5/5 Excellent

"we really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It was our first time visiting Montevideo. There were two areas where we spent several hours. The first one was the cafeteria, the attention from the young guys was EXCELLENT! I’m sorry for not including their names but I erased the note where i wrote them. Our favorite desserts were the lemon pie and the alfajor de coco. The second area was the little bar next to the cafeteria, the food and drinks were really good. The area that needs some improvement is the Restaurant Plantado. It wasn’t about the quality of the food that was excellent but the waiters. we stayed at the hotel for 7 nights, and we didn’t like the attention they offered during breakfast, they didn’t smile at us, they looked annoyed most of the time, just doing “their job”, i had written a previous review where i mentioned this matter and still think the same, if the hotel got new waiters with better attitude, as the guys that work at the cafeteria, your hotel will get the highest rates."

"As every ither visit, Dazzler offered exactly what I need. Despite plenty of new options, it will be hard to move me away from there. And as a regular traveler to Montevideo, they will have my business as far as they keep the standards right. Is good to feel remembered and employees calling you by name. Thank guys. Great job again "

"The Hotel is really nice, the staff, the breakfast is ok (you choose what to eat from a menu the day before), you have a car Garage included with the fare, the room is clean the bath is nice, has a little fridge, cable tv, wifi, air conditioning, everything what you need to be comfortable. in the roof top is a nice solarium and a pool, it must be really enjoyable in spring or summer. The Hotel is located near the port, in front to the Mercado del Puerto, a place call Ciudad Vieja (Old City) a nice and tourist Market with restaurants and gifts shops. In the night the area arround the Hotel is not so beauty as it is at daylight. Nothing to complain about the Hotel, the surroundings has many walking streets with restaurants, pubs and other ammenities, but you have to be carefull in the night. Like any other tourist area. We will be back to this Hotel for shure."

"I had a great stay at Montevideo Chic Boutique Hostel! The location was perfect—central and safe, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The room was a good size, comfortable and clean, which made for a relaxing stay. I really appreciated the practical amenities like the washer and clothes line—super handy for longer stays. The staff were all friendly and helpful, always ready with tips or a smile. Overall, a great value and a cozy place to stay in Montevideo. Highly recommen."
