The location is good and it's a charming building inside. The rooms are colorful and pleasantly decorated. Do keep in mind there are winding staircases to get to the rooms. It could be two if you're on the upper floor.
Bathrooms were problematic--they were having problems with the water heater and on our last day we were partly without water. Hopefully fixed by now. There is someone at the reception desk only from 8 lam to 2 pm. The rest of the time you're on your own. It was fine for a two-night stay
Beautifully restored building in the old city. Place is in immaculate condition. Super friendly staff. Very convenient - lots of restaurants, cafes, bars steps away and only about a 15 min walk from the ferry terminal.
Note - as it’s an old building, there is no elevator for those who may like to travel with more luggage or have mobility issues.
Warm, inviting place with great mid-century modern charm. Very friendly and helpful staff. Super clean. Best value in Montevideo’s Cuidad Vieja and beyond by far. I would stay there again without hesitation.

Nancy was wonderful! Great communication on arrival. Clean well decorated rooms and public areas. Location was central to old town and 5 min walk to the ferry doc.
Excellent experience! Warm welcoming, beautiful and charming hotel with comfortable and quiet rooms, well located in old Montevideo, next to the port. Geronimo was very helpful in fixing our car rental problem. Highly recommended!
Beautiful hotel! Just in the heart of the old city in Montevideo!
Super clean, really good beds, very comfortable, the staff really friendly and very educated, they offer some fruit and other things as snacks, we particularly enjoyed the shots of Grappamiel that they keep available for guests.
The place is a really well kept antique colonial house, the furnite, the deco and the environment are just delightful, you almost don't want to go out of it and stay just there all the time!
We slept super good there!
Room was great!!!! Beautiful place to stay, Jeronimo is the best!!! He’s kind and very helpful!!!
Excellent !!!!!

The staff were very helpful and friendly, including Nancy who checked me in. The hotel has a great vibe, comfortable space near the front desk to relax and read, and have a complimentary whiskey. The shower had great water pressure and nice, hot water. WiFi was good, tv had complimentary Netflix if that’s your thing. Good location if you want to stay in Ciudad Vieja; right near the crossroads of the two main pedestrian-only streets with lots of cafes within a five minute walk (or less). The cafe right across the street has good espresso and medialunas as well. I would definitely stay again.
The hotel is in a great location. The owners and staff were all very friendly and helpful with all questions and suggestions. We would absolutely come here again.
A gorgeous, jaw dropping hotel! The area around the hotel is very busy and honestly, somewhat unkept. We expected a little more out of this section of Montevideo. Still, it is very easy to access the BUQUE BUS terminal and the main bus terminal from here. The hotel itself is gorgeous and in stunning condition, with amazing, friendly staff. Again, we were disappointed with the area surrounding the hotel, but that is on us. The hotel itself is absolutely impeccable.
My favorite hotel in the Old City‼️
The hotel is beautifully renovated and so comfortable, clean and well located.
Jeronimo and Eduardo were so kind and helpful to make my stay amazing. I can’t wait to return in a few months!
The place is hidden from the street easy to walk past quiet but in a great location in La Ciudad Vieja. The owner is a fantastic person we were extremely comfortable there. Too many great places to eat
This hotel is lovely! The check-in was easy, the room was beautiful, and it had lots of nice amenities. I wish we could have stayed more than one night. The neighborhood had several places to eat within walking distance and the ocean is a block or so away.
Fauna was a delightful place to stay in Montevideo. It is an easy walk from the boat to Fauna, and Geronimo is super-friendly and helpful. The living room is very comfortable, and we enjoyed coffee there in the morning and after-dinner drinks there before we went to bed. The old city is charming, and Geronimo had excellent suggestions about where to go to eat.
