Traveling from Valparaiso on a holiday weekend everywhere central was booked. We made an emergency booking at Punto Urbano for 3 nights from 1 November with some trepidation. We arrived late after delays on the Valparaiso bus. We had the normal problems our Spanish is poor and the staff spoke little English; However we were greeted warmly and showed to... More

Good choice of rooms priced accordingly. The woman on reception was quite helpful. We booked as a walk-in and negotiated to stay in a clean, air-conditioned double room over the November holiday weekend. There was plenty of storage in the kitchen/fridges and the spacious private garden was pleasant.

Had the misfortune of staying in this dump for 2 nights as we couldn't get in anywhere else due to the national holiday weekend. On arrival, we were greeted by an arrogant, patronising man who didn't speak any English. He refused to help us with our heavy bags. They didn't have the room we booked. No towels. Dirty room, filthy... More

Run down hostel. Room dim and smelling of cigarettes and ashtrays. Breakfast was stale bread and bad coffee. The hotel locstion was pretty far from the main area of town,But the desk was helpful and there was wifi we used.

We found the hostel to be quiet and clean, with nice spacious dining area, lounge and kitchen as well as computer roon. It is located close to the major attractions in downtown Mendoza. Neighbourhood is safe and provides all amenities. Staff speak English and were very helpful.

I visited Punto Urbano in August 2010 and was planning to stay for 3 days but only stayed for one day. The hostel has a good location but the same cannot be said of the rooms. The rooms are very small with bathrooms down the corridor. The first room offered to us was right at the entrance of the corridor... More
