  What else ...

  Our hostel is only 3 blocks from Plaza Matriz, the heart of Montevideo, with its Cathedral and Cabildo (its colonial Government House). Most sights are on your doorstep!
  
  This part of Montevideo, known as Ciudad Vieja (the Old Town) is home to nearly all its historic buildings, museums and sights. It also offers a wealth of bars, restaurants, night clubs, art galleries, shops and more - and, of course, Uruguay's most important theatre, Teatro Solís. So most daytime and nighttime activities will be just a short stroll away!
