A friend of ours living in Montevideo booked this hotel for us and we were very happy with our stay. We stayed there in two stages (split by a trip to Buenos Aires) for a total of about ten nights.

Yes, the decor is dated, but everything was really clean and the service was excellent. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and most of them spoke some English. They really went out of their way to help us with things like public transit directions, etc. I would rate this a one-and-a-half to two-star property, and great value.

Breakfast, as the other posted has noted, is plentiful, although the coffee was not brilliant (there's a great place just around the corner though) . We had them call us a cab plenty of times and never got ripped off, so I suspect that the other poster's experience came down to an unscrupulous cab driver rather than some kind of hotel taxi racket.

The location of the Hotel Klee was very central, just a block off the main street (Avenida 18 de Julio), one block over from the Museo Municipal, and right opposite an artisan market.

We're heading back to Montevideo in December 2007 and we will definitely look into staying at the Hotel Klee again.

A friend booked this hotel for me.

The accomodation was basic and clean but the decor was 1970's.

Breakfast was plantyful and good.

The staff speak english and were happy to recomend a restraunt, which turned out to be very good.

The only downside, and I'm not sure if this was the fault of the hotel. I left early morning and the hotel staff booked a taxi to take me to the airport. I didn't check the meter when I got in (yes stupid I know) and the driver charged me four times the cost of the taxi from the airport to the hotel.
