Many hostels set out with the goal of creating a place where travelers feel a sense of community. El Diablo Tranquilo is one of the rare hostels I've discovered that not only succeeds, but excels in this pursuit. It was the little things- the communal table in the restaurant and the common area built around the fire. Everything about this place makes it easy to feel at home. I travel in hopes of finding places like this. Many hostels set out with the goal of creating a place where travelers feel a sense of community.

Great staff and fun atmosphere. Staff are great in English and some try very hard in Spanish. Great staff and fun atmosphere. Staff are great in English and some try very hard in Spanish. ...Close

Ok, it was a cool place, very clean and punta D. is great. That said...Having a staff of ten americans from the same university really kind of takes away from the experience. aside from being clicky, Its uruguay but doesnt feel like it, it feels like an american beach house, why travel to uruguay to be surrounded by america?, not to mention if you are going to profit off a country, at least give back by employing more uruguayans...or at least some international travelers....just my thoughts.Ok, it was a cool place, very clean and punta D. is great.
