Staff was nice enough but place was smelly and run down with bad music coming through the wall from the neighbor. The market next door was only for barbecue restaurants and tourist items. Not an actual market. We left after one night ASAP. The area has potential to come back to life some day and it really should since it is full of historic jewels that have been neglected.

Very dark room, many missing bulbs, peeling wallpaper. But overall great service and friendly staff. The bed was comfortable and everything was nice & clean

Had a great stay for the price! Complimentary breakfast was really nice and the staff were all very friendly. Helped us get a SIM card set up and get bikes rented for a ride around Montevideo. Location is great - right in old town Montevideo and right next to Mercado del Puerto - a must see! There was no rooftop bar as advertised, but I'm thinking this might be because of us being there in the offseason.

It is conveniently located within walking distance to the ferry station.

Lovely hotel in the best area in the old town. Next to the food market. Staff is lovely and very friendly.

Four blocks to Buquebus. Insecure, difficult to find a place to dine and the lack of snack service

Incredible little boutique hotel just in the heart at the old city. Everything is walking distance. Staff is amazingly friendly and helpful at all times. I truly recommend this hotel…my stay was amazing!

This was one of the most horrifying hotel experiences I've ever had. I am a very frequent traveler. When returning one evening around 11pm, my key did not work. I went to the front desk and the clerk could not open the door. He said he needed a locksmith to open it. Thats just crazy. Then to make matters worse, the hotel did not have another room to transfer us to for the night so we could sleep. We ended up waiting in the lobby for about 3 hours while the clerk prepared a dirty room for us. Mind you, I did not have access to my medicine, clothes, phone chargers, etc. To make matters worse from there, this room was totally fithly and just smelled like he sprayed lysol everywhere. The next morning I woke up with a rash. We got access to the old room, with our phones dead, hardly getting any sleep because of the smell. The hotel then says they could not process a refund and that I had to PHYSICALLY go to a Western Union. Just insane. Calling my credit card company immediately. While we were waiting for the room, we heard 4 gunshots outside. Neighborhood is sketch, hotel is a complete nightmare. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT stay here.

Likes: Comfortable bed, nice shower The owner drive us into the city for dinner because we were scared and nervous to walk. We took a cab back and the cabbie warned us not to walk out at night at all. Dislikes: The area is full of homeless, drug addicts. There was no window, which is probably a blessing because we didn't want to see the outside. We only stayed one night and went to another hotel. If you are women traveling alone, do NOT stay at this hotel.

It might have been cute and charming once upon a time, but staying there was a mistake. The hotel is seriously worn out. I mean towels with holes, old airconditioning not anymore up to the task of cooling and very noisy, pool with many tiles missing and so on. This is also the first hotel I have ever been that asks you to sign a paper that they will charge you USD 10,00 for very time/day you consume/drink something in your room, unless it is from the poorly stocked and very expensive minibar. Although they advertise "Home Made" breakfast, nothing is really home made and average quality. Worst is the open air concert venue right across the small street. From our room we could look right into it. As we stayed there during Carnival, we had a weekend with three events and another weekend with 5 events that lasted till the wee hours. And then a rock concert in the middle of the week. Noise reached up to 63-65 decibels inside the room. Obviously sleeping was impossible. We had a room at the front of the hotel, and at our request they moved us to the back of the hotel in a much smaller room, but the sound reflection was still way to strong. We requested for a room in another hotel of the same company that was away from the noise, but that was refused. At the end we left the hotel and booked another. We were not re-imbursed for those nights lost. Horrible experience and we will never ever return.

It's a great hotel but needs some tidying up - refinish the wood floors, my AC dripped so badly they moved my room, my friend's electricity went out, etc. All was handled well but I would simply say the hotel needs a bit of clean up.

We had a good stay overall at the Don Boutique Hotel. It's located very conveniently next to the port and in the old city, so you can walk to/from the ferry, as well as easily explore the old city and reach the main plazas by foot. Beware of the hair dryer - I didn't notice that it didn't have the back piece to cover the motor at first, so it took out a few chunks of my hair!

Disappointed, would have not stayed here. I wasn't very pleased with my stay, the refrigerator wasn't working, and to use a microwave I would have needed to go to their restaurant across the street to do that. Plus the area wasn't that great, if I had known what I know now, I would have chose to stay in Pocitos / Las Ramblas, a more modern and gorgeous rather than this hotel that wasn't really worth my money. My disappointment also lies in how their service was. Left some beautiful earrings that I got from Bolivia behind and offered to pay back the shipping to the US, instead they quote me $160 for 2 day shipping. I asked how much it cost for regular packet mail and no response. Customer service? Forget about it, once you're off the premise, they won't care. Very disappointed that they wouldn't go the extra mile.

Excellent small hotel located in the old town. The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. Rooms are updated, clean, and comfortable. I would use the hotels airport pickup service. The cabs allowed at the airport are a scam and a different company than you will find all over the city. They do use a meter but the price was $100usd. Hotel offers the service for $50. Would have used their service if I had known.

From the second day to our last day we did not enjoyed this hotel experience. Broken shower, smelly rooms and ordinary breakfast and service. Plus noisy at night due to barking dogs. I booked 8 nights and left a day earlier cause we could not stand the room smell of BBQ meat smell all day long inside and outside the room. noice of barking dogs. and the ordinary breakfast which left you wondering if I should have paid for it in the first place. Service was average at reception at best. Not the only one that complaint about shower issues either. Would not stay there again.
