Liked: Great place, feels more like a B&B than a hostel. Freshly squeezed juice in the morning. Warm bed spreads and spacious rooms.

Disliked: Could use some heat in the morning and hand soap in the bathroom.

Liked: The hostel is incredibly well-maintained and the it is run by a wonderful and entertaining family. During our stay my sister and I were invited to join in the host's birthday party which he was holding in the backyard where we met his family and friends and tasted delicious Chilean grilled meats. In the morning we were served the best breakfast of our stay in Chile, including freshly made smoothies. The kitchen was also open for our use.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike! It's a short walk away from the main square of town (about five minutes), which helps keep down the street noise at night.

Liked: The staff was friendly. The room was big, light and clean and the bathroom too. The breakfast was GREAT with homemade jams, fresh juices and real colombian coffee. It's a quiet place, so if you want to met people it's not the best place, but absolutely a nice place to stay if you like calm

Disliked: Nothing really
