Montevideo Hotels in Centro, Cordón

Die Lage und die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Bei 4 Übernachtungen konnte nicht der Fernseher im Zimmer aufgrund des fehlendes Signals genutzt werden, trotz Reklamation. Mein Doppelzimmer befand sich in der 6. Etage. Ab der 2. Etage konnte man das W-Lan des Hotels nicht mehr nutzen. Vier Tage lang wurden in meinem Zimmer die benutzten Wassergläser nicht gesäubert oder gewechselt. Die Toilettenbrille war defekt und der Wasserdruck zu jeder Tag- und Nachtzeit war unbefriedigend. Das Frühstücksbuffet entspricht nicht den Bildern auf der Homepage.

There was nothing that I liked about my stay at the Hotel Lancaster. The hotel is dirty and seedy. In the dead of winter the heat did not work.A staff person could not help nor were there free-standing heating units that could be brought to my room. The phone in the room was completely dead and flithy. The bathroom sink was loose and coming off the wall. The hotel is understaffed and clearly no care goes in to maintaining the facility.

Good location, reasonable facilities including fridge and free use of internet computer. If you ignore the awful front desk service, it is good value. Front desk service was dreadful. I arrived on time but was asked to wait. Over the course of an hour I had to ask three different people what the cause of delay was. Each time I had to give my name. One of the staff just went home during this time. An elderly gentleman trying to change his room said the hotel was worse than anything he'd experienced in World War 2. He was exaggerating... After all this I was surprised tha the room was quite acceptable.

Central location ideal, 12th floor room afforded good view over the Montevideo skyline, reception staff helpful to book evening entertainment. The state of cleanliness left a lot to be desired. When we arrived (late afternoon), the bathroom had not been cleaned, rubbish not emptied and empty crisp packets/coke cans were left on the side from the previous occupants. The porter tried to surreptitiously remove the aforesaid items while we set our luggage down, but it didn't go unnoticed!

The quietness. Not so noisy with all the traffic.

The staff was helpful with one of the quesitons that I had for them. The room was not heated and it dropped into the 20s in Montevideo. The hotel had hot water for about five minutes so although my companion could get a shower, I could not. The sheets were stained and so old they were beginning to decay, as was not only the pillow case but the pillow itself. It was expensive ($32) for location and what one receives.
