Alright visit

The hostel was alright - don’t put your expectations to high. The room was not cleaned very well but at least the bed looked clean. Also the room there worn. Most of the staff was alright - but especially one from the staff where more busy smoking marijuana than doing her job.

Terrible experiencia

Apenas llegué al hotel para hacer el check in y en mucho en la recepción solo me mirabu sigue hablando con los amigos. Le dijeron los amigos, atendélo por qué aún sabiendo que estaba ahí , no me atendía y uno en forma de chiste me dice que me va a atender cundo termine su té, refiriéndose al muchacho de la recepción. Al fin me atiende y mi pasaporte tiene un estuche que es de otro país y de mala manera me dice que el pasaporte tiene que estar con el estuche del país que es mientras lo deja colgar agarrando de la hija de la.fotografia la.cual.se pudo haber roto y dejarme en serios problemas ya que al otro día tenía un vuelo. Le comento que soy compatriota y te textualmente me dice ( pero seguro que sos de provincia de forma burlona y con mirada de desprecio) eso fue lo peor. Luego cada ves que lo atendía me miraba como si fuera un indigente y que el me estaba haciendo un favor al atenderme. Los otros inquilinos llegaban a cualquier hora y el último llegó a las 3 de la mañana borracho y dese ahí ya no pude dormir. Terrible experiencia. No volvería a visitar ese lugar. Por suerte solo pasaba una noche por qué el baño dejaba mucho que desear ya que estaban las pertenencias de los otros inquilinos regadas por todos lado, con el baño sucio y opté por no usarlo.

Ich war in Medellin und Buenos Aires ebenfalls im Viajero, leider muss ich sagen, dass dieses in Montevideo für mich unter dem gewohnten Durchschnitt liegt.
