Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The neighborhood is in the process of being revitalized. It seemed to have abandoned buildings around Ciudad Vieja. Most of the developing areas were near the Mercado Puerto which is about 10minute from Circus Hotel. The location of the hotel was within walking distance of the Plaza Independencia. Sofía at the front desk was very helpful and friendly.. I opted for the private room accomodation. It was spacious and clean. The bed was two twin beds put together . Air conditioner worked very well. 24 hour coffee and tea available. Different tours and activities available at the front desk. I enjoyed my stay at the Circus Hotel.

Bom, mas não aceitam cartões
Hotel tem recepção 24h, wifi bom, quarto simples mas o preço foi baixo, o que o hotel peca é que não aceiram cartões então ao meu ver complica a vida de alguns hóspedes. Essa informação deveria ser inclusa aqui nas descrições.

Good Hostel beyond my expectation
It's a relatively new hostel and the room condition is very good. Front desk speaks good English and was able to provide helpful information for our questions. They also have a lot of tour information and you can rent a bike from them. Highly recommend it!

Great little hotel. It has the amenities of a hostel which is nice. It is in a very good location and for the price I would definitely recommend staying there.

Our best stay in Montevideo:)
We stayed in several places in Montevideo during our stay, including 3 and 4 star hotels - this was the best and ironically the cheapest that we paid. Everything was really comfortable, it’s was spotless, the staff were friendly and even patient with our terrible Spanish (they spoke English too). Would not hesitate to stay there again

Nice hostel, but not very social
Nice hostel, comfy bed, fresh linens, very clean. Great location in the Old Town, just half a block from the sea and the Rambla, not far from the Mercado. Breakfast was very good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The common room has only one couch, mostly tables and chairs, so it's not an inviting place to sit and visit, and there was never anything to attract people to socialize (no tv, movies, games) and there were no walking tours or other activities, so if you're looking for a social hostel, this isn't the one. Those of us trying to work in the common room had to share two outlets and sit in wooden dining chairs. No kitchen facilities were available to us, either

A firm that'll worth 5-star
I've never rated a dorm 5-star because all the dorms I've stayed before are basic, packed and somebody even unkempt. But this is so different. It's airy, the decor is modern and colorful, morevto artistic expression. The room has less bunk beds making it spacious enough to move around. Even though there is no window in the room, the effect of a powerful but quiet air Cond made up for it. This the first time ever a firm provides the softest comforter and the bedsheets abdcpillow are super comfy. We were given a card key to open the firm door. The only complain is that whenever I have to go out, I have to make sure I remember to retrieve my card and replace with someone's card who is inside the room. if not, the electricity will be cut. I hope the hotel can stay this clean and upbeat forever. It's new, only open about a month ago. The wifi strength and coverage are excellent. I can't get it anywhere I went in the premises. And because of the well designed community room, I can do my work comfortably. It actually felt like a co working space. My highest recommendation for anyone looking for a place to stay in Montevideo.

Péssimo hostel.
Não recomendo este hostel de jeito nenhum Principalmente a equipe de atendimento, super grosseiros, sem disposição para ajudar ou te atender bem, sequer olham na sua cara. Gostaria de destacar uma moça loira, de óculos que fica na recepção durante as noites, que menina insuportável! Ela foi grossa com todos os hóspedes, conseguir ver várias pessoas reclamando do atendimento ruim e suas respostas grosseiras, uma ridícula! O hostel não tem uma geladeira, nem um fogão para fazer alguma refeição, onde já se viu isso? É um hostel! Não serve café da manhã, nem tem absolutamente nenhuma opção de nada para comprar. A cozinha fede a alguma carne que guardam lá, horrível. A única coisa boa neste hostel é a localização na Ciudad Vieja, fácil para ir a toda a capital. De resto, nada de bom!
