You have hotel boutique AND hotel boutique. This one has the best of both worlds: the building is and old delicate building near the harbour market and on the most beautiful Plaza Zabala. By night the outside lighting welcomes you greatly. Inside is a BEAUTIFUL old mansion with all the luxury you would expect subtilty melted with the old style of the building. Really a gem out of what you could imagine. The attention from the people taking care about you is amazing. A PERFECT cozy place to stay.

Wonderfully appointed and styled rooms. Amazing views from the rooftop jacuzzi area. A perfect location to go out to explore. The breakfast has ample options, and the staff are wonderfully friendly.

What a fantastic stay, the breakfast included is delicious. As a solo female traveler I felt safe and within walking distance to many great restaurants

This unique hotel right in the city centre of Montevideo is beautiful and the location is the best part of it. Each room is uniquely decorated and inspired by someone local either an artist or writer or historical figure, with their info in the room as well as art or artifacts. The suite with balcony is my favourite room by far! Rooms are a bit small as it is a historical hotel, but have everything you need and you can walk everywhere especially to shops and restaurants!

Hotel is absolutly magical, with a deep retro feeling. The staff is super polite and social, really grate people. 😉👍

I don’t think I have ever been to a Hotel whose entire staff is so pleasant, helpful and conscientious. Made our visit in Montevideo so much more enjoyable . Howard Z

This is the perfect boutique hotel. Service is excellent (especially Matias) and the location is great. I loved being in the heart of the historical district. The design is lovely, the rooms are large and well decorated and there is a cool library room where we drank wine and played cards, as well as a rooftop terrace with a jacuzzi. If possible get a superior room, as they’re huge with high ceilings and lots of light. Breakfast was tasty, we had eggs and croissants. It was quiet and we slept really well in the king bed. This is a classy place to stay.

We really had a great time at the hotel. Maria is wonderful and made this day very special for us. The breakfast was fabulous, the other guests were interesting, and the rooms are quite clean.

Very nice Boutique Hotel just across Plaza Zabala. This square is one of the most beautiful in downtown Montevideo, surrounded by XIX Century buildings and a very quiet place. The hotel is a fully refurbished XIX Century house featuring unique services such as taking tea in the afternoon and whisky after the theater or dinner at the library. In summer time at the roof top there is a jacuzzi available with views to the port. Rooms around 160 and 250 $ with breakfast included. Ask for Leonardo. He will guide you to the best.

Alma Historica Hotel @almahistoricahotel @almahistorica probably is one of the best hotels in the old town (Ciudad Vieja). And most likely it's a hotel, where I would stay again if I needed to be in this neighborhood. However, there are existing problems with the housekeeping service and with the management of the hotel. I stay at this hotel many times and honestly nothing changes. They never change bed linens during the stay. The management states on a card placed by the bed that they change the bedsheets every odd day. I have stayed in the hotel for five days and the sheets have never been changed. This morning I especially left the card, which as well informs guest that if they prefer to have the linens changed, then place the card on the pillow, I neatly placed the card on the pillow. However, upon my return in the late afternoon to the hotel, the sheets were not changed with noticeable stains. It was obvious I should inform the hotel manager know about this ignored request. She [the hotel manager] said that the policy of the hotel is that the housekeeper checks how dirty the bedsheets are and decides whether its necessary to change them or not. Meanwhile, she is continuing telling, that regularly the bedsheets are changed after three nights. However, I repeat that for the fifth day of staying in that room the bedsheets never been changed. I try to explain to the manager that what she is saying now contradicts the rules that the hotel declares, which are clear described on the card (see pic). And such important requests of the guests, as the cleanliness of the bed, are ignored. This is nonsense. On provided pictures you can see the sheets with dirty yellow stains and the card which gives hopefulness to the guest that the guest is quality taking care by the boutique hotel. Since I spend time writing this review, I would like to note that for some reason there are not any glasses in the rooms where I stayed, meanwhile there is a mini bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. And there is no laundry services and no laundry bags in the room.

I am glad I found this hotel, it was such a gem. The rooms are gorgeous and clean, plus offer the guests some insight into famous Uruguayan historical figures. The breakfast at the hotel was also excellent, with the food being delicious. And last but not least, the staff at the hotel all were very kind and helpful. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a unique hotel.

Central location, beautiful rooms, helpful staff. Decent breakfast.

A lovely hotel with great access to dining options, shopping, and beautiful public spaces. The staff here are really sincere and dedicated to making your stay memorable. They were very helpful with many aspects and issues. Breakfast was delightful as well.

Set in the old town, financial district. Visited during last weekend of carnival. Place was pretty dead with most shops and restaurants closed. Helpful to be able to park outside the hotel but just two spaces.

Charming hotel In a great location for the old town But other than breakfast there are NO facilities in the Hotel - so not ideal when the local (restaurant and bar) facilities are closed for public holidays Lovely room. But downgraded for plumbing issues that requires multiple interventions

The communal areas are beautiful and elegant and most of the staff are charming helpful.
