Destino 26 Hostel

I was passing through Uruguay on my way to Brazil, and stumbled across this hidden gem. Being a English speaker with very little Spanish knowledge , it was refreshing in Montevideo to have some of the staff who could speak English. The only precaution is this hostel is quite 4:20 friendly. They staff smoke marijuana frequently as it is fully legal in Uruguay. So I do advise if you have issues with weed , perhaps don’t stay here, although there is no pressure to smoke. I met tonnes of great people , they have family style vibes and there’s smart tv with Netflix, where I couldn’t watch some American shows. The staff also mingle quite frequently with the travelers, there’s music and there’s always someone cooking. The location is farther from downtown but is right by the beach and has all the basic necessities . If you stay here Vinny and Lee were the stronger English speakers and were greatness people, however all of the staff were amazing!
