    Shower pressure was very weak, no plug by the bedside that we could see. A few cosmetic issues but nothing major

    Staff were lovely, so friendly and helpful at check in and check out. Great location, close to a supermarket, several restaurant options and walking distance to key attractions. We booked the apartment which was very spacious and had its own cooking facilities and bathroom.

    It was sooo cold inside, most residents were as dressed with jackets and hats inside as we would be for outside. While the main areas were constantly cleaned, there was a lot of dust on the windowsills. Sheets and towels were pretty old and well worn. It's in an area of town between the old city and the docks, which generally didn't feel very safe - especially at night.

    The building is quite beautiful, not far from the main old city square. Plenty of services and amenities within a 4-block walk.

    Furniture is a bit rustique and could do with a bit more deep cleaning.

    Excellent location. This hostel is an city manor which has advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side super high ceilings and entrance to a lovely balcony. On the downside, squeaking, antiquated furniture and doesn't score high in terms of privacy. The staff are professional

    Dangerous neighborhood at night. And could use some refurbishments or improvements here and there. Then also be happy to pay a little extra of course

    Great little hostel in the center close to the old town.

    No sign outside the house. Hard to spot it. Fridges could be cleaner.

    Stayed for one night before taking the ferry to Buenos Aires. Just perfect location for that. Had a room with a tiny balcony looking onto the street. The street creates some noise, however tolerable for a big city.

    Unfortunately my bedroom faced the street and the loud noise level was too high. The shared toilets and bathrooms were a little bit too open, therefore very little privacy exists for either. Still, when traveling alone, I would gladly stay there again.

    There was no breakfast nor other amenities included in the price. However, it was a low price and the informal comfort of the whole common areas of the building were superb.

    The walls are quite thin. You hear most things going on in the hall or other rooms. Depends on individual needs if that's really a bother though.

    The people that worked there were all very nice and helpful. The building itself is just really cool with very high ceilings. It feels very reagal but at the same time cozy. You can use the washing machines for free and everything is very clean and tidy!

    The street outside hostel is gathering spot for street people and as such feels rather uninviting and you as a guest of the hostel need to tolerate their loud behavior mostly int the evenings and nights. The room I was given initially had the door lock broken, so the door could not have been closed(was given substitute). The kitchen has a roach problem, witnessed a few of the during my breakfast. Speaking of kitchen, it is located adjacent to men's washroom with non closing door, so anyone in the kitchen can hear the the "business" in the washroom. Yummy....Honestly, in my opinion the hostel for what it offers is overpriced and the all the high rating is probably form the "high" stuff which is part of everyday life in Montevideo.

    The hostel is centrally located close to the main square and grocery stores. The staff is friendly and can communicate in English.

    The listing said that there would be aircon, but when we arrived there was no such thing. Hopefully they’ve changed it now. We had a lot of issues here, our door did not lock, part of the ceiling in the men’s shower fell down while my parter were in the shower, etc. on of the employees got so drunk on day that we slept in the men’s restroom, vomiting all over the floor.

    There was not much to like tbh.

    10 minute walk to the main square, the hostel was flexible for check in too as we arrived in Montevideo late that night.

    The hostel is a pretty, high-ceiling building. There is a nice very clean communal space as well as a roof terrace with a very good view of la Rambla. Upstairs there is a grill as well as washers and dryers. The location is great and the staff are incredibly welcoming. They were happy to speak with me in the little pieces of Spanish I could put together.

    It ain't a hostel but a residential. There seems to be a lot of people from Brazil there as I didn't hear any Spanish or English. It can be quite loud and noisy, cause the rooms are really old and facing the kitchen. The neighbourhood is quite dodgy as well, specially at night.. Avoid! No es un hostel, es una residencial

    Loud kitchen noise, talking, and music from staff, guests, and neighbors from 14:00 straight through to 23:00. Sound carries everywhere. Had to book a completely different hostel to get some semblance of rest. They made me pay the full stay but told Booking.com that they canceled my reservation, which did not initially allow me to leave a review. Some seriously shady business.
