SUR Hotel

SUR is located in an older building in an older neighborhood. In Montevideo, the old city is more a description than location. SUR has a hostel feel about it. The hotel met our expectations & suited all our needs. We were boarding the Buquebus ferry to Buenos Aires so the location worked well. A few blocks from the Rambla. The staff was very friendly & helpful. My daughters are fairly fluent Spanish speakers, which was needed. All in all, stay for the price & if you need the location.

The hotel is about 10-min walk to the Independence Plaza. My double-bed room is not big, but fine for a single person. The staff does not speak English, so knowing some basic Spanish would help a lot. The breakfast is not free, and it is not very good according to my friends who ate there. One thing that surprised me is that the front-desk lady recognizes all the customers, as when we walked in, she always had our room key ready. She also called a taxi for us. Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel.

It was a short stay, although that webhad everything we needed. I have already recommended to my son that will travel soon!
