Destino26 Hostel, hotel in Montevideo

Located in the heart of Montevideo, this 1930 refurbished house offers private and shared rooms with free Wi-Fi and a common kitchen.

I stayed in January 2025, I chose the private room; everything was very good, considering that it is a hostel, since the priority is the meeting with other travelers, then some amenities that can be found in a hotel are left aside, such as access to the room in this case is by stairs and is complicated with the suitcase, a bedside table is missing and the bathroom shower can be improved to avoid wetting the entire floor. The rest of the hostel is very comfortable, both the common areas and the location and the breakfast is very tasty. I would come back.

Palta Hostel, hotel in Montevideo

Located in Montevideo and within a 6-minute walk of Ramirez, Palta Hostel has a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Location to the Beach is so closed. Ample place to hangout and around at the hostel. Kitchen, hot water and so on. WiFi works superbly. Ample room for laundry hanging and laundry service is provided at a decent fee rate while you’ve got a market two houses away, or a block and a half away wrapped around the corner. Luxurious it ain’t but as a backpacker it met and exceeded my expectations. The staff is utterly amazing. Stephanie stood out the most. 🙏

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.

    This is possibly one of the best hostels we have stayed in so far in 6 months of travelling South America. In the most expensive country in South America, this place represents great value for money. Clean, tidy, the common room has computers, tea, coffee, and nice place to chill and meet others without being a party hostal. I highly recommend.
