Reviews of Mérit Montevideo Apart & Suites 3 stars

Two gentleman at the desk who work during the day could not have been nicer or more helpful. So thank you!

One younger staff member working in the late afternoon/evening was extremely rude upon our departure. The main door was locked with a sign saying "Back in 5 mins," but we were left waiting for at least ten. As a result, I missed a prepaid taxi (500 UYU). When I questioned him upon his return and raised a valid concern — what if there had been a fire? — he told me to "calm down and show respect," with no apology or explanation. His attitude was completely unacceptable and ruined the end of our stay.

The front staff at the reception was terrific, very friendly and attentive. It was great to have daily room cleaning if we wanted. Cleaners were lovely. The bed was very comfortable in this bachelor style suite (not a true separate bedroom). The location was excellent as it is close to the beach, the best bakery (Wild), and easy access to busses. The area is very walkable and felt safe. Having the bikes to borrow was a bonus, with helmets and locks available too. We loved riding the Rambla!

As a long stay, we found the kitchenette with its basic utensils, small frying pan and a single small pot very limiting. The staff kindly found us a large knife, when we asked, which was very useful. It would have been nice to be able to cook a full dinner. There was also nowhere to comfortably eat a meal as there is no table other than the desk, and only one chair. The two bar stools at the kitchen counter are not that functional as there is nowhere to put your legs. Adding a pull up table from under the counter would rectify this easily. The bathroom is very small and someone with mobility issues might have difficulties managing.

Everything

Nothing

My prefered place to stay over in MVD.

We love the apartment in general and we loved how close it was to the beach.

One of the staff members was incredibly rude. He hated life and he hated everyone he had to talk to. Also, if you're planning on cooking, you might want to think about a different place. They didn't have sharp knives and were missing a lot of other kitchen, utilities. Basically you can boil water and microwave something but we wanted to chop vegetables and they looked at us like we were stupid when we asked for a knife that would cut vegetables.

Spacious living room. Big balcony. Great view.

Kitchen equipment/crockery was a marginal. Bathroom was small.

The position, sheets, shampoo, air con.

It would be nice to have some bottles of water upon arrival
