メルキュール モンテビデオ プンタ カレータス(Mercure Montevideo Punta Carretas)

FOI MARAVIHOSA. O ATENDIMENTO FOI RÁPIDO E EFICIENTE

Hotel mercure Montevideo bom e bem localizado . Valeu a experiência .

不人性化。

Firstly, it is unacceptable that this hotel does not have a reserved space on the sidewalk (yellow) to stop the car while unloading luggage. The rooms in the back are too small. The photos correspond to the front ones, which are larger. The size of the beds is small with little space around them. Very hard mattress. Very good attention from the staff, and good breakfast. It seems to me like a modest three-star hotel with the price of a higher category.

The hotel is located right at the waterfront which makes it good for a walk or just chilling outside. There is a mall nearby where you can find all kinds of shops at daytime. In the evening it is more of a quite neighbourhood. The hotel itself has pros and cons. The room is rather small and we didn’t really manage to find enough space for 2 bags. The furniture is very basic and the bathroom could get some repairs. Overall I felt like the room didn’t really match with mercure standards. Personell was overall very kind and helpful. Eventhough we didn’t feel very welcome upon check in when we asked for an early check in and the manager told us to wait for our room to be available if we want one with seaview. He also tried to sell us another night with a „discount“ for the last 4 hours to the check in time which endet up much more expensive than our booking was. After declining his several attempts to sell the breakfast he took our phone number and told us to send a message once the room will be available. Long after the official check in time we had never received any messages but got into our room, which was to the garden and had no sea view at all. Overall I think that was like the worst check in experience and more like a bazaar than a professional hotel. Overall it was ok, compared to a budget stay.

Firstly, this is a budget hotel, and one should make allowances. However the primary criteria we use is that we should get a good nights sleep, with a hot shower without stepping into a bath. Now here’s what went wrong in room 401 facing the sea for four nights. The double glazed windows do not close properly as the catches have been relocated. Therefore the traffic noise is quite audible. The room is of Hong Kong size, small with a king size bed and one chair. The top sheet on the bed is far too small. If you like rubber pillows, then is the place for you - otherwise, tough luck. There is adequate handing space and drawers. The breakfast is the usual continental style, and yes, it has home-made granola as someone else says. There is the option of hot scrambled eggs, but you’ll need to know this as no-one will tell you. By and large, I’d give it a miss, although it is very handy to the Fresh Market supermarket which is one of the best I have ever seen, and the Punta Carreras shopping mall which houses the El Fogon Restaurant, one of the saving graces to our visit.

I regularly visit Montevideo for academic business and Mercure Punta Carretas turned out to be the best accommodation I ever had in the Uruguayan capital. The location almost directly on the shore of the Rio de la Plata is very pleasant, there is a sea food restaurant open until late. The rooms of the Mercure are OK (nothing fancy but there is everything one needs), yet the quality of the stay is nonetheless outstanding. The breakfast buffet is delicious (homemade granola among other), there is a co-working space and a gym on the top floor. The gym is tiny, there is a complete set of dumbbells, a stationary bike and a yoga mat, all of quality but that's it. However, this is enough to throw in a good session while the view on the Plata is breathtaking. Last but not least, cheers to the friendly, helpful and absolutely trustworthy staff! Highly recommended.

Small hotel located across from La Rambla with a great view of Rio de la Plata. It's within walking distance of a shopping mall and restaurants. Staff were pleasant & helpful. Not many spoke English so it's good to know some Spanish. I elected to pay extra for breakfast when I made the reservation. Breakfast is served in the lounge on the ground level; the choices were delightful. I thought breakfast and the room were a great value for the price. I would highly recommend it.
