The bed had two mattresses insted a big one that culd fit the bed frame, this was very uncomfortable. The pool was dirty in som areas, specifically at the entrance where you could see the dust. When we got to the room it was also dirty, like they haven't vacuumed the place correctly. There were hairballs.

The pool temperature was ok, as well as the hidromassage space. The breackfast was good, with plenty options. I would suggest including some scrambled eggs or something like that (there was a lot of floured based food). Location is the best, centric and beautiful.

Great location

In high summer room is noisy until very late due to motorcycles along the road at beach.

Great location. Historically interesting.

We had 3 beds, 2 were fine, but one has bend in the middle and very hard mattress. Did not have a hair dryer in the room. The breakfast did not have anything warm ( scramble egs, hot cakes, sausage...).

We loved the location, and the fact that our room had a key to an outside door directly to the beach. The sweet breads of the breakfast were great, and the coffeee too. Friendly staff, and clean breakfast room. The antique and preservation of the building is beautiful.

I just wish there was an elevator for all of those stairs. People with mobility issues will have problems.

The location is perfect. You can walk everywhere and the view of the ocean is stunning.

I could hardly sit on the toilet or get up from it. The air in the room was unpleasant and there was no real way to get fresh air into it. The breakfast starts very late (8:00 a.m.) and they won't let you start even a minute early. When we arrived one person at the reception was not doing anything and the other was busy on the phone, so we waited for quite a while unnecessarily. Unlike the other staff these ladies did not come across as service oriented.

ambiente of building but not of the room, the breakfast, the locations and the relative quiet,

Stayed in March 2024

No egg station for breakfast.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely lounge to sit and watch the world go by. Nice outdoor terrace. Indoor pool for when it rains. Nice location for beach and restaurants, however if you cross the road, turn left and walk along promenade you will come to a fantastic restaurant Drakar (10 min walk).

The rooms need to have outlets for phones and other equipment. We had to unplug the bedside lamps (crawl under the bed) to plug our cellphones.

The location is perfect, the hotel has class and style. The rooms were ok.

Stayed in February 2024

Rather small room; some street noise facing esplanade.

Character hotel with modern upgrades; sea view from our room; friendly and efficient staff, arranged early breakfast before departure.

Stayed in December 2023

The room we had was quite small, however there was a balcony which was nice. The check out time of 10am isn’t my favourite thing ever, so beware of this if you like a lie in.

The location is great for a night or two in Piriapolis. The hotel itself is an old building with lots of character and an underground pool. The breakfast is adequate but has a lovely view of the marina on a good day. The staff were very friendly when we stayed.

The internet dropped frequently and lacked consistency and strength, which affected phone calls using Whatsapp. The hotel shows signs of wear and tear but the quaintness and location compensate. Breakfast could use some variety.

Heated pool, although the temperature varied somewhat. The hotel's value lies in its age/history and charm. This has to be weighed against the better functionality of more modern hotels.

A bit dated and rundown.

The location was very central and convenient. The staff was very pleasant and helpful

Swimming pool water was a little bit muddy, but temperature was comfortable

Personal was very friendly. Breakfast was very good. Hotel location is excellent.

It was in a perfect spot in town. The stuff was polite and helpful. The breakfast was big. Room was nice and I had access in the pool that was nice and relaxing.

Stayed in March 2023

The breakfast was generous and delicious. The pool was wonderful (water at around 30 degrees, just warm enough). The heating was on at the whole property (including a very nice lounge with a view to the beach and a working fireplace next to the lobby). The room was somewhat small, but acceptable for the rate and understandable since this is a historical building. Lots of art and original architecture/décor details around the building. Attentive staff.

Other than the historical facade, the property was obviously declining and in need of significant restoration and rehabilitation. Perhaps this financial position is beyond the current owners, but the need is obvious. From decoration to linen, from furniture to plumbing, it is outdated and ageing beyond any "historical" excuse; it is a one star property living on its good looks. And, for guests with any mobility issues, it is hopeless. We checked out after two days, forfeiting two further nights. The room we had been assigned was extremely difficult to access (for me) due to the stairs, and the only other option was a curious room than opened directly onto the main street and had security bars that looked much like prison bars. Not inviting at all. And so; I would not book the hotel again. I like old properties, but not at the expense of comfort. The rooms were tiny - this we knew - but it seemed as if they wanted to fill them with the maximum amount of furniture possible leaving little space to manoeuvre. The bathroom was clean, but so filled with bits and pieces that there was little room for our toothpaste. Clearly there had been no professional consultation of "how to maximise the space in a tiny hotel room" before decisions were made. It is a pity. The property is historical, iconic and should be a jewel in Piriapolis' crown. Instead it is a tired old hotel, living on its former glories. A pity.

The property's historical pedigree and unusual facade intrigued us and were the primary factors in booking (and prepaying) a four night stay in the high season. It is a beautiful looking hotel, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming.

Someone went into our room and when we asked to get a refund they said they are not responsible for anything.

Nothing.

Nothing to dislike

Historic building with great location. Has all the basics covered. Breakfast with many options and friendly staff. The indoor pool is a bonus especially in cold days!

Room was very tiny and washroom too, but I had already seen it on the pictures before booking so no surprises there.

Great location, good breakfast
