The place is dirty, no comfortable. MyI husband and I booked a double room. There is no television, THERE WAS HOT WATER in the bathroom. It was cold! It is egrettable, the prce for doble room is almost the same price of a simple hotel. We just got happy in Uruguay and we changed the hotel. there are many cheap... More

As everyone says, this is not great accommodation. First of all, I stayed in the largest dorm room, which had one fan and no window. I think it's crazy to put that many people in a room with no window, and the first night it was hot out and the room was unbearable. I slept on the roof, which I... More

Despite the central location, please do not go to this hostel!!! We have been here two nights during a six week travel in South America. Unbelievable, how unfriendly a crew could be. I never had such bad welcoming. The girls prefer rather not to talk too much. Just considering the possibility of asking to be shown around in the hostel... More

After almost 4 months of travel in South America we have met here the most arrogant hostel crew ever! The hostel girls we have met were sighing, turning their eyes, answering quiet rude @ each question. Unless facebook whas their full-time job, we would give them the award of laziness! The second night we escaped to a great alternative: green... More

Booked a private room with ensuite. The full view of the square was fabulous and the room was surprisingly large but that's where it stops. Their was no fan in room just window/door to balcony, which was shared by two other private rooms . It was so hot at night that door/window had to be left open which meant noise... More

The best thing about this hostel is its location in relation to the price. It was great value and is located right on the main square in Montevideo so it was ideal. We only stayed one night and I did find that on the second floor (one up from reception) there weren’t really enough bathrooms for how many people were... More

I have held back reviewing places in South America until I have travelled for 6+ months in order to, hopefully, give a fair review, in the context of the city, culture, price etc. We stayed at Che Lagarto for 2 nights. The first was horrible, but given it was a Saturday night, we thought we would give it the benefit... More

We stayed for one night in a twin room in this hostel at the start of our trip to South America. Our room was very basic and overlooked the main square. The door onto the balcony was broken, leaving a wide gap at the top. This made the room exceptionally cold as we were visiting in winter. The damage to... More

Wow - This place had the makings of a great stay, but in the end - I would not go back. There was quite a run down feel to the place - kind of like a college kid who knows he is flunking out by April because he has been partying too much and not studying at all and just... More
