I booked one night on November 8ht relying on the ranking and reviews. Arrived at the front desk and I was told that I didn't have a room because they overbooked! They had my cell number and email and didn't even bother to let me know in advance. As a traveller I reward good service. Plaza Fuerte lacks a lot... More

This hotel is charming. Built in 1912, it has a magnificent interior complete with old ballroom. The rooms are very contemporary. Carpets were stained and I wish they would just remove them but it does make things quieter. We stayed in 2 different rooms The first was a 2 story room which was so spacious. but after many days of... More

We rolled into Montevideo with no idea of where we would stay. Luckily, Hotel Plaza Fuerte was visible, with a room available.... It was an absolutely pleasant surprise! Exhibits the regal, antique charm of Montevideo. With exquisite detail from the tiles, to the iron elevator, to the high ceilings.... The room was beautiful, with modern furnishings. Bathroom well stocked, and... More

What the other reviewers say is true: clean rooms, friendly staff, great downtown location with reasonable rates. But what the staff hides is that there is a disco directly across the street that pumps extremely loud music into the street! Additionally, the patrons of this bar spill out into the street and scream, dance, yell, sing at high decibels until... More

Dear David: Yes, you are right about the disco located beside the hotel. Our staff cannot offer you another room because we were full those nights, but other guests has written reviews about the noise during the weekends. Our company has met with the authorities (Ministry of Tourism and Town Hall) about this problem, due to that disco has not... More

You can't a find a better place in the old city. Staff was very helpful and professional. They mistakenly charged a tour twice and i had a refund processed the same day. Elevator is old school but still cool. Otherwise the hotel looks modern in an old building. Ideal location close to everything and price is great! Nice bar on... More

I travelled to Montevideo with my wife and we stayed at Plaza Fuerte from June 17 to June 20. I don't know other hotels in the city but I'm certain that it is the best place to stay if you want to spend a weekend in Montevideo. Apart from its great location (near to Plaza Independencia, Plaza da Constitucion, Teatro... More

We stayed for two nights here. The Thursday was very comfortable. The hotel has a Parisian feel and a lot of character. Our room was a "compact suite". The bedroom and bathroom, which were on a mezzanine in what had been a high-ceilinged room, were certainly compact. The shower was small and awkward to use. But overall it was very... More

The location just off the old town pedestrianised street was quiet, central and just right, near to everything. We found the receptionist on the first day really helpful and smiley, and quite happy to help us even though we didn't take the room straight away (we actually looked at about 4 other places, and this was the best), and when...

We enjoyed our stay in Plaza Fuerte very much. For our budget (under $80) this hotel was wonderful. The rooms are a bit small, but have high ceilings. The old building is full of charm and the view from the breakfast room is beautiful. We also appreciated that the hotel offered wi-fi. Plaza Fuerte was close to the old part... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Plaza Fuerte. It is in a perfect location in the Ciudad Vieja, close to many restaurants and sites. It was very clean, the rooms were beautifully updated, and we had a great view of the Plaza Independencia. It also offers a continental breakfast on the rooftop terrace, which was great. We would definitely... More
