Lock in a great price for Balconada Beach Hostel – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

Good bargain during off season (end of April). Beach is very near. Nice common room facing the dunes.

Traveller, Germany

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a decent size for a private room in a hostel. Breakfast was great and so was our dinner at the restaurant. Great location near the beach also. Everything was tidy and would stay again.

Georgia, New Zealand

Nice welcoming you. Good place to go at the beach! And great atmosphere.

Antoine, France

- Very friendly staff at check in. She asked how my trip was, where I was coming from, and answered all my questions. - Nice living area upstairs with a few couches and a nice patio, as well as outlets and good wifi. - Amazing location. 50 meters from the beach at most. - Bathrooms / showers were large.

Brian, Ecuador

The Location is perfect, in front of the beach, and near everything. It has a strong Wi-Fi Connection, never experienced an issue. The Staff is amazing, Serena and Stefania were really helpful and polite, i would come back for sure. Thanks for everything!

Serena was a super welcoming and friendly person to arrive to. Place was clean, good kitchen well setup for cooking.

Tyler, Canada

Nice hostel across the road from the beach. Room was really nice and breakfast was very good.

Andrew, United Kingdom

I booked a private room with a private bathroom and I can stay that I felt like in a hotel. It was very neatly decorated and very clean. Breakfast in La Balconada was the best I experienced in a month's travelling. Freshly cut fruits, tasty pastry and finally good coffee. The location is just great - right on the beach. With an excellent restaurant across the street. The best thing about the hostel are the people who work here and who run all business. They do it with love and passion so you really feel comfortable and like at home. Cristian at the front desk goes beyond and above to provide assistance and great experience. The ladies at the bar cook the best food ever. It's all home made right there in front of you - very simple but it's like your mom has prepared it. And it's fairly inexpensive considering the prices in Uruguay. Thank you for everything!

Balconada beach hostel was one of the only hostels listed on booking.com, so despite the slighter higher price, I booked. The staff were absolutely exceptional. The lady on the check in desk was really friendly and spoke good English. A special mention must go to the 2 ladies on the bar/kitchen. Both were really friendly and also spoke excellent English. My girlfriend is a coeliac and they understood this and were able to do her a naked burger for lunch etc. However they went one step beyond and actually went out specially in the afternoon to the supermarket to purchase rice noodles to enable them to cook her an special gluten free dinner (as the dinner that evening was gnocchi, which she couldn’t eat). In no way did we expect this gesture and it really meant a lot to us. They even went out and bought wine specially also. 10/10 to the staff who honestly went above and beyond. All there really is to do in La Paloma is the beach and stunning sunset. The hostel is located on the beach front so the location is perfect. The hostel itself is clean, has its own kitchen where you can cook your own food. Breakfast is included in the room price also. They have a modernised communal living space with a TV and balcony overlooking the sand dunes. Overall I can not rate this place highly enough. We were only there for 1 night and now wish our stay was longer. Thank you!

You cannot charge this price for accomodation just because it’s peak season and not provide quality.

- Felt a bit more like a hotel than a hostel, which I think is the nature of La Paloma. There are families, older travelers, couples, and not many solo travelers or backpackers. I do not blame the hostel for this - I think it is simply the draw of the town.
- Very friendly staff at check in. She asked how my trip was, where I was coming from, and answered all my questions. - Nice living area upstairs with a few couches and a nice patio, as well as outlets and good wifi. - Amazing location. 50 meters from the beach at most. - Bathrooms / showers were large.

The private room is not really equipped. The light is poor, there's no place to hang or store cloth, there's no place to put your soap and shampoo. The walls are really thin and you can hear everything that happens in the hostel. Price is really high vs what you get
