We spent one night at the Balmoral Plaza Hotel and all I have to say is that it is completely overpriced for the dark outdated rooms you get that eventhough non smoking smell of smoke. The mini bar contained 4 bottels of water and a Twix!! that was it. For 60 U.S. dollars off seaon it was a rip off. more

Absolutely wonderful, period. Cable, clean, FREE INTERNET, a staff that speaks better English than Argentine hotel staffs in the better parts of Buenos Aires. The rates are amazing: I paid $34 a night and had a 9th floor room overlooking the plaza....Montevideo has limited appeal itself, the better parts seem to lie in the suburbs although there is little to... more

The Balmoral was a dreary place, with small rooms. It... more

As mentioned in a prior review, the free internet computer that is located on the main floor is very slow and sometimes would not connect to the internet.... more

This is a very good hotel and is in a great location. The staff (especially the night staff) was very helpful about where to dine and booking tours. The breakfast was excellent. You won't be disappointed in your stay. more

I stayed at the Balmoral Plaza for three nights and had nothing to complain about at all. Although the hotel was very inexpensive, nothing about it appeared cheap. It was basically a South American business hotel. Although not luxurious or charming, my room was clean, comfortable, bright and in good condition. I had a great view of the city. The... more
