The Trip Hostel

Craziest staff ever, mainly Rodrigo from MX who asked to mention him in this review. Hostel is 5 min walk from bus station, you can reach 2 different beaches in 10 min. Best dulce de leche for breakfast.

The best parts about this hostel were the staff and the location. The guys that worked here welcomed me as a brother and answered every question I had. They also hang around a lot, which is nice for solo travelers- unfortunately I was just worn out after walking 10-13 miles per day so I went to bed early. The location is awesome- I was able to walk everywhere that I wanted to go and it is RIGHT next to the bus station, which helps! If I return to PDE, I will be happy to stay here again.

The only thing I can think to complain about is that if there were other people in my room (I was alone, thankfully), the space would have been pretty cramped. Very mild inconvenience. The heater in my room also did not work so well but I am positive that if I had talked with the staff about this, they would certainly have resolved my issues. This hostel is a great value.

Solid hostel! Amazing staff - cheers Rodrigo Upgraded to a 4man room to myself Wifi didnt work in the rooms but solid in the common areas Free bike hire Surf boards to rent 3mins from the bus terminal Good size kitchen TV with Cable for GOT Nice common area, bar but can BYOB Staff again really helpful and friendly Very chilled and relaxing - again Uruguay isnt busy atm so was only a handful of guests Breakfast is basic, bread, jam and coffee Room only had 1 power socket Bathroom door handle missing Met lots of travellers going or coming from Punta del Diablo and pinged ideas and suggestions across But deffo would reccomend, and I'd still reccomend now in low season as the guys are great and your 5mins from the beach
