I stayed here for 3 days and really enjoyed it. The place was great and very clean. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, and this for me is the number 1 for a good hostel. Thanks guys Sean

I'm used to staying in hostels or bed and breakfast, this time I was traveling with my mother and I decided to take her to know this kind of hosting, completely different from what she used and she loved it! Nice place to stay in Montevideo, the staff are very friendly, good location and cool structure... You can go alone,... More

The staff were helpful, especially the girl that works in the afternoons- super onto it. Overall its a solid hostel, good place to meet people, the breakfast is pretty good, central location, clean rooms. The bathrooms and kitchen could do with a bit of a make over though.

The reception staff are really nice and helpful but it could do with a spruce up. Compared to other hostels we have visited in Argentina and Uruguay it is not the best value but for the area it isnt too bad at all. We had a room upstairs where there was some road noise but it wasnt all that bad... More

We (me and my wife) stayed for 5 days and everything's was well but there was some little problems. The people of reception are great. The rooms are good. But our room was near from the street and sometimes the noise of cars and persons talking inside and outside of the hotel bothered. And our room was not cleaned. There... More

Cannot say we enjoyed our stay here. We only had 2 nights in Montevideo and our first night we got very little sleep as there were springs sticking up all over our mattress and the noise from the street outside made sure we got very little sleep (room 2). The next day we asked could we change and they gave... More

Stayed at the hostel for three nights, on a private double bed room. The first impression entrering the room was a mouldy smell, because the room had no window. Other than that, it was a nice stay. The beds are confrotable and the room is clean. The breakfast is fairly good, with fruits, cereals, bread and a special local touch,... More

Our first room smelled a bit funny, and when my husband sat on the bed, it broke! The staff were very helpful and helped us to change rooms - they were apologetic which made us wonder if they knew there was a problem with the bed. We were concerned there would be problems with noise as all the rooms open... More
