Los Jardines Colgantes de Babilonia Hostel Reviews

Hostel was nearly empty which on the one hand didn't make it so pleasant. But on the other hand it was really quiet and I had the staff's attention all to myself. An I have to say they were really nice.

LIKED - The couple running the place were so sweet. Very nice people. The bed in the private room was very comfortable and the hostel was quiet. DISLIKED - The kitchen smelled of moth balls and the toilet stalls are too small

We were very impressed with the private double suite in this hostel and would highly recommend it for a couple. Also the staff were excellent. My only recommendations would be that there be a key so that you don't have to always wait in the street to be buzzed in and also that if the garbage could be taken out from the rooms each day, that would be nice. The neighborhood isn't the best, but you can't do much about that.

We had the double room with private bathroom wich is located upstairs. The wind could blow through the window screens and it was lovely cool. We didnot need the airco. Good matrasses and very quite. We came with the the boat from Buenos Aires and could walk easily from the ferry terminal to Sarandi. This room was great!

We'd stay here again. Decent location at the end of the main pedestrian street of the city (further down the road looked a bit sketchy at night). Our double room up was excellent value for money. There seemed to be a few long term guests there so we didn't meet too many fellow travellers. The guys at the desk were all very friendly and welcoming though!

The hostel is definitely one of the best ones I’ve been. The place is exquisite, the owners are delightful people and my whole stay there was great! I will recommend it to any person I know and surely will stay here again when I return to Montevideo.

This was one of the best places we stayed in South America. Very clean and modern. Staff were very helpful and the room were very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Lovely place to stay. Light and airy with great facilities. Staff were very accommodating when we had to reduce our stay due to limited bus service to Asuncion. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great hostel. Friendly staff, nice breakfast. Location is great and I loved all the hanging plants.

I´m gratefull that the people from the hostel treated us like family. We had a really great time together and they gave us good advices about the city.

Helpful owner, clean and quiet hostel. Location near the old town was OK but very quiet in the evening. Nothing much going on nearby during the day or night while we were there anyway. The lockers were too small for backpacks.

An excellent option for Montevideo!! Recommended!

Nice hostel with a good location in Ciudad Vieja (which has both ups and downs, it's not as pretty as one might expect, and doesn't feel super safe at night, a decent supermarket is a solid trek away). Kitchen, bathroom and common room facilities are everything that's needed. If in Montevideo again, we would likely try to stay in centro or pocitos and just make a day trip to the market in Ciudad Vieja.
