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.

Functional but no fun.
I was staying for eight nights and wanted a place near the old town but where everything worked. This is a very busy modern hotel with no ambiance at all. Breakfast room was set up like feeding herds of cattle but it all worked.I had read quite a number of reviews of other hotels in the same price range but all had something not going right so I went for a safe bet and it was.

Great find in Montevideo
Nice hotel at good rate close to independence plaza, the center of the city. Friendly staff, and someone on duty who spoke English. I had no problem with my early morning check in. Would stay again.

Good hotel for the price
The hotel is well located. A lot of bums on the streets around it. It is hard to believe that the National Auditorium is across the street and they cannot keep it cleaner all around. Otherwise it is a great deal. Lots to do in the area.

Another good stay at the Orpheo Express Hotel
Spent the night again at Orpheo Express Hotel because of the wonderful location. The rooms are adequate and comfortable, breakfast service is good, and the staff are nice. We chose to stay here once again because we were happy with our choice the first time.

Recommended hotel in Montevideo city center
Although the rooms are on the small side, they are comfortable. Parking is not included and costs extra. Breakfasts are good and served in a relaxed atmosphere. The location is very central. Recommended.
