After 2 nights here I had put on half a kilo! One of my top hostels worldwide. Annette was so welcoming from the second I walked through the door. Tea, coffee, fruit juice, toast, and fresh fruit available 24/7. And cake! So much cake! And croque Monsieur for breakfast. And a big hug when I left

We had a great time in the hostel ! Everything was perfect and everyone super super friendly and helpful !! The place is insanely beautiful- super nice building with mega terraces on the roof, the view is mind blowing!! We arrived very late, but that was no problem. There is a 24h reception. Rick opened the door for us and was VERY helpful with all our questions and needs. We needed to change money and Rick even helped us out with his private money !!! The purpose of our travel was to pick up our Van from the port, unfortunately we had to check out a little later. We asked and got super fast the answer that there is no problem at all. :) would definitely recommend this hostel.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, in the middle of everything but quiet. Extremely warm and friendly hosts! Made me feel very welcome, whilst also giving me my space. Also lots of tips for travel locations ect. The guy put the FA cup final on the TV for me without me asking, because my team was playing. Seems to be the best budget option in Montevideo.

    Great location in the middle of the old town. The hostel is inside of one of the most beautiful buildings with old school with old school elevator. It is spread out to several floors and the rooms are kept clean and organised. The stuff is very helpful.
