    The building was very old, didn’t offer breakfast and the coffee places nearby opened late (maybe because winter), still would be nice to have some options

    Location is great but Colonia is very small so really everything works there, staff was really nice too

    Cleaning was so so, could be better. No kitchen !

    First communication via booking was a cold but following messages were much warmer, thankfully. Hostel well located by the centre of the town, next to a lot of places to eat. 4 bed female dorm was very big, with private bathroom. Private locked by the bed. They have a pool but it was too cool to enjoy it. Small terrace by the dorm, maybe there is more. Some books available to read. Chill vibes! Don't forget to go to see the sunset!

    Exceptional choice for your stay in Colonia!

    • Double Room

    Only negative things to say is that a) breakfast wasn't something special to go for it and b) we were short on time and didn't use the kitchen but having a look at it it didn't seem much equipped if you want to cook your own food.

    Exceptional choice for your stay in Colonia! The location is great on a beautiful little placa, right in the center with everything in walking distance. The common areas are very spacious, nicely decorated and clean both inside the building and outside (front garden and pool area). The double room was spacious, clean and very comfortable for two people. The hostel was really quite and peaceful when we went (end March). Friendly stuff. We stayed before in Viajero Montevideo but the Colonia one is definitely much better.

    Depends on the dorm. Some dorms are a big no! Loud music, horrible smell, tiny dorm.

    My room was the female room upstairs. I changed rooms a couple of times and I was happy in this room. However, I was in 2 other rooms before, that I really didn't liked. The loud music, the horrible smell in the tiny dorms... your experience depends on the room you have. The female dorm upstairs is deffinitly a 10! Staff 10+! Staff is amazing!

    Great place to stay! the hostel is beautiful, great facilities and wonderful garden, super clean and good vibes. The staff was super nice and gave me a lot of recommendation to discover Uruguay. The only thing I would improve is a couple of pan/utensilies more in the kitchen, however if you stay in Colonia only one day you don't really need to cook that much.

    We would have liked borrowing umbrellas when it rained. I would invite the hostel to be mindful of the noise from the kitchen generator and another machine that was quite loud. It was turned off when we asked but we would have liked to avoid asking as it is pretty common sense.

    We loved the location right off the main square with many restaurants and walking distance from/to the ferry terminal. We liked the terrace upstairs overlooking the square. We enjoyed our private room with view over the garden. Breakfast was good with plenty of food and we ended up skipping lunch and only eating dinner. We rented bicycles provided by the hostel to bike along the river and that was fun. People working at the hostel were always helpful and made our stay very easy.

    Right after I checked out and was waiting for my taxi, I received a “parting gift” from the men who work at the reception in the shape of a sexual joke which surprised me. When I asked the man who said it to repeat it he refused and then he and the other guy at the reception started giggling to themselves while staring at me. That kinda creeped me out and made me glad to leave already. Unfortunately some men still don’t understand the concept of solo women traveling and they assume (wrongly) that if we do that it means we are interested in something else rather than simply travel.

    Location was good as it was right in the old center and close to everything by few minutes walk only. The building was old yet beautiful and plenty of common areas.

    The staff seemed almost indifferent to our questions and requests. They seemed put out that we might ask for information.

    The breakfast was substandard. After suffering through one, the second day, we got breakfast outside, "on the street." The coffee was hardly drinkable, the cereal uncreative, the pastries weak... one of the worst breakfasts I've endured.

    Breakfast is not very diverse and mostly sweet, but times are good (8-11) and it’s not too expensive.

    The location of the hostel in a beautiful building in the center of the historic town is perfect. There’s a lot of common areas with patios/gardens and a small rooftop terrace and compared to other hostels it was rather quiet so that you could get a good nights sleep. The staff was very helpful with bus schedules and even tips for my next destination. I would stay there again!
