What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Monreale Express International Drive Orlando is praised for its budget-friendly rates, walkable location near Universal/International Drive, and generally friendly staff, while feedback frequently notes traffic noise, thin walls, and a basic, no-frills experience.

Some guests find rooms clean or recently refreshed, with comfortable beds for the price. Cleanliness is inconsistent with multiple reports of pests or musty odors, and maintenance issues (loud or fixed-setting AC, thin pillows, worn fixtures) come up. Breakfast is paid rather than included, and the free park shuttles run on a limited schedule. Expect a simple, budget stay best for park days if you can tolerate noise.

We have stayed here a few times and the biggest issues is the parking. There is not enough parking. If you come back to your room late at night you are having to park somewhere that isn’t an actual parking spot. The sink in our room was clogged so draining was a slow and the water pressure in our shower was terrible.

The WiFi is horrible. We did a speed test and there is minimal upload and download speed available. The safe does not work. The door entrance buckles when you close it, so you have to make sure your door is secure. All the buildings around are empty and abandoned besides one from what we can see.

If you are looking for a "no-frills", clean hotel near Universal, this is a great option! We didn't spend much time in the hotel, but the on-site laundry, while busy at night, was handy. The pool was clean. We were looking for a reasonable place to stay to enjoy Universal and this was perfect for us. We like to walk and it was an easy 1 mile walk to/from City Walk (Universal and Islands of Adventure). We walked to and from Universal each day since the free shuttle options weren't right for our time schedule. Additionally, there are lots of restaurants and a great outlet mall all within a mile or two of the hotel. The hotel has free, on-site parking which was extremely helpful. Also, this hotel is an easy 15-20 minute drive to the airport.

It is also walking distance from many restaurants, fast-food, and stores. I stayed here solo and felt pretty safe. I only gave 4 stars due to cleanliness in the room.

Our room 332 was dirty, has numerous roaches that we were killing. Room 332 bathroom is falling apart and toilet is horrible. I only used the bathroom once while there. The shower was dirty including the wall and so was the sink. I took pictures of everything but cannot share them here because there is no option. The worst was the roaches running on our food and items. The 10am checkout staffs does not care about the roach infestation. We told the staffs and the female said okay. My husband went down to lobby at around 3am which is open 24 hours and there was no one there, he waited about 25 minutes. He even called and their phone after not being to get anyone in the lobby and the voicemail was full. I ask for a receipt upon checking out and was told that they do not give receipt and it will be email to me. I went back to the hotel 30 minutes later after not receiving the receipt and was told the same thing but Gustavo overheard me and came to the front desk to teach the staff how to give me a receipt. Stay away from this hotel.

I had a wonderful experience staying at the Monreale Express International Drive Orlando. The hotel's location is unbeatable, right in the heart of International Drive, with easy access to popular attractions like Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and Icon Park. Additionally, there are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance, making it a perfect spot for both convenience and entertainment. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The modern decor and thoughtful amenities, such as a mini-fridge, microwave, and free Wi-Fi, made the room feel like a home away from home. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, Mina, Diana and Gustavo always going the extra mile to ensure a pleasant stay. They were quick to provide tips on nearby attractions and assist with any requests, making me feel truly welcomed. The free parking was another great bonus, especially in such a central location. Overall, I highly recommend the Monreale Express International Drive Orlando to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, this hotel offers excellent value, outstanding service, and a prime location.

Stay was 10/31/25 - 11/1/25; went for Halloween night at Universal. First hotel I've stayed in where "renovated rooms" had actually been renovated somewhat recently. All furnishings were in good shape, not the most expensive things, but good. Three negatives...bed was too firm for my liking; room was near where housekeeping starts their day and cart noise woke me early. Advertising said there was a shuttle to Universal. After arrival I found the shuttle was only for daytime and nothing for the Halloween evening we planned.

The property itself is not bad and the staff is friendly too. However, why nobody in the review mentioned how terribly noisy that place is? It's literally next to a major road, and the noise level is absolutely unbearable! I slept less than 2 hours in the first night of stay and felt like I was sleeping right on the highway -- I'm not a light sleeper but that noise level is way beyond what I can stand for. Will never stay in this hotel again!

This hotel was nice for the price. The room was clean and fine; it was very close to universal and icon park. There were many restaurants, shops, and activities nearby. The breakfast was $11 per person, which is too expensive for what was offered. Don’t get me wrong, it was a decent spread - they had scrambled eggs, sausage, croissants, Bagels, muffins, pancakes, cereal, yogurt, fruit, toast, and beverages. But usually the breakfast is free at hotels. Maybe like $6-7 would be more appropriate. Parking was good. Overall, it was a nice stay. Good water pressure in the shower. The only small downside was no coffee pot in the room, you’d have to pay the $11 for breakfast to get coffee.

Service

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with quick responses to issues at times. However, service can be inconsistent—limited routine housekeeping, occasional rudeness or billing problems, and a cash‑only $200 local deposit policy frustrate some guests.

THEY CHARGE $200 CASH DEPOSIT THAT CONVENIENTLY YOU VAVE TO OBTAIN FROM THEIR ATM THAT CHARGES $7.85 TO WITHDRAW. They will hold your reservation hostage if you don’t & happily tell you to cancel if you don’t have or don’t want to pay it, even if your stay is paid in full. And don’t forget to ask for it back cause they will try to send you on your merry way without it.

From the beginning the moment at checking, the first thing they tell me is because I'm a local I have to pay $200 cash deposit. Upon checking Expedia, they could not find anywhere on the site where it stated that locals pay a $200 deposit- cash only.They proceeded to read me something on their computer stating that they may charge $200 for incidentals, when I demanded a copy or to see that screen, they refused it as well. I was no more than 30 minutes laying on the bed when I broke out with I am unsure was a rash, hives or bites, but they covered from my forearms, all the way up to my shoulders and my entire body was extremely itchy.It was so much so that I had to take a shower to try and subside it , After the shower I rushed out of there.

The front told me the day after that they couldn’t find my reservation and decided to charge me for 2 extra nights even though I already paid for the 4 night through Expedia. They charged me without telling me anything and also canceled our keycards so I was outside my room trying to get in and had no clue about what they did. This has to be the worst customer service ever. They made decisions behind my back and took money without informing me which is very disrespectful and very unprofessional.

The staff at the hotel were all amazing, very friendly and helpful. Check in was easy and fast. Hotel was in a great location for International drive and Universal Studios. You can easily walk to Universal Studios within 20 mins or get free shuttle. We used free shuttle to the Dockside/Surfside hotels too as they are nearby. Breakfast at the hotel was good, extra charge applies. Lots of choice and nice food and staff. Only complaint was all the plates etc are plastic and only used once and thrown away. The pool area was a bonus and the laundry facilities came in useful too. The room was OK, clean and good bathroom. However, was a little noisy as very close to the highway. And the pillows were very uncomfortable. Overall, a great, friendly hotel for a few nights in Orlando. Would definitely stay again.

Arrived at this property 9:30pm. Requested a late checkout however that is not an accommodation I’m guessing because of the area. It’s a tourist area so it’s really not beneficial to Floridans traveling just to get away. Staff were ok. Seems to be an established for foreigners or Spanish. The room was ok for the price only stayed one night. Then to have to pay $12 for complimentary breakfast per person I don’t agree with. Was put on the first floor and of course staying on international drive I should have know it would be loud up until 2pm.
