Punta del Este hostels

Pros: Breakfast was good, hostel is decent. Close to the bus station and everything else you need.

Pros: Cool common areas including a bar. Clean, comfortable room with air con

Cons: Fairly expensive hostel e.g. 20 USD to rent a surfboard for the day

Pros: Nice pleace, excellent location

Cons: Many mosquitoes in the room

Pros: Nice communal areas both indoor and out. Music playing which gives a nice vibe. Good breakfast with eggs. Great location with sea view from the front terrace. Able to store my bag after check out.

Cons: Bunkbeds are for children! You have to make yourself horizontal to get in, no sitting up in bottom bunk. Charge points and lights not near bed so charged my phone across the room from me. Staff friendly enough but strict rules on not coming back and using facilities (common area, shower) post check out. I think they could've flexed on this and got some "friendly" points as a) the hostel only had a few people staying, and b) I had only arrived at 8pm, had barely used facilities and hadn't showered by check out!

Pros: Very close to both beaches. Close to popular eateries. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Hostel is clean And neat.

Pros: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I arrived early in the morning and they let me into my room immediately. They also provided me with a map of the town and loads of recommendations for things to do. The room (one of their queen suites) was comfortable.

Cons: You have to be aware that some rooms back onto the bar of the hostel. So there is some noise in the evenings.

Pros: The location, and the price.

Cons: The beds are really rustic, and the rooms are very old, and not well maintained. I doubt about the cleanliness of the whole place....

Pros: Good location and friendly staff - they tried to help with everything!

Cons: The kitchen and the rooms are very small and tight, the mattress was also bad. The bar was closed so they didnt have any food or drinks like it says on the website. You always need to wait for going to toilett because there are only 2 for the whole hostel and in those 2 are also showers so its nearly always locked.

Pros: + staff was very nice + everything looked very cool

Cons: -Our bed wasn't clean after checking in.. however when we let the staff know they immediately changed it, gave us some drinks from the house and were very apologetic. - location was a bit to far away from the nice restaurants and bars - The bathrooms were not very clean

Pros: The pool is very nice.

Cons: We expected much more from a hostel that suppose to be the best in the area. The staff could be more friendly, except for one girl at the reception, all of the staff members never smiled to us and treated us without respect at the check out.

Pros: It was clean, the staff were exstreamly helpful.

Cons: Everything was fantastic.

Pros: Reception staff are super nice & professional

Cons: Was so damp it made me ill. It absolutely stunk. If you have asthma you can't afford to be here. I feel sorry for mangament as they were touching up paint & trying to make entrance look nice but they desperatly need to spend some money on ventilation of rooms. In short term get bars over windows so you can leave them open for fresh air. I was trying to sleep with cloth over my mouth to prevent breathing in bigger spores Secondly bedrooms were filthy. Strange as so much care was taken to clean reception & common areas. But both my rooms were filthy. No way bathtub had been cleaned for a long time. The grime up the walls was just horrible This was my treat 4 day rest from backpacking & this place ruined it. Was horrible to come back to. Wish I'd stuck to my guns and demanded refund rather than change rooms. Even paying again if necessary
