Punta del Este Hostellit

Plussat: I’ve stayed in many hostels and hands down this has the friendliest staff, each and everyone of them gave off genuine and welcoming vibes which instantly makes you feel at home here. We stayed in both the room with and without a bathroom, and like the double room with bathroom best. The water pressure on the shower was great, the place was clean and had heaps of common hangout areas.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Original hostel, good location

Miinukset: Breakfast really basic

Plussat: Simple clean, amazing restaurant directly opposite.

Miinukset: The only downside was there’s not much air circulation in the shared female bathroom / toilet which cause some strange smell...

Plussat: Very clean, breakfast was good and the staff was very helpful.

Miinukset: The room of 4 was very small.

Miinukset: During breakfast you may struggle to find a seat.

Plussat: Modern, safe, clean, excellent location, friendly and helpfull staff. Nice patio, garden, nice lounge.

Miinukset: 4 person room was small. It was difficult to climb to upper bunker bed. On the lower bed you can not sit on the bed. Thanks anyway, I enjoyed my stay.

Plussat: Such a nice staff!! Wish I stayed more nights ! How highly highly recommend this place. I borrow a fork which I at the end forgot to return. I'm so sorry!! I will carry it with my as a nice memory now

Plussat: 7 minutes from the bus terminal And both main beaches Nice staff and breakfast

Miinukset: WiFi was not the best

Plussat: Globaly clean, quiet enough but probably because there were not a lot of clients.

Miinukset: One member of the staff wasn't nice with me. The wi fi password was difficult to find and ti understand. The breakfast wasn't consistent, there are not enough electrical outlet accessible in the entrance. The informations that I have been given were wrong.

Plussat: Amazing location, less that 5 minutes to the bus terminal and very friendly staff. Good breakfast to start the day!

Miinukset: Not very comfortable nor easy to get to the top bed

Plussat: Great location Kind of family hostel Good value for money Close to the beach

Plussat: Nice little garden, great location close to the bus stop

Miinukset: Cold water in the shower, limited breakfast, unstable wifi. Other people in our dorm did not respect the quiet hours, so it was rather unpleasant being woken up at 5am etc. Quite cold in the room

Plussat: Staff was very helpful and the location was a short and easy walking distance to the bus station, “the Hand” sculpture, heaps of restaurants and bars and many more!

Miinukset: It would be nice if the room rates included breakfast

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Quite noisy at night, very small kitchen, toilet don't have sits, no hot water in the shower, no shower curtains, wifi trouble.

Plussat: Good location within walking distance of beaches, attractions & main streets. Good wifi & comfortable beds

Miinukset: Breakfast times seemed a little late to me, not starting until 8.30am. Toilets not the best

Plussat: Good breakfast. Good location, close to the two beaches.

Miinukset: The staff was not very friendly. When we wanted to check in at 2 pm (which is check-in time), the lady at the desk just told us that "check in is at 2.30 pm, you can't check in now", without even checking the computer first, no explanation, no "sorry for the delay" or no smile. Me and my friend didn't understand why, so we were on our way to leave the hostel to do something else for 30 more minutes. Then the lady suddenly decided to check her computer, and it turns out our room was available at 14 after all. She didn't explain anything, just told us to pick up our luggages and follow her. The most important information (it seems) she gave us, was that we had to bring our towels downstairs during check out, not the sheets. Very important, she repeated this at least 3 times. Much more important than to give us a smile or any kind of information about anything. I've stayed at a lot of different hotels and hostels in South America, and around the world, but I've never met a less service minded person. When we had questions about the room, it felt like we bothered her, so we didn't want to "bother" her with other questions like recommendations on what to do or where to eat in the neighbourhood. The aircondition kind of didn't work. It was one switch, so you could either turn it off or on. The remote control didn't work, so we couldn't control the amount of air coming out, neither the temperature. We ended up having it turned off all of our nights at the hostel, because it was too cold having it turned on. The breakfast was actually pretty good, but the cleaniness was not. There's a cat living at the hostel. Althought I love cats, I prefer not having cat hair in my breakfast. The tables where we were supposed to eat were full of cat hair when me and my friend were the first one coming for breakfast in the morning, which means the tables had not been cleaned.

Plussat: Staff very helpful - they shut down due to Coronavirus and lack of clients, but helped me to find a great alternative Large room. Clean Breakfast was okay at UYU 140

Plussat: Hostel atmosphere was great, restaurant, bar and games at the hostel at no extra cost. Food was good, friendly staff, nice decor. Market, beach and terminal really close to hotel. They can also wash your clothe if you want.

Miinukset: The room only had one working outlet, not hot water, this is normally not an issue but since is next to the sea, it might get a little chilly at night, also since showers are in a sort if outside arrangement.
