The essentials for any conflict and disappointment are suppositions and exspectations. A nicely decorated internetsite adds to this. We were not so disappointed because we always try to experience a hotel as it is, with its niceties and discomforts, and then we decide if we will ever come back. Here we will certainly come back. And we will recommend it.... More

The web site makes the hotel look wonderful, like an undiscovered, small boutique charmer, but alas this turned out not to be true. It has potential, but needs much improvement in staffing. Basic services including sloppy housekeeping, punctuality with buffet breakfast service, helpfulness with simple requests, etc. need much improvement. The location of the hotel was also a problem, not... More

We spend four nights at the hotel and didn't experience anything that would make us want to go back. The staff didn't keep the breakfast buffet replenished and they didn't have an operating kitchen for room service. No bar, either. The room was kept clean, although there was a small pile of half-eaten peanuts outside our door that wasn't swept... More

Although it has a nice exterior and comfortable rooms, Esplendor lacks the management, trained staff and basic housekeeping to satisfy a visitor to Montevideo. The desk can't change the 1000 peso bills dispensed from the few ATMs many, many blocks from the hotel. Each room had a digital safe, but the instructions were obviously for a different locking mechanism. Despite... More

It was my second visit to this hotel. Definitely, the hotel has improved a lot (the lobby and amenities, such as gym, are now 100% working). The room is big and comfortable. Quality of the breakfast is above average. The gym is really basic and small, but it should work for a one to two nights stay. Location is good,... More

This hotel is very newly decorated and everything looks great. The room is very light, spacious and modern. The breakfast (buffet) is served on the rooftop terras. The wifi and airco worked in our room, beds are good. The location is good; in the centre and close to the old centre. In the centre you can find many restaurants. Staff... More

It was very new, so the facilities were fresh and it wasn't too busy. It was in a good location. Staff were helpful, breakfast was good, room was nice. It was very new, so some of the facilities weren't quite finished, like the gym. No tea making in the room

I spent just 1 day at this hotel. It's in walking distance to the city center and in a safe zone. The rooms are clean an confortable. The price is fair considering what they offer to the guests. The famous Mercado del Puerto is easy to reach from the hotel.
