“Old and worn out”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

Without doubt the worst hotel we have experienced in the last decade of world travel. Although clean, it was essentially old and worn out. Our room was 1960s or 70s vintage with nothing updated or even replaced since that time (including the bed and bedspread). It reminded us of eastern European hotels in former communist countries, except they were low... More

“1 1/2 blocks to Brava beach”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

Best thing about the hotel is the location. 300 meters to the beach and 1 block to the bus terminal. The price was the best for similar hotels for the middle of January. The staff were great. When I put my head out the window I could see the ocean.

“Old, ugly and un-accommodating staff”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2012

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The hotel is probably renovated in the midt 70's and nobody has done anything since. We guess that not even the towels have been changed since, as big spots were missing the towel cloth (have a look at the photos) Carpets are full of holes, and tiles in the bathroom are missing,...

“Dirty and dreadful hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2011

Dirty, old, smelly and torned carpets. I´m never coming back! The only upside is the location, it´s really close from the mansa and the brava, from the bus station and the city center.

“Excellent location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 9, 2011

I booked this hotel through booking.com. It is ideally located, half a block away from Gorlero Avenue and only one block away from the bus station. Both beaches - Mansa and Brava - within walking distance. Considering the high prices of accommodation in Punta del Este, Shelton hotel is a good option. The hotel is in an old building (built...

I then requested them to book me in for specific dates to which they replied they would require my credit card details and one nights lodging as deposit to which I provided.

“Amazing Location, Bad Rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2011

I booked a room at the hotel since I'd read good reviews about it here. The location was, in fact, amazing, perfect. You could walk your way around the whole city from there. It was just a street behind the bus station, with both beaches, Mansa and Brava, within a 2-3 minute walking distance. However... the rooms were not that... More
