Fauna Montevideo

I like to see and support the preservation and adaptive reuse of older structures—it’s environmentally-friendly and preserves a view of the former cityscape. The Ciudad Vieja area is morphing and a little gritty but feels real, not sanitized for tourists. The architect has done his work on this small hotel and capped it off with an extremely helpful and personable (and multilingual) staff. Breakfast isn’t served in the hotel but there are many small shops along the pedestrian street on which the hotel is located.

Really beautiful hotel, boutique and well designed. Love the look and energy. Great location and in a very walkable area. Would absolutely return.

This is a very clean and quiet small (10 rooms) hotel on the main walking street of the old city. Jerónimo and Soledad, the proprietors, are extremely friendly and helpful with making recommendations and reservations and go out of their way for their guests. Overall one of the best small hotel experiences that I have had. There is no restaurant or breakfast service but there are plenty of places nearby

The hotel is in a great location. The owners and staff were all very friendly and helpful with all questions and suggestions. We would absolutely come here again.

The place is hidden from the street easy to walk past quiet but in a great location in La Ciudad Vieja. The owner is a fantastic person we were extremely comfortable there. Too many great places to eat

Fauna Hotel is a boutique hotel in the old town area of Montevideo- it exceeded our expectations for so many reasons. Jeronimo and Solidad were exceptional hosts, ensuring our stay was a great experience. The hotel is an absolutely beautifully restored building with attention to every detail - very thoughtfully and tastefully finished! We found ourselves looking around constantly to absorb and appreciate the real beauty of the building! Location is also fantastic within walking distance to the main sites and attractions. The city of Montevideo is fortunate to have people with the skills and passion of Jeronimo and Solidad to restore such historic buildings. Wishing we had a longer stay!

WOW!!! What an amazing stay!! I stayed here for a majority of my time in MVD. On my late night arrival Eduardo greeted me outside the hotel and ensured everything for a seamless check-in. He’s even a great map drawer. The space is SO THOUGHTFULLY curated. The vibe is great. Common area has local liqueurs available to guests at anytime (also fruits too!). The room was very clean. Loved the minimalist vibe. The next day, I met Jeronimo and this guy is amazing! He literally assisted me with any and every question I had. He also set me up with an amazing reservation at Primuseum on Sunday where there were very little options for eating. He provided so many tips and information about Uruguay. The entire staff was available by WhatsApp 24/7. They readily answered any questions I had. This was the best stay and as someone who works in hospitality (airline and hotel), I highly recommend this hotel. This is the place if you are in Montevideo. It’s also near everything along with the best restaurants in the city. STAY HERE!

The design elements were unique and attractive. Eduardo and Geronimo were attentive and nice.

Gorgeous wee hotel in the old quarter within easy strolling distance of bars, restaurants, galleries, shops and downtown. On a quiet pedestrian street, this stylish place has lovely rooms with comfy beds and pillows, really good WiFi, big shower rooms and a decent size fridge and coffee selection. It also has a really cool lounge/reception area which is not always manned, but the staff are so helpful they sent me a WhatsApp every night with suggestions of what to do, and you could reach them at all times. I really enjoyed my stay in this little gem of a place. 🥰
