Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Bad location, quite rough. The room is nice, but too many windows, making it cold and extremely noisy. On Fridays and Saturdays, there are drums until 3am, and drunk people screaming until 6am, making it impossible to sleep. The people at the reception couldn't even be bothered to talk. A Chinese guest was watching extremely loud "funny" videos during breakfast, I asked a member of staff to speak to the guest, and they refused it. Were were going to leave our luggage there and pick it up later, but we didn't feel like they were people of trust.

Superb hotel with terrific customer service

Smart Hotel offers some of the best amenities and services that I have experienced in my travels. The king-sized bed was quite comfortable. Rooms have a small refrigerator and sink, and there is plenty of closet space (plus a strong box so you can lock up your passport, laptop, etc.) The hotel is centrally located in Montevideo’s historical downtown, with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance to enjoy). Most importantly, Smart Hotel has a very professional and efficient staff, from the managers to the lobby attendants to the restaurant and cleaning staff. I highly recommend this hotel. In fact, I’m headed back there in early April.

Location in run down area but close to Independence Plaza where bus services stop. The room we had was on the 10th floor and suffered from the noise the lifts make at all hours. We were offered a room change but couldn't face packing and unpacking again. Staff were helpful and friendly. I asked for a bill and it was emailed to me. I couldn't view one of the files and the one I could read was simply a sum total and no breakdown therefore not much use. The bed was comfortable but not so the pillows. One very soft the other hard...
