A gem in Jose Ignacio

Amazing stay! The place is a gem. Feels like a chic and modern hostel-like for adults. Breakfast was delicious and included coffee, cereal, freshly made eggs, toast and chocolate cake. Rodrigo at the desk was super nice, helpful and gave us excellent recommendations.

Excellent stay - quality place / very new condition. comfy bed. quiet. a bit pricey for what you get, but what isn't around punta del este? Closely located near the bus stop but a bit far away from the beach and jose ignacio town center (15 min walk). No taxis in town.

Super recomendable!! Caro pero bueno.

Si bien al ingresar tuvimos un inconveniente porque tenian registrado 2 huespedes y reservamos para 3 personas, solucionaron el problema ubicando una cama de más. El personal de la posada es super agradable y servicial!! Todos, pero esencialmente Nico. Las instalaciones son muy buenas y el desayuno continental también. Tal vez le falte diversión, organizacion de algun evento para generar más empatia entre la gente. Pasamos año nuevo alli y no organizaron nada!!!
