This is a really neat and stylish hostel. Everything was constantly kept clean and tidy. Rooms were in great shape with modern equipment, comfortable and warm. The kitchen is spacious and provides plenty of everything for cooking and food storage. There is also a coffee machine and free tea. Best of all is the host who was super friendly and helpful. He provided us with great recommendations for daily trips around the island, what to visit, how to get there, popular highlights and germs off the beaten track. His effort was just amazing. We enjoyed our stay here very much. During 8 months of travels this was one of the best hostels we stayed at, and we would come back to the place at any time.

The house is very pretty and everything clean! Communication was uncomplicated and the hosts helped us with every question we had. We could use the kitchen. Just down the hill from the city and therefore very peaceful.

This wonderful family run hotel is an absolute gem. Built on stilts it is is constructed from restored used wood, is tastefully decorated to reflect Chilean arts and crafts and to calm the weary traveller, with lovely bedrooms facing the river and access to a kitchen as well as a delightful independent restaurant and balcony area on the third floor which all guests should take advantage of. We were treated to the best breakfast of our 3 week trip to Chile, the freshest of fruit, yoghurt, eggs, ham, cheese, juice, bread all prepared especially for us. But to top it off and most invaluable was the wonderful Helena and her family who took care of our every need and there were many! She made sure we could access our bedrooms early after a gruelling 16 hour overnight ferry from Puerto Cisnes and was our translator for many other little dramas that pursued us during our stay as two non-spanish speaking women. Thank you Helena!
