The hostel is only a bus-ride down the main road to the centre of town and also the the bus terminal, which isnt expensive. We didnt see the streets of pocitos with shops and nightlife that were…
Overview
We are Martin & Nacho, two friends who met in Ireland in 2006. After travelling and working around we came back to Uruguay convinced that the best way to continue with our trip, getting to meet people from all around the world and new life stories would be by having our own hostel. That´s why we opened Pocitos Hostel in December 2008.
Our staff has been carefully selected; they are all very good friends of ours and even though they are young people (between 18 and 23) they surely are the best staff you'll ever meet and for sure will never forget.
The hostel is in the heart of 'Pocitos', the best neighborhood in which to stay in Montevideo. The house is unique and was built in the 1930´s by Bello & Reborati . It has big, light dorms and common areas.
Pocitos Hostel is an "all year-round hostel". Here, when days are cold you can enjoy listening to music, reading a good book from our library, having a drink, playing board games or just sharing a moment next to our fireplace!
Then, when the days are nice you can enjoy our backyard! Get a nice tan before going to Pocitos beach (2 min. walk) or just lie down on a hammock or an outdoor chair and forget about the world. Last but not least you cannot miss our "asado" nights with all the hostel staff and guests.
Our beautiful house, the opportunities at the hostel, the neighborhood and our great service will make of your visit to Montevideo, a special stay. We are proud and happy to say (as some backpackers said) that Pocitos Hostel is 'a home away from home'.
See you soon…
Location Information

We are near...
The amazing Riviera which Montevideans love and use for exercise, walking and to spend time drinking "mate" (beverage made from steeping the leaves of the mate bush in hot water) particularly at sunset. Visitors can sunbath at Pocitos' beach and swim in its fresh waters. Pocitos Hostel is a one minute walk from the beach.
Also Pocitos has the city's best and most popular pubs, restaurants, grill houses and cafes in which you will have the opportunity of tasting traditional Uruguayan roast beef, exquisite foreign meals or just go out for a few beers, enjoy musical shows and dance till dawn. Given Pocitos Hostel's strategic location, right in the center of the neighborhood, everything is no more than a 10 minutes walk away.
