    There is no kitchen. But worse, there's not even a fridge or microwave. Considering the price of food in Uruguay this is a nuisance. The location looks good on the map but we didn't feel safe walking home at night. Some crazy homeless guy followed us into the hostel from the street outside one night. The bed. This sounds minor but it was actually way more annoying than the other things. The sheets were smaller than the bed so they just come off when you move. And the pillow was mega lumpy. One of the worst I've ever slept on.

    Overall a good hostel with a few frustrating kinks. Staff helpful and rooms are modern and clean

    No kitchen, beer in the hostel is stupid expensive, common area is nice but only one couch which is definitely not enough for the amount of travellers

    The hostel is clean and in the old centre, staff is friendly and helpful, modern common area, comfy bed with charging plot

    the common space is amazing but there is loud reggaeton music playing all the time that doesn't let you concentrate very well

    Amazing location, right next to the rambla (the famous seaside walk). Very clean room with AC and good WiFi. The shower had hot water and good pressure. The reception is open 24h, so you can check in anytime. There is a nice common space downstairs where you can work.

    The linens really need to be replaced. They are stained and the towels are ripped. The bottom sheet doesn’t fit a double properly so it comes off in the night. The pillows are super lumpy and need replacing. It definitely feels more like a basic hotel given there’s no kitchen facilities so I wouldn’t call it a hostel.

    The property is well located in the old town and the rooms are relatively modern. I would say it’s okay value but you are getting basic for sure.

    Although it sells as a hostel/hotel there is not a toaster oven, stove nor fridge. The only available things are an electric kettle and then plates, cups, silverware, tea and sugar.

    Clean, located near cafes, restaurants, bakery, money exchange, fruit market and supermarket. I had an inside room and at the end of the hallway so it was pretty quiet. Good shower and hot water, comfortable mattress and good WiFi. Nice seating and eating areas

    It’s very difficult not having a kitchen, especially not having a fridge. There is cutlery and plates and use of a microwave and hot water. You can buy charcoal at a local supermarket and use the grill on the roof as an alternative. They did not offer breakfast when we stayed.

    This property’s shared areas were very clean and felt very new. They had a board with activities, bike rental and recommendations that were up to date. Our room was very nice as well with good air conditioning

    One member of staff was a little rude to me when I couldn't understand her Spanish. Lacks a proper kitchen for cooking, but that didn't bother me

    Good location in the centre and free coffee. I was lucky as my dorm was mostly empty. Good amenities in bathroom. Roof terrace has a nice view

    The sheets were pretty old, worn and stained (but clean) and the bathroom was a bit tired, cracked tiles and smelly.

    Nice place for a few days in Montevideo. Centrally located and can walk to everywhere you need. I had a nice room with big windows and a balcony which was nice. Staff were friendly.

    Really good place for stays with simple lifestyle/Un lugar muy bueno para estadias con estilo simple

    As hotel, it is not fancy and luxury, don't go there if you want it. Bottom sheet are flat sheet, not fitted: they can escape if you move sleeping.

    As hotel, it is efficient and functional. And it is a no-smoking place. [Como hotel, es muy eficiente y funcional. Y es libre de humo de cigarillo] It is not a super fancy hotel, it gives you want you need for a stay: a comfortable bed, in a clean room with AC and and comfortable bathroom. The room is not big, but this is highly functional since the AC manages to cool it within 5-10min. The stall shower is built simple, but has enough space for 2 person and has a big nozzle. The hotel/hostal has a nice living area with a big table where you can work and to your stuff; also a separated dining area. There is a patio where you can relax and the terrace on the roof top (but the later is also a smoking-permitted area)
