Liked: The double room was extremely spacious with a large bathrrom. Staff were friendly and helpful. For £30 a night you can't get better value.

Disliked: Due to the location near the old town, it wasn't very safe to walk round of an evening.

03 February 2012 Stephen would recommend this property

Liked: The building is an old colonial estabishment, with a lovely marble staircase and cage lift! The furnishing in the bedroom dates back to the 1920s and is totally charming. The hotel is spotlessly clean, centrally situated and has a unique old-world ambience.

Disliked: Nothing

28 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hotel is very clean and well decorated and well cared for. The staff are so friendly and helpful. It has a great character with nice original features such as the old lift and windows with shutters. The location couldn´t be better - on a small street but very close to the central plaza. The bathroom and shower were lovely, and the hotel felt very secure, I would really reccomend a stay in this hotel.

Disliked: It is not great it you want to meet people, as it is a hotel rather than a hostel, but it is excellent value for money if you wnt a nice shower, a comfortable bed and a clean room and a bit of quiet!

27 April 2011 Ray would recommend this property

Liked: Very clean - it had achieved an award from hostelbooker for cleanliness. Staff very helpful. Great location, just off the two main squares. Very quiet and traditional. Great value for money.

Disliked: suspect it would not be suitable for those looking for a really lively or fun/social atmosphere.

16 April 2011 Daniel would recommend this property

Liked: The Hotel Palacio is an absolute gem! Perfect location, atmospheric, period furniture, clean, super friendly staff (can I just say the Uruguayans are the nicest people on the planet and I am not a people person), great price. You can´t beat this one! I loved everything about it and plan on staying there again at the end of my trip. Stay here, you will not be disappointed... If you are sensitive to noise, however, get a room in the back (you can still get a balcony), particularly on weekends as the locals party all night long. This is not a party hostel (for one thing it´s a hotel), extrovert twenty somethings would probably hate it, which is fine by the rest of us. If you like good visuals and character and faded charm, this is your place.

Disliked: Nothing. I´d like to live there....

16 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's in a superb location, just of Independencia Plaza. You can walk to pretty much everything you want to see in Montevideo and the bus station is only a short local bus ride away, and the bus stops are very close to the hotel. The rooms are pretty big and very clean, as was the ensuite bathroom. Our room even had a little fridge and balcony. The lift in the hotel is beautiful and the staff were extremely helpful, even though our Spanish wasn't great. There was free wifi that worked in our room (third floor). I would totally recommend the Palacio Hotel to anyone who wanted a quiet place to relax for a bit. We loved it.

Disliked: Nothing.

11 April 2011

Liked: That it was in the heart of the area visited. That if you are weak in Spanish, this stay will make you learn to speak the language.

Disliked: When coming in late at night because of the partying of young people on a Saturday night / Sunday morning, taxi drivers are not able to take you directly to the hotel.

26 March 2011 Mads would recommend this property

Liked: Very, very friendly staff and clean rooms. Very good location.

Disliked: The hotel descibed their rooms as spacious on the web page, but we had a very small, cramped and a bit gloomy room.
