Hotel l'Auberge

So the first thing I should say is it’s winter so out of season. The property is old and quaint as many places are here and some form of landmark, so lots of history and cute. My room was in the main water tower, I’m not sure if that’s the location of all the rooms. Let’s get back to the rooms later. The decor is very traditional throughout with soft music playing, and I’d say romantic and soothing. In winter there was an open fire lit in the main building where you can sit and relax and a lovely grand piano is in view. There are separate buildings joined to the main water tower building in which guests have to enter via exterior courtyard to the rear. The grounds and gardens are well presented and I can imagine how this would come alive in summer. The breakfast was 9/10. A great spread and additional options of cooked eggs and omelettes for example. Exceptional service. The omelette I had was cooked to perfection, almost best on my entire trip. I didn’t experience any other food. The staff are all beautiful and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms I felt were the major let down. They are of unusual size due to the structural columns holding the building up and small. So let’s put that aside and we accept that due to the nostalgia of the building. Windows have been upgraded to double glazed so sound is no issue and the temperature was fine during winter. The wardrobes were old and run down and poor lighting as in so many of these hotels, and very basic fixtures throughout including a pathetic Tv. It’s the only hotel I’ve ever stayed in that has no coffee and tea making facilities. In addition to that I was charged for basic bottled water. The beds were slightly soft but comfortable, I had a good sleep. The shower was over the bath with a curtain and not ideal for me but it was hot and good pressure. Having said all of that it was very clean, no questions there. Red wine selection by the glass was poor to what I like hence me not staying for dinner as a like a glass of red with my meal. I didn’t feel the place was located in a great location if you don’t have a car but it was a peaceful part of town. The Gym was small/ basic and bordering dangerous as run down and from the1980 if I’m honest. I didn’t know what to expect when I booked this place and it was a little disappointing at first but the place grew on me and if you can deal with a small basic room and no gym I think you’ll be happy. I think an upgrade of the rooms and bathrooms would make this place next level but when can a hotel do a renovation? It has to close I suppose. My score of 3.5/5 and I guess if I came back and didn’t find anything else I would reconsider especially if I was with a partner.

Uruguay‘s and Punta del Este‘s best place! Top and friendly staff. Absolutely fresh food. Family atmosphere. Small leading Hotel of the World. The Carrera Family are making a fantastic job. We feel allways like at home and for sure - we are happy to come back.

Our 2-night stay at L’Auberge was a highlight of our recent trip to Argentina and Uruguay. This is a beautiful boutique hotel, a peaceful sanctuary in the busy town of Punta del Este. The neighborhood is lovely to walk in and the hotel garden, common areas, and rooms are all tranquil and maintained to the highest level. The dinners we had were among our favorites of our month. Most important was the exceptional service of the L’Auberge staff: special thanks to Valeria and Ignacio who were very helpful and made us feel welcome. Uruguay is a wonderful country to visit and L’Auberge is an absolute treat.

Das Hotel ist in einem ruhigen eleganten Bereich von Punta Del Este gelegen. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und gemütlich. Wir hatten ein neu renoviertes Zimmer im Erdgeschoss mit Gartenblick. Der Garten und das Pool sind besonders schön. Das Abendessen war auch sehr gut. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und die meisten sprechen ganz gut Englisch. Im obersten Bereich eines 10 stockigen Turms ist ein Fitnessbereich mit einem tollen Ausblick zum Meer. Dieser Raum und die Geräte sind zum Teil schon in die Jahre gekommen.

Tudo é incrível nessa hospedagem e a equipe do hotel é muito atenciosa e gentil O local é lindo, charmoso, romantico O quarto perfeito da posição dos móveis a iluminação Banheiro maravilhoso, agua bem quente O waffle da tarde uma delicia Serviço de quarto rápido e comida muito boa Café da manhã bom mas simples é perto da praia região super segura e silenciosa
