Awesome breakfast, awesome staff

Super kind owner who really values honest conversation. very welcoming and helped me out a ton with finding things to do and planning things in La Serena. Place was also very clean and walkable to other areas. The breakfast was so good, filling, and simple that I recreated it back at home.

I had a fantastic stay at the hostal. Marcelo is an incredible host. I’m someone with almost zero travel experience and I’m terrible at planning. Marcelo knows a lot about the area and if you have any questions ask him. Also the hostal is a 4 minute walk from the bus terminal.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The host was absolutely excellent, really nice even opening dining room for an early breakfast as we had a bus to catch to Santiago at the nearby terminal 5 minute walk. The walls are thin and we could here conversation from 2 different rooms. There is only liquid soap provided and 2 small ancient raggedy towels, so the high review score seems totally incorrect.

On ne peux mieux espérer comme hostal

Qualité prix très élevé. Service dévoué : conseils de visites. Le patron m'a emmené visiter Coquimbo. On ne peux espérer mieux. Très sympathique. Petit déjeuner bon. Chambres organisées autour d'un petit patio. Calme. Grande chambre avec un grand lit confortable. La douche est commune mais très grande et propre. Bien situé entre la station des bus et le centre ville (10-15mn)

Me encanta esta hostal/Love this hostel.

Marcelo está un dueño muy simpático. Recomiendo tomar el tiempo para charlar con él. Las habitaciones son muy limpias y limpiadas cada día. Hay netflix en la televisión. Los desayunos son grandes (huevos, pan, jamón y queso, yogur). Hay un árbol muy lindo en la terraza. Sólo un baño compartido (no entre mucho gente). Un lugar simple con todos las cosas importantes hecho muy bien. Marcelo is a lovely host, totally recommend chatting with him. The rooms are clean and cleaned daily. The room TV has netflix. they have big breakfasts (eggs, bread, ham, cheese, yogurt). There is only one shared bathroom (but not shared between loads of people). A simple place to stay with all the important things done well.
