Hotel Casablanca Montevideo

The hotel is old and the teachers in the room are old and some of them are broken. The broken things were the door knob, the toilet seat, the bathroom fan, and the condition of the room in general with cracks and peels on walls etc. They have a little they have kitchenette in the lobby where they make a pot of coffee in the morning but there's no coffee in the room. Also one morning there was no more coffee at 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. and I asked the front desk if she can make more and she said no it's too late. The walls are very thin so you can hear every sound in the lobby. One morning a group of tourists from Italy were talking in the lobby at 7:30 a.m. and it sounded like they were yelling because there was so much noise. The quiet hours of at the hotel are between 10:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. but they didn't enforce it with the Italian group to ask please either talk lower or go outside to talk. The only reason that I don't give a lower rating is because it is a cheaper hotel at $44 per night so you expect some things to be lower quality but this was even below the level of the hotel.

The Casablanca Hotel has a very collegial staff who take a lot of pride in the property. The hotel has a dining area with a microwave and an electric kettle that makes breakfast easy, and a spot where you can make a cup of coffee when you want. I was especially impressed with the housekeeping staff. Everyone spoke to this 73 old solo traveler and made me feel welcome. This is a quiet hotel in the middle of everything like fruit vendors, bakeries, and walks to La Rambla de Montevideo, and the Plaza de Independencia. I even was able to take the public bus back and forth to the airport. The Casablanca will be a favorite memory. John from Albuquerque.

Nice and confy room but the flow rate on the shower for the hot water is low and there are stairs to reach the hotel.

Great location and great value for you money
