The best thing about this place is it's close location to playa Pocitos. The room with air conditioning means there is AC but it is controlled from the reception so you can't turn it on/off in your room. You have to ask the staff to do it. Breakfast was basic. This hostel is also somewhat more expensive than those in... More

The dorms were pretty small with no locks (what is it with Montevideo hostels and an aversion to locks??) on the doors, but there were lockers in the rooms big enough to fit most packs. The bathroom situation was dire.. only 3 bathrooms for... More

We were constantly wowed by the owners who took the time to help us with directions, offered good recommendations on where to eat and introduced us to mate! The hostel is stylish, clean and quite cosy. I would not hesitate in returning... More
