Punta del Este is not a cheap city, but thankfully this hostel is a great cheap option for backpackers. It is located pretty far from the main part of town but is right near the beach and some restaurants. The staff are friendly for the most part but don’t speak much English. If you aren’t a Spanish speaker, you’ll likely have a hard time socializing here even though everyone is friendly. The hostel is also home to the friendliest black cat! Biggest suggestion is to add lockers to the rooms.

Good facilities but no atmosphere, about 8 people staying in the hostel. Also very far away from most things, but 30 min walk to the beach.

Really nice hostel located in a strategic place since you have access to both playa Mansa and playa brava in a few minutes. Comfy beds, no aircom, sometimes the inet connection doesn't work, nice kitchen, among other things. Now, if you are looking to sleep at night and you kinda struggle to fall asleep, beware that you might have A LOT of noise coming from the common area. At night people get together there and things can get noisy. If you like meeting people, then this place is meant for you.

About Punta del Este

The attraction of Punta del Este in Uruguay lies in its glitzy reputation, long sandy beaches and a lively party scene that keeps visitors on the dance floor till dawn. In this popular coastal resort, shiny yachts and soaring skyscrapers mix with beach bars and laid-back restaurants. Discover the easy-going enclave of La Barra or take a boat trip out to Isla de Lobos, where you can spot sea lions basking in the sun.

The hostels in Punta del Este range from colourful guesthouses in upscale residential neighbourhoods to spacious dorms in wood-clad buildings. Most hostels are just a short walk from the beach. Many of them have terraces where you can gather with other guests for a traditional asado (barbecue). Wi-Fi is often free in Punta del Este hostels; some even have extras like swimming pools with day beds, as well as bike rentals for exploring the city.

The beach of Playa Mansa has gentle waters ideal for swimming, while Playa Brava on the opposite side of the peninsula is a popular surf spot. On the main street of Juan Gorlero, you'll find various shops and restaurants. Across the bridge from the eastern end of Punta del Este lies the chic fishing village of La Barra. Locals flock to its Bikini Beach in the daytime, and its many bars and clubs fill up when the sun goes down.

Punta del Este is a playground for water sports such as surfing, snorkelling and windsurfing. A quick 15-minute boat ride will take you to Gorriti Island, which has two pristine beaches. Back in the city, popular attractions include the Faro de Punta del Este lighthouse, which was built in 1860. Then there's La Mano, a sculpture of a hand partially emerging from the sands of Playa Brava. This monument is the work of renowned Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal, and is a famous symbol of Uruguay.

Punta del Este International Airport is around 20km from the centre and connects to the city by bus. The main bus station has services to other destinations in Uruguay including the capital, Montevideo, two hours away. Within Punta del Este, you can easily walk the edge of the peninsula, stopping for shade under the palm trees lining the boardwalk. Taxis are in high demand during the high season (December to January), so many visitors rent a motorcycle or a bicycle to get around instead.
