Hotel Cottage Puerto Buceo — Hotel in Montevideo

A small hotel with a big heart. The staff are lovely and generous. A special shout out to Federico who shared one of his own books on Montevideo with me and Sebastian with the sweet disposition (both at reception). Loved the mid century modern flourishes throughout the property. Also thanks to the restaurant staff who went to great lengths to accommodate my meal requests and always cooked up lovely, stylish, and flavorful dishes. I felt so coddled and look after by the hotel and its personal touch. For the price, it's an awesome find. Hotel staff were so helpful in assisting me to plan my days and provide advice on getting around the city.||In terms of areas for improvement, the rooms are a bit small (nothing you can really do about this one) but make up for it with style and comfort. The housekeeping was a bit uneven and I was never quite sure what would be cleaned that day. I've noticed this as a problem at many hotels during and immediately after the pandemica and I suspect is due to staffing challenges leftover from the pandemic. Therefore I imagine it's an issue that will sort itself out as the pandemic recedes into the rearview. This was nothing alarming, BTW, but a slight area for improvement. Also, there was one receptionist who needs to do a slightly better job hiding his annoyance at dealing with non-Spanish speakers.||Would definitely...

Small hotel with attentive staff and excellent amenities. There are two floors of rooms for guests, and the ground floor has areas for dining, lounge, and the lobby, the underground level is the pool and private garage, plus there is a beautiful terrace. The staff was accommodating and responsive. They have a talented pastry chef, everything is baked fresh everyday, so please do stay for an afternoon tea or enjoy the breakfast with many pastry options. The rooms are not the most spacious, but there is plenty of shelving to unpack and make yourself comfortable. It is true as some reviews mentioned that the water drainage sometimes have ants or gnats coming through, but it didn't bother me much since a quick flush of hot water effectively killed everything, and I only encountered it for 1 out of the 15 days there. The private garage with free parking is a big plus. The location is also very convenient, right off of the Rambla, within walking distance to the World Trade Center towers, shopping malls, restaurants, and markets. The streets is usually quiet unless you happen to drive there around 4 PM when school is out. Overall a very good...

This hotel really goes above and beyond to welcome you. All the staff are so friendly, helpful and kind. They can’t do enough for you. It’s stylish, has really comfortable rooms, great shower and bathroom. It has everything you need. Delicious breakfast selection with homemade fresh cakes every day.|It’s a bit out of the centre, but very easy to walk in or get an Uber. There’s some great places to eat nearby, we went to El Tio which is an amazing restaurant in someone’s garden, a 10 minute walk.| We hired bikes one day and the hotel organised this for us. Everything was seamless. Really gorgeous roof terrace with nice sofas and some shade for when it’s hot. Bar staff happy to bring food and drinks up to us at anytime. Such great value for a really great experience. It made our first trip to Montevideo...
