From the moment you enter Hotel Alvear there is a sense of calmness. The lobby, along with the adjoining dining room is very tastefully done. Sylvia and Roberto, who are on the reception desk, are friendly, outgoing and so very helpful. The room we had was on the 4th floor, and it was clean, comfortable, well appointed and warm. Breakfast is wonderful, with plenty of hot coffee, breakfast sandwiches can be made on a panini appliance and there is sliced ham, cheese,salami, and tomatoes…lot of fresh fruits and juices along with cereal. I would return in a heartbeat!

Nothing to report that I did not like.

The staff at Hotel Alvear is wonderful, and it's located just off the main drag in the business part of town (Centro), so one can walk easily all over the place, especially to the Old City (Ciudad Viejo). The breakfast was excellent with lots of options, all delicious. My room was small but cozy.

I've stayed at quite a few 3-star hotels over the years. They are usually NOT part of a chain and have a friendly, helpful staff, and the accommodations on the small side but extremely comfortable and well-maintained. Plus, their location usually rocks. Hotels Alvear checked off all of those boxes, but the age of the place could be seen especially in the bathroom. My stay worked out just fine, but I was a bit surprised by the wear and tear visible. I would still recommend the hotel, though!

We travel the world on our motorcycle and we are looking for places that provide a good room with a good breakfast in a good location. We rarely stay for a long time as we move on. The hotel has been great for us and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The breakfast is super and the staff always have a smile on their faces. The place isn't about luxury but it's real and it would be tough to find a better location

We have absolutely enjoyed our stay. Don't come here for the view out of the windows from the rear rooms but is that really important? Equally is it really important if it is warm outside that the window doesn't shut properly?

It has a great location, a delicious breakfast, the front desk staff were helpful and kind, a spacious bedroom and comfy bed.

The building was going on through a remodelling (just a temporary condition) so it had a lot of dust and I do understand the situation, nevertheless the cleaning staff could do a better job inside the rooms bcuz the floor was over dust even when we asked for cleaning. The hotel had a small problem with the hot water but it was quickly solved. We stayed at 5° floor and the WI-FI was awful.

This hotel was located in a very good location and there were several restaurants just steps away. The included breakfast was very nice and there was a wide variety of food to accommodate most people. The rooms were nice and clean and the bed was quite comfortable. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and very nice. The decor of the entire hotel, while not elegant, were very pleasing and in very good condition. The best ice cream we’ve ever eaten is just steps away.

Cozy place, nice staff, good location, many restaurants and touristic places nearby, clean, early check-in allowed, breakfast good, room and bed very comfortable.

The room could be bigger, the hotel is a bit old, but they are working to renew it apparently, my bathroom had no light working, and the breakfast could have more fruits and eggs, in general has many sugared options, and few healthy ones.

The staff were super helpful The room was big. The bed was huge and comfy There was a fridge It's fairly close to the main tourist attractions (pl. Independiencia) Due to a flight cancellation we didn't manage to get the full stay and they gave us some of our money back even though it was a non-refundable stay.

The shower was a little old There was some noise when we left the window open during the night

Great hotel in the centre of Montevideo. Clean room and good Wi-Fi connexion. Fantastic breakfast, better than most hotels. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

Hotel located in awful neighbourhood. Room had two small beds put together.

Really nice hotel. I got a room with street view. Breakfast had a lot of choice and the location was great. 10min walk from main square. Fridge in the room.

Nothing

Really nice hotel room, clean and well-equipped. The staff was helpful and friendly, the breakfast was good, and the location is at the main avenue in Montevideo.
