The place is close to amenities and stores and shops and restaurants and transportation and sights but the staff particularly one lady named carol she is very rude and not helpful at all plus I was transferred from one room to another and with out notice they will move you and before you know it ...

Montevideo Hostel
Annette was great, super nice the whole time. I would recommend learning spanish as most of the city people just speak spanish. The hosts were very gracious and we even ate dinner together a few times.

Hotel Antares
Great place to crash. Clean and friendly. Barebones and very simple. If you’re a “perfect day” kind of person this is a place for you.
