No frills lodging for a good price.
Traveled all over South America and this hotel was typical of most others in this price range. It had a nice lobby and the room was a good size. The shower had good water pressure and hot water. The walls were rather beat up but that is typical for this price range. The breakfast was a little better than some because it served cheese and lunch meat in addition to the typical high carb fare. The facility description said it had laundry service, but it in fact does not. They also do not offer affordable shuttle service to and from the airport. It cost 45 dollars to get to the airport with their Recommended taxi service.
Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2018

Bad hotel in bad neighbourhood
At reception we were informed that the reservation I made when confirming the bed arrangement as suggested by Expedia by phone on October 24 did not exist, we had a room for only one night. The hotel room was tiny, wall to wall with two single beds and a cot each equipped with a very thin pillow. There was only a drizzle of water and no hot water making a shower undesirable. A water leak beside the toilet was not welcome and the internet was barely usable

basic, affordable accommodations
Very basic hotel. No frills. Things broke regularly (the air conditioner, the shower, the window blinds), but the hotel staff were always very quick to repair things. In short, you get what you pay for. But I'd happily stay there again.

Bad hotel - stay away
We had problem with the hot/cold water in the shower - it was impossible to take a shower. The rooms are very small and very dirty. I once needed an extra towel - the guy at the reception desk was very nasty and was very reluctant to help. One block up the street there is a much better place for the same price... I highly recommend not to stay at this hotel!

Hotel at edge of Montevideo
This is one of the inexpensive hotels in the downtown area of Montevideo, with the difference that it is one the outskirts of the downtown area not far from the Rambla, which can be used to get out of town. Like most of these hotels, the accommodations are a little old and worn. However, the rooms are not as cramped as in some hotels, and they are clean and bright. The staff, both at the front desk and those cleaning the rooms are friendly and helpful. If you are looking for an inexpensive hotel in Montevideo, this would be high on my list.

Book the Orpheo instead!!!
You get what you pay for. This hotel looks fine from the outside, but the room was terrible: bathroom filthy, smelled of urine, toilet had not been cleaned, plaster falling off the walls, a few stains on the bedspread and icky, pilled polyester sheets, outlet didn't work at the desk, so awkward to charge laptop in bathroom. Noisy patrons in hallway. Only redeeming factor was reliable internet connection. If you are needing the convenience of the neighborhood (right next to Teatro Sodre), you might consider Orpheo Express, just a block closer to 18 of Julio (main drag), well worth the extra few pesos for cleanliness, service and convenience. Stay away from this dump!

Do not stay at this depressy, dingy, dirty hotel!!
Don't stay here! This is a depressing and dingy hotel with a mouldy bathroom and a very uncomfortable bed. Our tv barely got any channels, we did not want to use the shower and could not wait to get out of here. Location was ok it not great, and was very noisy. I'm sure there are nicer places for similar price in Montevideo. Trust me you want to avoid this one

Decent place to stay but lacking in a few areas.
Staff very friendly. Room was acceptable. However we noticed the towels we left were occasionally not replaced by fresh ones. Also there was a significant mold problem on the ceiling of the bathroom which grew over the three days we were there indicating a water leak in the room above. The room was OK but showed that maintenance could have been a bit better on small things. Certainly worth the price and we would stay there again, but not for a longer time.

Nice simple hotel in great part of the city!
Enjoyed this hotel, may not be your top notch hotel with a pool or gym, just has rooms and a dinning room for breakfast. No bar no room service, just a simple room that was comfortable and enjoyable. Got a great price on expedia so I booked it for another week. Most of the staff were very helpful and nice. Had a nice view from the fifth floor, and it was down the street from the plaza indapendacia, which is a by a lot of restaurants and shopping. It's great for backpackers who want the comfort of their own room and bathroom for a cheap price.

Nice hotel in good location
Staff friendly, rooms are fairly basic but good for just a few days. Located close to main area in montevideo , and reasonable close to bus station and buquebus ferry terminal. Breakfast also very basic but ok.
