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 ciudad viejo. If the showers water pressure is usually really low in Uruguay here it's extremely low. So be adviced to take your time when washing your hair or just wash it naturally in the sea :)

We had a private double upstairs with a window overlooking the yard and back garden. The shared bathroom closest to the room had no working light so they plugged a lamp in! A bit strange. There were often queues for the bathrooms but they were clean. A nice kitchen and eating area inside and outside. Great hammock. Free tea and coffee. Easy walk to 2 supermarkets and the beach which is nice. Liked the hostel but it could do with a bit of attention. Would recommed for private room.

Had booked a room on their site with ensuite bath a week or 2 in advance. Only when I got there late at night was I informed that it was not available. Had to climb the stairs to get a shower or use the toilet... I would have appreciated to be notified before. Although I paid less It is the typical wrong attitude. Left on the next day...

Me and my wife stayed here for four nights. We reserved a private room through a website, but when we arrived, they didn't have a record of it.

They were really accommodating, though, and found places for us to stay each night. The staff is really nice, one or two of them speak decent English. There's free coffee and toast and jam every morning. A very laid back atmosphere.

They had free wireless, and one computer that anyone could use. Not a bad price, especially for how close it was to the beach (about 2 blocks!).
