Hotel La Capilla

The hotel is a two-storey modern building (inaugurated in 2019), located in a very tranquil and safe residential setting, close to Stop # 12 (Playa Brava). It is adjacent to San Rafael Roman Catholic Chapel. I could only spot a small market within walking distance, but except for said store note that if you wish to go to a restaurant or larger stores you should get a car. The hotel is just 500 meters from the beach, where upon showing your hotel card they provide you (free of charge) with a beach umbrella and chairs. And there are beach towels in your room as well.|Everything looked new and spotless, both in my room (212) and in common areas. Just a detail: one of the bed pillows had some hairs in it (still, all bed linen looked new and very clean). Bed was as I like it: firm. |Wi-fi is fast.|My room had a fridge with some edibles and drinks, yet no price was indicated for such items. |The hotel has one elevator, but sometimes I chose to use the two-flight of stairs to do some exercise. |Staff is friendly and helpful. |Breakfast is well-stuffed (watch out if you are on diet!), with diverse types of breads, jam, fruits, pastries and so forth. Some stickers should be glued on the glass sliding doors that give access to the breakfast room in order to avoid people bumping on them. |The hotel has no parking within its premises, yet you can park on the street at no cost. There is plenty of parking outside of the hotel. | In summary, I would not hesitate to return the La Capilla. Well done, guys!

Loved this hotel! Great shower, pool and sauna were amazing although outside part was closed off. Beds were comfortable but the pillows I give a 0. Huge and unusable. Breakfast was awesome. Lots to choose from and fresh. The young guy on reception when we arrived and when we checked out was lifeless on the verge of being plain rude. I give him a minus 10. Basically him and the pillow stopped me giving them 5 stars. Also it’s 40+ mins walk from the bus terminal and the city. A little remote if not driving.

I was travelling with my 86 year’s old father and we loved our stay at La Capilla. The staff were amazing especially Don Carlos at breakfast. We don’t speak Spanish but he understood everything my father and I asked him and was fast and cheery! He was our morning sunshine! We loved the pool and big spa! Great stay in Punta Del Este!

This old and well known hotel had a good reputation many years ago. It is in the area of San Rafael 200mts from a good beach. The rooms are quite small. Good mattress, good size of bathroom and good shower. Service is acceptable. Breakfast and open swimmig pool are separate and about 50mts away for the moment. Good breakfast and very kind service here. At the moment this hotel is unfinished and lacks a lot of things. The USD122 price is excellent for this time of the year, so the relation cost/quality is not to blame. Hope when it is renewed and well managed taht become again a recommendation worth

Rooms are very dated, I felt like I was walking into 1978 when we opened the door. Our queen bed was two mattresses pushed together which kept slipping apart. There was no heat and during their winter (Northern summer) we needed it! Rooms were relatively clean, with what appeared to be a little mold in the ceiling.||||No room service or restaurants, so you are stuck unless you have a car. Pool was not open as it was 15 degrees out. Not much to do in Punta del Este in the winter. If the weather was warm and the beaches were open, I wouldn't have minded the lack-luster room as much.||||Free Internet is sketchy at best. Lots of cable channels. Staff were nice, but not overly friendly. Breakfast - average.||||If you are from Europe or North America, you might be disappointed. But far from the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Would I stay again? It wouldn't be my first choice, but I would if I didn't have a better option. It is close to the beach.

If you come to this hotel make sure you have a car or any mean of transportation. It's a nice and quite area but there are no restaurants, bars or anything at (a reasonable) walking distance. The beach is close, but probably not the one you want to go. Service is inconsistent (some people are great, some you wish not having talked to). The rooms are old, average size, terrible pillows and ugly furniture. They seem to have invested more in the exterrior than the interiors (Everything makes noise: the fridge, the toilet, your neighbor's shower (pipes seem very old). The bathroom was one of the worst parts, seem dirty (even if it wasn't). The internet is blocked (yes, don't try to attempt to check anything "unusual" like match.com, or any profile at msn.com)... ridiculous! you have to write a message anytime you want to check a site that "their intelligent system blocks"... this takes ~24 hours.||||The breakfast has a very limited offer... you could get a complete/good breakfast in town for ~5 USD, so dont take it into account in the price.

This is a great hotel if you're looking to relax, it's very quiet and peaceful. The service is great as well; very friendly staff. The location is perfect, but you must have a vehicle to move around. What I didn't like much was that the rooms are very old fashioned, they don't even have LCD TVs. Also, the parking lot is the street, though it's safe according to them. Breakfast is good but it's pretty basic.

This is a lovely hotel with nice grounds and swimming pool. The staff are very friendly and the rooms and showers are very comfortable. The food was very good ,expecially the mushroom risotto.The breakfast was also nice. What I liked about this hotel was the style as it was like being transported back to another era. The decor was very colonial.l
