad Viejo (the Old City) of Montevideo. As it's...

Even though the physical plant is a bit rundown, the hotel's staff puts itself out for you. The breakfast is exceptional. The location can't be beat. Wifi is delivered by floor, with a separate section for the lobby bar, with different passwords for each. My iPhone almost had a nervous breakdown. Some street noise if you have a room at... More

The weekend stay was really closed up and hard to find open shops and Restaurants. We are walkers and perhaps we did not find our way at first. The Breakfast was above Average with great Coffee and a wide selection. WiFI good not great but you for sure could get it. The room was a bit small but I cannot... More

We stayed at the hotel for 3 nights. It´s not quite what one would expect for a 4 stars hotel. Worn furniture, old fashioned lobby, needs renovating. Windows aren´t noise proof, so be prepared to the noise from the street, since it´s in a central area. We didn´t feel very safe walking around at night, since the streets are dark... More

This place might have been four stars when it opened (seventies or eighties by the look of the decor) but it’s faded a bit since then. That being said it’s reasonably quiet (double glazed windows) and comfortable. It’s probably worth the US$70/night or so we paid if (as in our case) all your looking for is somewhere to get a...

While the Lafayette appears to have been built (30? 40? years' ago) to 4-star standard, it is now out-of-date. But, still fully functionable. If you choose to stay here because it's the cheapest 4-star in town, you really have no right to complain about it. (Want better, pay more elsewhere.) Booked through agoda, LaFytte staff at check-in first insisted I... More

Not an option. Located in a busy street with buses and lots of pollution in the room. Weak service, breakfast and doubtful cleanness. Not an option, even for the price paid. More
