The hotel facade is lovely and the common areas are quite well done, however the rooms themselves are badly in need of refurbishment and cleaning. While the hotel is in a central location for bars, restaurants etc, at night the noise from the street is very loud and there is little that can be done about it (even if the... more

We saw this hotel on Samantha Brown's travel show on the travel channel, so we decided to give it a try. Also, my husband studied Spanish for a month in Montevideo before I returned with him to visit, and he thought this was a good location for exploring the city. The hotel is architecturally beautiful, with rooms opening out into... more

We stumbled into this hotel based on Samantha Brown's recommendation (she does a travel show). I must say that in her show it looked much better than in real life. In real life it looked like an old, majestic hotel that had gone decrepit then was renovated on the cheap. The room was claustrophobic and not something you want to... more

We arrived in Montevideo early afternoon and stumbled across this hotel just off the Plaza Independencia on the corner of Bartolome Mitre and Sarandi in the old town. The hotel is centrally located, clean and modern yet retains lots of character. We stayed in a comfortable standard duplex room with a balcony overlooking the street. The bathroom was a little... more

Stayed at this hotel just over 2 weeks ago and thought it was wonderful. We had 2 rooms on the 4th floor - my room had a high ceiling, flat screen TV, very comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The other room was on 2 levels! There were about 3 other rooms on the 4th floor that were all being... more

Your have just found the right hotel for your stay in Montevideo. Hotel plaza Fuerte is situated on an excellent location and the staff are fantastic. After I bought the various travel guides about South America, Argentina and Uruguay and also researched what I could online, I decided on this hotel for our group of 9 people. From the initial... more

Our group of 31 people stayed at the Hotel Fuerte which is in the old town in Montevideo. This is a great location, alot of restaurants, shopping, etc close by. This hotel's architecture was awesome and the staff friendly. The breakfast consists of bread, toast, cheese, ham & fruit with cofee, tea & juice, which was adequate. I would definitely... more

The hotel is in need of a refurbishment. It's not filthy but certainly in need of freshening up. There's a bit of a musty smell about the place - maybe old cigarette smoke or damp or both.... We had a jacuzzi in our room but the grout and sealant around it were damaged and mouldy and the bath itself could... more

This is a really interesting place. The building has a great facade and the common areas are quite well done. However, the rooms are in great need of remodeling and deep cleaning. The couch in our room was so lumpy and old we just had to laugh -- it was almost comical. If we ever decide to sell our house,... more
