A beautiful city! It was a great surprise to know Montevideo and I recommend everybody to do the same. You won't regret it.
Montevideo does not allow smoking in enclosed spaces -- all stores, restaurants, cafes, and buses. Gaelic Cafe on Rincon/Ciudadela has a good upstairs for a late afternoon coffee. Parque Laroche by park Rodo and the park at Vazquez Ledesma have weekend markets.

Planet Montevideo Hostel in Montevideo … They have a problem with men peeping into the womens dorm i was in through peepholes in an closed interconnecting door. Staff taped it up, but evidence of old tape, not putting something solid up to prevent this, and the casual "no problem, i'll get the tape" of staff suggests this is an ongoing problem. Otherwise it has clean showers/toilets with a locking door. Also a strictly enforced rule of silence after 1:30 a.m. There is a small TV room/lounge downstairs, and an eating area, with small tables, two computers, and a very small bar/kitchen area. Breakfast is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. There were mostly men there.
Red Hostel Montevideo in Montevideo … I found this hostel to be expensive. They advertised a bed in the female dorm on this website for US$12. I made a reservation and paid the deposit to find that they charged a $3 service fee, and also, at the hostel they had their own high exchange rate. Instead of the going rate of 22/21 dollars to the peso, advertised in all banks and exchange places, they charged 25. I argued with them to no avail. I have no problem with a place charging 14 or 15 dollars if they advertise it openly. I was expecting to be charged much less. In total I paid about 18/19 for my bed. The hostel was also not very clean and the foams on the bed are very thin.
Hotel Arapey in Montevideo … Nice, clean, centrally located hotel. I also liked the artsy, vintage decor and feel of the place. The staff are very helpful and friendly and I felt very safe having someone at the front desk 24 hours a day.
