    Absolutely loved this hostel, it was BEAUTIFUL and the location is right in the old town on a gorgeous street with a lot of restaurants, bars and cafes nearby. The host is extremely friendly and speaks English perfectly. I can’t recommend this place enough, I couldn’t believe how cheap is it for how beautiful it is.

    The hostel is really well located in a safe area of Montevideo with bars and restaurants nearby. I was in the 4 bed female dorm which was comfortable and had air con option (when needed you had to ask reception). I met some nice people there although did get woken up quite a bit by changes of guests in the night, but that’s not the hostel’s fault! Great private shower and bathroom as opposed to having rows of shared showers. Nice patio area and kitchen. Very friendly staff

    It was the best hostel that I've ever stayed in. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and it had a great atmosphere. The location is excellent - right in the old historic part of Montevideo with easy access to the beach and Rambla.
