Radisson Montevideo Victoria Plaza Hotel
The hotel is spacious and quiet. Our room was very comfortable and well equipped. The spa and pool were super useful during an afternoon rain. We were really well served at our arrival by reception staff (Mr Max) including tips for Montevideo and our stay was very pleasant.
