Pros: The hostel was great, great location on the beach, friendly staff and good size rooms for a 12 bed dorm, clean and the bed was very comfy. Breakfast was ok, only sweet things (normal for Uruguay).

Cons: We were a group of 3 friends, we rented 3 bikes and only 1 was good. One of them has no breaks on the front and we knew it, we supposed to get discount and at the end we payed full price (15 US $). ...

Pros: Location is good

Cons: The bed was old and mattress was horrible; stained, soggy and flat. They need to buy new linen. Wifi was weak and temperamental

Pros: Nice location close to the beach, lots of spaces to relax and socialise

Cons: Lots of mosquitos in the room, paper-thin walls meant lots of noise from the common areas which people were using until 4am. Breakfast very basic, even by hostel standards.

Pros: Staff so lovely and friendly Charming hostel, rustic but not dirty and full of insects

Cons: Bathrooms a bit of a trek (you have to go outside which is not ideal for showering) Breakfast very sweet and carby, but standard for South America I guess
