Restful stay in a laid back hostel

This was such a chill and great place to relax. The owner Claudio is very welcoming and the hostel is very sociable. Location is great for all things needed in Arica and the place is run by volunteers which gives it a real community feeling. Really recommend this place to anyone wanting some downtime between travels and a wholesome hostel experience. Muchas gracias por todo!

Short and Sweet

We arrived very early and they let us store our bags there while we explored the city. They even offered us breakfast even though we hadn't checked in yet and allowed us Wifi access. There were plenty of toilets available and the showers were hotter than hot. Our room was spacious with storage, and the bed was comfortable and warm. There was an amazing outdoor communal space with a fire pit. There was plenty of wildlife to see, including hummingbirds.

Cute hostel with an ideal location

Cute hostel with a lovely garden and very helpful owner and volunteers. It's located a short walk away from one of the main streets of the city, but far enough to provide a quiet environment.

Incredible environment

La posada del gallo is one of the best hostel where I have ever been. The garden is amazing and the environment is automatically bringing you to socialize with other people. The owners and the voluntary staff was so amazing that it was difficult to leave. Thanks to all of you

Hippyish hostel under the mountain

The owner was exceedingly helpful in arranging a tour for us. The volunteer staff were friendly and helpful too. Washing clothes was available for a nominal fee. We were allowed to stay in the grounds after checkout for most of the day. A lovely coffee shop on site, which also provided food if required. Limited book swap available. There were two kitchens, with ovens, hobs, fridge etc and quite well stocked with pans , plates etc. Within easy walking distance to the Morro, town center, beaches, ports and museums. Half hour walk to bus terminal or $2-3 for taxi.

Owners are super friendly and the huge garden is lovely. I think it was low season because there was hardly anyone around but it was very peaceful and the kitchen was very well equipped.
