The staff was very friendly and location was perfect (near beaches and bus stops). However, the bathrooms need some repairs (doors don't close easily and the hot water runs out suddenly).

nice hostel nearly beach and far from center, staff friendly, but if I wish to give up my postcard ready with stamps to send no cooperation, because in montevideo you dont find any cases for cars (first city in my life without cases for envelopes or postcards). Beds and rooms are not good!

The staff was fantastic! I instantly felt like we were all friends. Very welcoming. The place is cool, with a nice dining area and outdoor patio. Close to the beach, too.
