An amazing experience, I paid extra for a room with a balcony and it was worth it. The accommodation is beautiful, the staff are great, and it's 10-15 minutes to the center. Hot water without any problems, parking on the street.

The hostal is one of the traditional palafito buildings in Castro. Despite being constructed entirely of wood it is surprisingly quiet inside and you don't really hear other people at all. It is a small very friendly place and staff are very welcoming and helpful. The room had a lovely balcony with seaview and was very light and airy. It was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was rather of the old fashioned type but everything worked perfectly. It's definitely worth booking the rooms with a balcony as you get the best view of the estuary throughout the day. The breakfast was very good with home made products and food cooked to order. I would definitely recommend this hostal to others.

A wonderful location in the center of Chiloè

The hostel is placed in a wonderful part of the city, a bay with all these palafitos. The hostel has a kitchen that you can use to prepare your meals and a wonderful terrace just outside the kitchen and few meters above sea level.

Amazing little hotel!

This is a great place to stay in Castro. Nice location, great staff, in particular Pamela was amazingly helful and kind, very comfortable beds, nice breakfast and beautifully decorated common areas. The two rooms with views on the bay are also beautiful, the other rooms have not the same charm but are very convenient. We loved this place and would come back any time!

Staff, breakfast and view all superb!

After a long day, it was very pleasant to be welcomed by such a friendly staff with such energy. The rooms were perfect for what we needed with super comfortable beds. As every other review says, the breakfast is fantastic, the homemade bread and marmalade were delicious! With a superb view to enjoy it from. To note: There is a communal kitchen area for potential simple cooking and a terrace to enjoy the view. Finally, I was able to do well-needed laundry in the evening and have it back early morning. Superb!
