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.

Room was excellent, all the staff were first class, particularly the reception staff. Breakfast arrangements could have been better, we had to order hot food and this could be slow in coming.
