Good location
The hotel has a great location and the staff is really friendly. The rooms and especially the bathrooms are already showing heavy wear and tear with mildew and water marks everywhere. The breakfast is way too basic and insufficient. I do however understand that you get what you pay for but I have stayed at better hotels in Montevideo on the same price range

excellent staff and nice location
the hotel location is great. Right in the city center. Next to the main bus station there (rio branco) with easy connection by bus to other parts of the city, to the airport or to other places in Uruguay. 5 minutes walk or so to the old city pedestrian street. A lot of good restaurants and other attractions very close to the hotel. Convenience stores right next to it. The room I had (909) faced the street. The noise insulation is not the best and there was no fridge. Other than that I found the bed comfortable and the room is of good size. WiFi connection was really excellent. A huge plus when you need to work :) The shower was good. No issue with pressure and/or hot water. The breakfast was just fine. Nothing fancy but enough variety and good quality. The staff was great. Very helpful and welcoming. Fast Check-in and check-out and even very early check-in and late check-out with no surcharge.

Café style hotel in good location for sightseeing
Café style hotel set in the heart of the old town of Montevideo. Very efficient with large café area for bar/dining. Breakfast room separate and sometimes difficult to seat everyone at busy times. Rooms were fine - bathroom and shower were a very good size. Lovely bar staff. Express hotel is a good description as it appeared that people tend to be passing through.

Quality Slippage
Previous stays were better: we had a fridge in a clean room. This time however, there was a lot of hair in the bathroom and filthy mold in the shower on walls and floor. No drinking glasses in room--had to ask at the bar and we were given plastic cups for our (expensive) wine. How gauche. Asked for a room change and was told that they were sold out. We will not stay again, nor will we recommend it, with several other great neighborhood options.
