Liked: Es un hostel pequeño pero a su vez brinda la oportunidad de conocer a otros huespedes y a gente del lugar. Todos lo que trabajan en el son muy atentos... es recomendable. Organizan actividades fuera como dentro del hostel.

Disliked: nada en particular

Liked: Great local information - your own map complete with restaurants and sights plus descriptions of those restaurants on a public board. Up to date bus times also on display. Rooms are modern, clean and spacious. Beers and drinks available. Good wifi downstairs.

Disliked: We booked a double bed but were given a twin bed. Not the end of the world though as we pushed them together and were given a CP$5000 discount for the inconvenience which was nice.

Liked: I can easily say that Hoatel Trail is one of the best hostels I ve been in here in South America... Its located only few blocks from the main square, the owner was really nice, there is always someone at the desk who you can ask for advice, all the infos you need about town and places around you can get here... I really enjoyed staying here... :)

Disliked: hmmm... its really hard to say cause I really had only experience with Hoatel Trail...

Liked: A lot ...! A place for travelers, kitchen, huge shared bathroom, the huge TV/video room. The free coffee :-) Easy access to buy some drinks. The staff are the BEST!! I was sick and had to go to hospital at 1AM. They were really helpful, the next day the rest of the staff know me ( the sick girl ) and when I moved to single room, the cleaning lady just grab my backpack and walk upstairs to help me. Oh don't forget Ally.. my favorite dog in the whole world.

Disliked: The only downside it the hostel is right in the middle of the junction, noisy at night with the cars. We experienced at one night...

Liked: Having stayed in dozens of hostels, I have to say that it really wasn't a 90%+ hostel... for that sort of a rating I'd expect miracles and they just weren't there. That being said it wasn't bad at all, and the staff were super friendly!

Disliked: The kitchen was pretty grotty, and the rooms are right next to two very large roads so once the traffic starts int he morning that's the end of your sleep. Not a lot in the way of character or vibe...
