Smart Hotel Montevideo

Fabulous location in the border of the Business district and downtown, surrounded by restaurants, museums, cinemas, etc. Staff is always helpful and available. Breakfast is very good. On-site restaurant as well, including local Uruguayan specialties. I booked a loft, which is a corner room. Very spacious, airy and lots of light, with views to Palacio Salvo and the river (11th flor)

Although the hotel location is excellent, unfortunately, at the corner across the hotel is the 'base camp' of a group of drug addicts (three to five) that make noise every night - screams, fights, etc. Also, 50 meters from the hotel there is bar that even lay tables on the side walk and play live music (and not live music) with all doors and windows open. To make a long story short... loud noise starts around 23hrs non-stop 'till around 5am. The hotel windows are not noise proofed (no double nor triple-glazed) hence we could not sleep during the three nights we stayed in this hotel.
