The first thing I noticed about this place was the friendly staff. They are willing to help you and make your stay as nice as possible. It is well located, but you have to be careful late at night because it is kind of dangerous. Bedrooms and bathrooms are clean, organized and the decoration is great. They have bicycles so... More

We got a private room (shared bathroom). Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and it wasn't too noisy at night. The bathrooms were kept fairly clean too. The staff was helpful and friendly, and everyone who worked the front desk while we were there spoke English well. They have a bar upstairs, which was a popular gathering area for everyone... More

The staff is the best! They provide useful information and they are very kind!! It is also clean and very safe. They have a terrace that they could use more, making more activities up there! The cocktails are very good too!

nice and clean hostel to stay in for the short time required to stay in Montevideo. Staff were friendly and helpful with any questions I had. Bar was upstairs that I did not use but there was a late party one night and I was situated downstairs and was not affected by noise at all. Would prefer to have lock... More

Friends had recommended this hostel to me and I have to say I was a bit worried about the standards of hostels in South America. It was actually very clean (sheets and bed were spotless and smelt nice, bathrooms were constantly cleaned) and safe (there are lockers in the room). The staff from the hostel is really helpful - one... More

Clean washrooms (except 1), kitchens and dorms. Better fans are required in the rooms as it was stifling hot and the ceiling fan did not work. There was a fan fastened to the wall but that was only good for 3 beds. Bikes for rent, good knowledge of area and activities. Dinners offered were good and good value, which was... More

We did not know the city would be closed when we arrived on the first day of the new year, so we were not able to enjoy as much. It is walking distance to the beach and the main plaza. The breakfast is standard with bread, yogart, and cereal with ahoy beverage. Staff is nice, but they were not too... More

I moved from another hostel to here (because the female dorm over there all of of sudden was full with men) and wished I had stayed here from the very start. Good beds, very clean and most of all very helpfull. I checked out, but could leave my luggage there during the day and when I picked it up after... More

This hostal was easy to find and located in a great area, the staff were really helpful and friendly, and the rooms and facilities were clean and tidy. It was really easy to find out information and book transport and accommodation in and to other locations in Uruguay.
