Pros: The beds were comfortable and the bed sheets were really clean. Kitchen and facilities were very clean and well taken care of.
Cons: Even with the lockers under the beds, all of the doors were left open 24/7 with no access keys to rooms. The bar is inside the hostel which was good but too noisy after 23:00 and the doors were not soundproof which affected comfortability of guests.

5.4 Okay
Pros: There is a nice garden although I couldn’t benefit from it due to bad weather. Kitchen is quite big and has basic I ingredients.
Cons: I was given a room next to the reception, which was unfortunately impossible to sleep in. First, the people who work at the hostel sleep there too according to availability of beds, which means they get up for their shifts and/or pack and move their things at random times of the night. Second, the common area was occupied until 3 in the morning by a group of men who paid no attention to respect the quiet time and made it impossible to sleep even with headphones on. I believe the receptionist tried to calm them but to no avail. Lastly, there is a TV in the common area that is constantly on, and on which people usually play football, if you’re looking for a chill quiet atmosphere this is probably not your ideal hostel.

Pros: Staff was kind and helpful! They answered all of my questions (and I had a lot of those!) with patience. Thanks Negro, you are the best!
Cons: It was a bit cold in the rooms and common spaces, during daytime. I believe they could perhaps warm up the place a bit :)
6.3 Good
Pros: Comfortable bed, nice hot shower, breakfast was great. Great to be able to watch some English movies We wanted to like this place more - a few things let it down.
Cons: The vibe. We felt the staff treated the hostel like a share house - cooking and banging pots at 2am, dishes washed but constantly piled & not put away. We accidentally didn’t put our name on something in the fridge, the very next day the staff were cooking with it.

Pros:
Cons: The noise, very loud music at the reception and in the backyard until 4:30 in the morning.

Pros: The only positive was that it was within walking distance of the bus terminal. I stayed for one night in order to catch an early morning bus. Otherwise, there are a hundred better hostels to stay in Montevideo.
Cons: The hostel was awful. The staff placed me in a female dorm even though I had specifically booked a mixed room. The staff take zero interest in the guests. The hostel has ZERO vibe. There are no common areas, the kitchen is small, and it is impossible to relax anywhere other than in the room. The 8 person dorm had one bathroom which was all in one room which made going to the shower or quickly brushing your teeth almost impossible. Also the room had these powerful air freshners which were so stong I struggled to breathe at times. Do not waste your trip to Montevideo staying here.

5.4 Okay
Pros: Location was great.-
Cons: The reservation was for one of our guests to a conference, we have fully prepaid the booking before his arrival thru this website, an employee of the hostel ask our guest to pay it he says it wasn't paid but it was. So booking was paid twice, finally money was given back to guest, but it was a really bad experience .
7.9 Good
Pros: The staff was amazing, he helped us a lot.
Cons: The kitchen wasn't like in the photos at all. There was only one electric stove to cook with and it was in a bad condition. So for me there was no kitchen at all. I needed to buy food all the time.
7.9 Good
Pros: The private rooms are big, clean and the A/C was brilliant. The location is ok. Not in the centre, but by bus (the station is just in front of the hostel) you'll be in the old town within 5-10 mins.
Cons: The kitchen is not really equipped for cooking and the breakfast was ok, not great. The toaster was broken and you can't use the kitchen during breakfast time.
