    The best hostel I stayed in. It was very clean, well equipped and the rooms are well appointed. The hosts are super nice and helpful, they explained so much to me on what I could do and what my options were depending on what I was looking for.

    I honestly liked everything! The hosts Edgardo and David are super kind and helpful, they genuinely care about you enjoying your time in Vicuna and Valle Elqui. They gave me a lot of recommendations about things to do. The facilities are great, all clean and convenient. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Hot clean shower. The bed was super comfortable. The location is great, 5 mins walk from the bus station and next to a handful of restaurants. Very quiet at night.

    A very nice hostel with such a beautiful atmosphere that I extended my stay to rest and enjoy the garden and the other nice spaces of the hostel. Very clean, comfortable, modern bathrooms, little attentions like tea, coffee, water in the spacious, well equipped common kitchen and beautiful soft sheets on the beds. Laundry service available as well. The owner is also exceptionally nice and helpful, available, thoughtful and speaks perfect English.

    Amazing Hostel! One of the best places I have ever stayed in. Everything is super clean, the beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is fully equipped. A perfect place to cook your own meal. There is even Netflix in the common area if you want to spend a chilled evening. The owner Edgardo is super friendly! He recommended me places to go and things to do. You can always ask him for advice/ help. I loved my stay at this hostel! Thanks for everything 😍

    No hooks in bedroom for hanging coats or towels, but owner said he would take this into consideration.

    Lovely hostel where great care has been taken. First time we have seen wheelchair acess to toilets and showers. Recycling facility in well stocked kitchen (including ovens, hobs, kettles, toasters, fridge/freezers etc.) Plenty of shared indoor and outdoor space. Although only shared toilets and showers they were very plentiful and spotlessly clean. Lovely, friendly owner who has lots of local knowledge and advice.

    All perfect !

    Thank you very much for the lovely welcoming. Edgardo welcomes everyone as if they were at home, vas very exciting histories to tell and takes care of everything so that everybody is happy. It’s very quiet and tidy here, the Perfect Place to stop to take a deep breath and find peace and cocentration. It is very cosy (especially the sheets of the beds are super soft). For me it was a good spot to continue working in my thesis.

    The only problem is that you wont want to leave! I kept extending my stay.

    This was a little piece of heaven; clean, calm, relaxing, well-equipped kitchen and convenient’y located. The owner, Edgardo, is literally an angel. I highly recommend this hostel. One of the best places I have been.

    Nothing major that affected my stay. No keys given to entrance door, but I guess that’s good for security. Very hot in dorms, as day temps 30oC, but fan available.

    The whole place is spacious, including the dorms, outside areas, shared areas & bathrooms. There is a choice of places to relax, inside & out & somewhere to do laundry & hang clothes.
