Montevideo Hostellit

Plussat: Location was excellent and the room was comfortable with a good heater. Breakfast was also good and value for money at 120 pesos.

Plussat: location.

Miinukset: The front desk girl was rude. She misunderstood me and kept on talking without listening to what I really wanted to say. She charged me the 22% tax which was supposed to be waived if foreign tourists pay with a foreign credit card, and told me to get it back at the ferry at Colonial. But the officer at Colonial ferry said the code on the receipt she gave me was not the right one for refund. The place claimed to have parking, yet we were told the parking in front of the hostel was not safe. So we paid extra 8 usd for the parking overnight nearly at a parking lot. The guy at front desk was very helpful in giving us the parking info.

Plussat: All staff who work there are amazing! Friendly, and helpful!

Miinukset: Very old building, it feels like you sleeping in the street, all noise and smell coming inside and it's not possible to sleep well.

Plussat: It was cheap

Miinukset: Old facilities

Plussat: Super nice e and helpful staff, great environment to make friends when traveling alone, great location

Plussat: Everything great.

Miinukset: The street in front of the private rooms is very noisy.

Plussat: The whole team is great. They are attentive and sweet. I stayed at this hostel for 6 nights and would stay forever if it’s possible, thanks to every single person there. My special attention goes to Alex, who treated me really well and helped me when I needed. Thank you, El Viajero. I’ll recommend for sure.

Plussat: -Good location. Near to Plaza Cagancha and walking distance from Plaza Independencia -Spacious and clean kitchen -Nice common area -Helpful and friendly staff

Plussat: - Nice place to meet other travelers - Good location

Miinukset: - There are no keys to close the door - There are no coat hangers for your clothes - There is no light in your bed

Plussat: General vibes, staff , location , safety, feeling is good.

Miinukset: Breakfast very very basic which is ok. Bathrooms and Toilets are falling apart, always wet, fittings are broken. Need some good renovation. Overnight it’s noisy. So difficult to sleep if you happy to be near the back yard rooms.

Plussat: It was very clean, the staff were kind and the room was nice!

Miinukset: The main issue we had is that music was playing quite loud until 11.30pm and with all the rooms off the hallway you were not going to sleep until it had stopped!

Plussat: Friendly staff all ways someone around that spoke english

Plussat: Chill hostel, nice people

Miinukset: Almost all lockers are broken in the big dorm room

Miinukset: nothing like the photos on the booking site,noisey inside

Plussat: I loved the friendly staff, the relaxed vibe, Jaime the dog, the wonderful house and the location!

Plussat: Staff were friendly and the Saint Bernard was great. A few local bars and restaurants but about 40 minutes walk from the main attractions. Could hire bikes here which was really fun to cycle along the beach.

Miinukset: There were mattresses on the floor absolutely everywhere, in corridors, under stairways - impossible to move around the hostel without tripping over a sleeping person. Outside toilets not in a good state. There is air con but no way of controlling it.

Plussat: Was really clean, chilled out hostel. Staff were cool with a relaxed atmosphere.

Miinukset: Not many backpackers in the hostel

Plussat: The location is the only good aspect of this property

Miinukset: The hostel has no vibe, kitchen isn’t equipped, toilets can get very dirty and there is no lounge area. Staff that work late at nights Enter the rooms opening and closing the doors and then socializing with their friends in the dorm and using vacant beds to sleep.

Plussat: Exellent location, a few minutes walking from Tres Cruces bus terminal, local bus and other facilities. Reception staff very helpfull and availble 24 hours. Wifi signal ok.

Miinukset: Dorm room without AC. Just fans.

Plussat: It's located near to the international bus station. The room, sheets, towels and pillows were perfectly clean. There are wall sockets near each bed. There are grocery stores nearby.

Plussat: It is a good place. Very close to bus terminal which was the main reason I took it and served me well, with bus stops nearby to access Pocitos, Ciudad viejo and La rambla also! Rooms were clean, staff was good. Nice place overall!

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: The room. The bathroom un the room. My roomates

Miinukset: The common space

Plussat: Proximity to bus terminal

Miinukset: There was zero hostel vibe going on here. Internet was bad and didn't reach the dormroom

Plussat: I liked almost everything about CLH Montevideo, the bed, location, bath.

Miinukset: The WiFi inside of rooms sometimes doesn’t work.

Plussat: Location was great.-

Miinukset: 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 .

Plussat: The staff was amazing, he helped us a lot.

Miinukset: 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.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: 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.
