Top hotels in Cordón
Hotel Antares
Great place to crash. Clean and friendly. Barebones and very simple. If you’re a “perfect day” kind of person this is a place for you.

Montevideo Hostel
Annette was great, super nice the whole time. I would recommend learning spanish as most of the city people just speak spanish. The hosts were very gracious and we even ate dinner together a few times.
