Mercure Montevideo Punta Carretas — Hotel in Montevideo

We had such an amazing experience in Mercure Punta Carretas I really needed to share! We were supposed to stay in the hotel during our 2024 vacations, but, since we had a problem with getting in the flight to Montevideo we had to postpone the trip for some time. The hotel's manager was very understanding of our issue and we could get hosted in the hotel recently in March this year.

We were a little bit anxious because it was our very first international trip with our 1.5 year old son, but the hotel staff made us feel in home and welcome everytime. Breakfast was amazing and baby Tom definitely enjoyed a lot having variety of fruits and his daily "huevos con bacon" in the morning 😋 The hotel location is amazing, just next to the Rambla and the Punta Carretas mall. Since the hotel does not have a built-in restaurant or such we decided to purchase food from the market to heat up in the hotel. It was just fine proceeding this way through the trip and we still saved a lot of money in the process 💰

Staying 4-5 days in Mercure should be enough to get to know Montevideo for the first time since it is kinda close to several of the touristic points in the city.

We are definitely coming back to Montevideo once our dulce de leche are over and Mercure is our first choice when the time...

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...
