Lugar donde se quedan muchas personas de paso, genial para conocer a otros. Quiza tienen un poco de desorden en cuanto a las camas, los huespedes tampoco ayudan, la limpieza es buena sin embargo no es increible, y en una habitacion compartida falta algo para poder secar el piso o algo asi

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!

Hotel with hostel amenities

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
