I wouldn't recommend. The first terrible thing: the WATER smells like RUST!!! (either in the shower or in the tap) Horrible. The rooms are very small and DON'T HAVE LOCKERS. If u want to lock your things, u need to go outside, in a common area, to have your locker. The hostel is very noising the hole day. If you want to have fun, ok. But if you want to sleep anytime, I strongly recommend u to buy ears protector. You can't cook after 11pm, and the foods and drinks there are very expensive. Som

It was a nice hostel, close to the beach. The only thing that was stupid was that it was no key to the room and no loockers to loock inn passport and valuaebel stuff. The internettconnection the hostel said they had was almoust notexisting. It was inpossible to book a new hostell in the next townn we where traviling too.

Really good hostel with plenty of places to hang out in, either in the lounge our outside by the pool/bar or on the football field etc. Good location near to bus terminal, beach and shops. However, girls dorm was really loud at night and there were lot of mosquitos in the room.

Hostel looks as nice in real life, as it does on the pictures. Clean, staff very knowledgable, good dinners and drinks (for little money). Would definitely recommend!

This place was pretty cool. It has a swimming pool, table tennis and a football field to keep you entertained. Punta del Este is not really my scene though some people would like it. Think Cancun or Miami, with 1st world prices to boot.

That was definitely the worst hostel I've ever been in the whole world. It was filthy dirty, many problems with our reservation, staff treated us terribly. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

If you are in the cheapest all girls dorm, you are next to the bar with no curfew and loud music. Good pool, good chill out area and good computers.

Muy recomendable, buena onda. Lo unico que empaño fue el gordo boton que parece policia que te saca hasta el vino cuando estas cenando, se mete en el cuarto en punto para echarte. Muy boton y no entiende nada lo que es un hostel. De hecho el último dia nos tiro la comida de la heladera (como si supiera que es de cada uno). De terror.

The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is polite and warm, as well as the other guests. The location coudn´t be better: midway between Playa Brava and Playa Mansa. At night, at the bar, there is music and caipirinha!

Excellent and helpful staff, a bar and snack bar 24h open to better serve you, close to Playa Brava, but 15 minutes far walking from the downtown (the fingers). I think the bath installations could be improved, they got completely wet and dirty very easily. I went there in the high season, so the price was extremely high. But that was good if compared with other places.

Unfortunately, my stay in FF Hostel was not so good as i expected. I had a feeling that they are kind of exploratives, charging basic stuffs like water, bad food and beer with high prices. Another negative point is the hostel's location, if you want to find somewhere to eat for exemple, you'll need to walk a lot.

The swimming pool isn't by far that big like on the photos and we had problems with the water in the shower and toilet when beeing there. The rooms cannot be locked and there are no lockers. But apart from these points it is a super nice hostel with a lot of atmosphere. There's a football ground and it is very close to the beach. We had our own balcony in the 6 bed dorm. Great hostel
