MedioMundo Hostel — Local services in Montevideo

It had been years since I had last stayed in a hostel, and I was curious to try it again. I found MedioMundo to be a well run, well located, friendly establishment. On the plus side, the rooms are pleasant, each sleeping no more than 4 or 6 people, and the bunks have EXCELLENT mattresses. The bedrooms have air conditioning, much appreciated! The bathrooms are the individual one-person-at-a-time type and are kept clean. But there are only 3 of them for the whole hostel, which sleeps maybe 25- 30 guests. ||The common areas are very pleasant, if a little on the small side for the number of guests. Breakfast was lovely and ample. ||Best of all was the super courteous front desk staff, ready to help with any local questions. And they offer bike rental, cheap airport rides, reasonable next-day laundry service, and free rice and pasta in the kitchen cupboard.||Now the downside: some guests were very loud into the wee hours of the morning every night. Not rowdy drunk but just VERY LOUD talking and guitar playing/singing till 3am, oblivious to the idea that they were not the only ones there. How about posting official Quiet Hours, as a reminder to the night owls that some people are trying to sleep? Or maybe my hostel days are...

This was the worst hostel I staying South America. Beware anyone reading this: they will rip you off! They overcharged us and wouldn’t change it. I didn’t expect a hostel to rip us off. They charged our credit card in USD instead of pesos A higher conversion rate which basically means they ripped us off. There were other problems in addition to this if you’re not convinced that this hostel is terrible. ||||Cons:||1. We didn’t even actually stay at the hostel. We stayed in a house down the street.||2. During our 6 day stay, we didn’t see one person cleaning. The bathroom is dirty and the kitchen stinks. ||3. People live there and have taken over common areas and all the bottom bunks. ||4. The staff doesn’t know anything about the city. ||5. We over paid for laundry service to wash and dry our clothes and my clothes were still wet. They charged us $7US to wash and dry one load after quoting a different price to us. ||6. The air condition in our room was broken. So we had the keep the windows open and hear the loud street below us. Because of this, we got a lot of mosquitos. ||||I would not recommend anyone stay here. It was the worst hostel. They are scammers. These good reviews must also be a scam because it...
