Hyatt Centric Montevideo

Lovely hotel in a good location opposite the waterfront. Room was large with a big comfortable bed. Lots of space with a lounge & table. Big bathroom with a large walk in shower. There is a seperate room with the toilet. The decor through is colourful & modern. The hotel looks very well maintained. Staff during my stay were helpful & friendly. There is a big TV with a large selection of channels. There are a couple of English news stations plus a bunch of HBO stations also in English. Wifi is good throughout the hotel. There is a good size gym with an indoor swimming pool. There is an excellent breakfast with a good selection of hot and cold dishes. The only downside as a tourist is that the old town & main sites are not in walking distance so you will need to rely on taxis / uber to get around.

We recently stayed at the Hyatt Centric in Montevideo, and while there were definitely some highlights, our overall experience left us feeling underwhelmed. Let’s start with the positives. The location is absolutely unbeatable—steps from the Rambla and within walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and the river. The lobby is gorgeous, modern, and inviting—exactly what you’d hope for when arriving at a Hyatt-branded property. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, and we genuinely appreciated their professionalism… with the exception of one male bartender whose attitude could use a little polishing. Now for the not-so-great parts. The room itself felt small and cramped, which was manageable—but the cleanliness (or lack thereof) was disappointing. The bathroom wasn’t thoroughly cleaned, and the overall condition of the room didn’t reflect the standards we’ve come to expect from Hyatt. We were surprised that the room didn’t have an iron or ironing board—a small thing, but worth noting for travelers who like to look halfway put-together. Honestly, if the room had been cleaner and a bit more thoughtfully maintained, we might have looked past the other details. But given the price point, we expected more. Would we return? Probably not—unless the rate was significantly lower and we had some kind of assurance that the rooms were better maintained. It’s a shame, really. This hotel has all the makings of a great stay, but unfortunately, the rooms just didn’t deliver.

Amazingly comfy bed, good size room and perfect location for the beach and a morning swim. Cocktails were great too. Breakfast was plentiful but I’m used to English style, so would have like better bacon. Staff were very helpful and gave plenty of advice on where to go.

Best service in the world. Marcia helpt us out in planing or day trips also was so helpful with directions and ideas. The rooms where super clean and comfortable beds. Location is the best very safe neighborhood. We walked late night on the boardwalk no problem safer than anywhere in the world.

Beautiful property with nice view of beach and promenade. Recognized globalist status and upgraded to a very nice suite. Fantastic variety at breakfast. Excellent gym and very relaxing indoor pool area. Staff professional and responsive.
