Alma Historica Boutique Hotel

If you’re looking for a small luxury hotel furnished in comfortable turn of the century decor, look no further. This quiet hotel is located on a small square in the old town and is great for travelers looking for a cozy place away from the night life. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet (with eggs to order) is good. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The only downside for me was that all the great restaurants and bars are in another part of town, but that could be good for some who don’t like to stay where the action is. During the day there’s plenty to do around there since it’s in the old town. When you step into the hotel, you feel like you’re stepping into a part of wealthy Uruguayan history.

This excellent hotel is right in the centre of the old centre of Montevideo and the major sights are in easy walking distance. The hotel is a true “Boutique” filled with interesting antiques from the crockery to furniture and furnishings. Each room is decorated differently and inspired by someone local, either an artist or writer or historical figure. In our room there was a description of the actress as well as relevant artefacts. Rooms are a bit small as it is a historical hotel, but have everything you need and a fabulous shower! The breakfast buffet looks delightful and was very high quality, we did not try the cooked eggs but those we saw looked excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. Shops and restaurants are nearby as is the long seaside promenade. A really comfy, lovely and peaceful oasis in Montevideo.

The Alma Historica was a great place to stay in the Montevideo old town. Rooms were very comfortable and the breakfasts were excellent. Great rooftop area with a hot tub (which we didn't use) All the staff were very friendly and helpful, organising taxis from and to the airport. The port market area is a short walk away offering loads of restaurants serving superb Uruguay beef dishes. |Highly recommend a stay here.

We were here over New Year’s Eve. The hotel contacted us ahead of time to let us know dinner reservations could be difficult to find New Year’s Eve and also transportation is limited. They presented us with several options and when we made our choice they made the reservation for us. We really appreciated the heads’ up. The hotel is beautifully restored and the staff were very friendly and attentive.

We enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the old city and a close walk to the Ramblas. The hotel itself is charming and our room was very spacious. A rooftop deck with a jacuzzi was a nice treat. The breakfast was great and the staff friendly and helpful.

Small boutique hotel in the Casco Viejo part of Montevideo. Convenient for the Buquebus terminal which is less than 10 mins walk away. The hotel is in a lovely, old building that had been beautifully restored. Friendly staff and a fantastic breakfast. Pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper as the windows are not the best so you do hear some noise from the square opposite.

My wife, Lynn, and I stayed at this charming boutique hotel, because we wanted to be in the “old town”, and are so glad we did. From the moment we walked in the door and were greeted by Enmanuel, we were treated like special guests. We were shown to the Dona Juana room which was beautiful and had a nice terrace with a view of the square. Later that day Roxana helped us navigate the area. Both Enmanuel and Roxana gave us excellent restaurant suggestions. Breakfast was personalized to our wishes and served in the lovely dining room. The entire stay was perfect especially because of the amazing treatment we received from the staff. I highly recommend Alma Historica Boutique Hotel when in Montevideo.

Delightful oasis in Montevideo's Old Town, which we didn't like that much, to be honest. The hotel was without doubt the best thing about the area. Excellent breakfast.
