The hostel is in a very good position, close to the bus terminal and the grocery store and perfectly in the middle between the two main beaches. It's the cheapest hostel in the area and the common areas are quite nice. It has 5 bathrooms which is great for the quantity of people staying.

Atlantic Hostel Punta del Este, hotel in Punta del Este

Featuring free WiFi, a barbecue and a terrace, Soul Hostel Punta del Este offers accommodation in Punta del Este, 100 metres from the coastline. Free private parking is available on site.

It is perfectly located, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and beautifully landscape and it is quiet, calm, unlike the one next door. It seemed more lively, with more amenities, although at the bedtime, I'm not sure it was quiet. My mother and I are older, although we chose this one for location and reviews. The customer service is kind

Negrita Hostel, hotel in Punta del Este

Located in Punta del Este, 1.5 km from Montoya, Negrita Hostel provides accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

We had a private room in a bit older building of the hostel, but it was a large room, with a good, big bed and a perfect shower (even a rain shower!). Wifi worked very well. There are a couple of common rooms which you can also use, even if you have booked a private room. That's very nice in the evening. It's nice that the breakfast includes fresh fruit. Regarding the price, the stay is absolutely good value for money. But what really makes Negrita Hostel the absolutely perfect stay is owner Camillo: he is very friendly, attentive and gave us a lot of information: restaurants in the area, but also in Punta del Este and even on the way to Montevideo. Also good information about museums, sights, things to do,... I would absolutely stay in Negrita Hostel again if I would travel to the region again.

    The staff were amazing, super friendly and generous with recommendations and time for a casual chat. The hostel was quiet as I was there outside of the main season but it felt really cosy because of that; I was also upgraded to a better room which was very kind. The location was fantastic, right next to a supermarket, beach, restaurants, cafes and shops. It also felt really safe. La Barra is a really cute area, I'd love to come back again and stay at Negrita. Thanks so much!

    If u travel with a budget its definitely a good option but dont expect too much. The hostel is good located and extremely cheap for Uruguay. The mattress are hard and old, the kitchen well equipped. The shower has hot water. Staff is super helpful and friendly.

    I’m traveling for 6 months and this was by far the best hostel I stayed in. The staff became like friends and the atmosphere is amazing. If you image a surfculture, this has the surfculture. The ultimate place to come to rest, close to a perfect beach and the nice streets of la barra. I would recommend this hostel all day to people. This hostel is for me a reason to come back to Uruguay next year. A big big fan here. Thanks for the wonderful stay here Cami, Vicky, Lu and Ines

    Great location! Right across the street from a beautiful beach, easy walking distance to everything in town, and very, very safe! Pools and fitness center were excellent, and massage was fantastic! Excellent breakfast and meal services with abundant variety. Enjoyed variety of news services BBC, CNN, FOX, and Bloomberg. Front desk staff were outstanding in helping with reservations, transportation, and tours. Well done!
