Hostel 32 — Hotel in Punta Del Este

This is a tricky review as this place had some really good string points but then some real let downs. We deliberately went to Punta after party season had finished as we just wanted a quiet couple of days mid week. Good timing and the hostel seemed to be winding down.. the bar wasn't open which I assume it is during the season. Good for us as the double room was facing directly into the bar area. Lovely when it's quiet but not so sure on weekends?||||Double room was good. Bed comfortable. Had to make the bed up ourselves which was fine. There was even a little lamp which would work if you wriggled the cable just right. The shared bathroom was ok and the shower was good. When we checked in the staff told us that if there is no hot water tto check with them that the boiler is on... this is also fine except that there wasn't even any water both mornings, let alone hot water. We had to wake up one of the sleeping bodies on the sofa that we hoped were staff to fix it. They fixed it but it was already after 8am when we woke them with plenty of people having used the toilet in the night without being able to flush it. I don't know if something was broken or if they have to put the water on every day but not being able to flush the toilet in the night is pretty gross.||||The staff were helpful enough if you asked a direct question but otherwise seemed be sleeping or showering or eating... not much servicing of customers. Maybe they are all volunteers that are staying there? The kitchen was the other let down... big kitchen and very well equipped but absolutely filthy. Guests didn't appear to clean up after themselves and staff didn't seem to be cleaning up or encouraging guests to. Maybe we just we're unlucky with some disgusting guests but plenty of the dirt looked older than an day or two.||||So, overall, I think this place has brilliant potential but it appeared to be let down by...

😊: It was a short walk to the beach. Just make sure you bring cash to rent a chair or parasol on the beach. The pool area was quite nice. There were cleaners around for most of our duration.. 😢: We booked a basic double room and were upgraded to a room with air-con and a TV. I can't imagine what the basic room was like because our room smelled very strongly of damp, the bedsheets didn't seem clean, and the door handle was loose. It was very loud with people talking in the common area until 2am, and then with people banging doors and talking until 5am. It's at least a 30 min walk to restaurants and shops. The bathroom doors need to have the...

La verdad la peor experiencia como viajero. Elijo los hostel a la hora de viajar por su calidez , la gente , por lo que a uno le deja cada lugar donde visita y su gente , en este me desepcione. Por empezar la recepcionista "Paola" que su cara ya lo dice todo para el que la conoció parece de una persona cansada u obligada a trabajar mala onda , todo le molesta ocupada con sus series de Netflix . Brindo poca información tanto del lugar como de la ciudad no sabía decirte nada básicamente y una forma poco agradable de dirigirse . El otro encargado "Matías" no era mal tipo un chico que recién empezaba pero que no deja el celular ni para hablarte todo el día y no se veía tan activo en su rol y desempeño ahí adentro . Por las noches no sé quién había controlando el lugar por que era ruido , desmadres , música a todo volumen y nadie ponía orden violaban los horarios de descanso , o de silencio y el de uso de la cocina para el que quiere descansar o va en pareja no lo recomiendo para NADA y el que va con amigos puede ser o amigas . Y la Frutillita del postre el dueño !!!! En varias ocasiones al cual íbamos a presentar una queja se hacía el desentendido , que él no era el dueño o se hacía el BOLUDO . PERO PARA HACERSE EL LINDO CON LAS INQUILINAS ( trato especial y preferencial sexo femenino ) ESTABA a la ORDEN DEL DIA , SE COMPORTABA COMO UN CHICO ADOLESCENTE Y SUS AMIGOTES O SOCIOS IGUAL !!! ojalá hubiese tenido la oportunidad de decírselo...
