This was an awesome place to be. On the rooftop bar there is essentially a small party every night with music and great conversations.

Beds are uncomfortable and things are rather neglected.

Charming hostel, good location. Breakfast nothing special. Quite a party place, so don't expect to sleep before 1am - even in a private room

We stayed in Montevideo from the 12th to the 14th of december 2011. We, a couple, hat a doubleroom at redhostel. The staff was quiet friendly but the room was noisy and when you moved in the bed it was so loud that you were able to hear this in the other rooms. The breakfast was verry "small" and the bathroom, especially the one for men, was not as clean as expected... But all in all for 25 euro a night for two persons it was ok...

No fun, no interaction. The staff only used the computer for chating the whole day, small interesses about the guests, questions disturbed. The furnitures are very poor, the air-condition droped on the pillow.

Amazing staff... people are really friendly and willing to help! We loved every minute there... Lockers could be bigger though.

Yo cannot lock the toilets and showers, you have to leave the door open - not good! There was a group of 50 rugby guys the time we were there - and they were making party all the time. that is not a backpacker like it should be. it destroys the atmosphere of a hostel where people that travel around should meet and not rugby party people. breakfast was great!

The entrance staircase and the painted glass at the ceiling alongside a beautiful roof terrace are the only good things worth mentioning about the hostel. Security wise it is well below average as we found out that all the rooms connect between each other with internal doors and they are not locked, the staff are really not interested in the travellers, only to do their job but don't expect friendly advise or a smile from them. Also quite messy at the time of our stay due to work in bathrooms.

Big hostel, but very pleasant with friendly en extremely helpful staff. Immediately felt at home there, if only for a few hours. Good baños were hard to find, but that´s probably solved once the new ones are finished. Great location as well. Be sure to ask Agustin for tips on great S-American comics!
