Great little boutique hotel, located in the Old Town of Montevideo. Really close to the Buquebus ferry terminal from Buenos Aires. Jeronimo, really helpful and reached out to me night before about my arrival from BA and allowed for early check in. Hotel located within walking distance to historic sites and restaurants, hotel really quiet and clean. Definitely recommend staying here.

This was a gift I gave to my son and his girlfriend: 2 nights stay at Fauna. My son said this was one of the best hotels he ever stayed in. Absolutely loved everything about it and can’t stop bragging how great his stay was. I thank the owner and staff for an amazing experience!

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.

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

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!

Lovely hotel in Montevideo’s old town
This hotel is lovely! The check-in was easy, the room was beautiful, and it had lots of nice amenities. I wish we could have stayed more than one night. The neighborhood had several places to eat within walking distance and the ocean is a block or so away.

Perfection
If perfection exists, it would be FAUNA. My stay was fantastic and Jero and Sero made sure that I not only enjoyed my stay at FAUNA, but in Montevideo. My room and the building were beautiful and extremely comfortable. I had a great night sleep each night of my three night stay. Jero provided so many incredible recommendations of places to eat and things to do without my even asking. They truly care that you have a wonderful time and I am so grateful. I can’t wait to stay at FAUNA again when I return to Montevideo.

Fauna is a lovely and whimsical boutique hotel in the heart of the old town of Montevideo. The hotel is tastefully decorated, welcoming, and very comfortable. The owners are extremely kind and provide a personal touch to the whole experience. This is definitely way better than staying at a regular big hotel chain. If you want a local experience, this is the play to stay! The rooms are unique and spotless, and the location is perfectly situated on the main walking street. Super close to the Port Market which is a great place to eat Uruguayan BBQ! Highly recommended overall!
