Preu Hostal — Hotel in Coyhaique

As a backpacker all of the hostels in Coyhaique are overpriced. This is one of the most affordable hostels in town and is still more than twice as expensive as many I have stayed at in other parts of south America. It is very new so much of the hostel seems to still be a work in progress (only three bathrooms, hot water that is hard to control, a kitchen missing important appliances or tools (they didn't have a can opener) and no lockers or any locks on rooms at all. Because of this, it did not make me feel like I was necessarily getting the service I was paying for (I feel it should cost half as much as it did).

That being said, I actually had a very pleasant stay there. Things are just expensive in this part of chile and once I got over the price tag I was so happy to have a warm dry place filled with friendly people as I had just been on the road and camping in the rain for multiple nights. This hostel does attract plenty of other travelers which makes it a great place to meet others and share experiences or find potential travel partners. The beds themselves are nice and quite comfortable (my standards are low as I had just been sleeping on the ground outside prior) and the communal space is big and has a large TV if that is something you enjoy.

Overall it was a pleasant break from being on the road, I just don't feel like it was worth...

The owner was very friendly and made his maximum for us to be comfortable. Thanks to him. The night was 15.000 per person in a dorm with 8 beds , with common spaces: 2 kitchens, several bathrooms with toilets, a ping pong table, a big tv, a sofa, the Wi-Fi, and some stuff for the breakfast, coffee and tea too. There is a space with benches where you can smoke. We spent 5 nights and the shower was cold sometimes, and the bathrooms upstairs was not very clean all the time but downstairs it was correct. We were a lot, the hostel was full, but they tried to help everyone. The entire city was without water during one day, but they did a lot to bring water and clean the hostel, and they were really sorry for the customers. The hostel is in construction, so not everything is perfect but you have all...

LA PEOR EXPERIENCIA DE MI VIDA! Pésimo lugar. Está en proceso de construcción (en bruto), las camas no son nada de abrigadas y las habitaciones son frías, las fundas de las almohadas no las lavan, la higiene de los baños es un asco (huelen muy mal) ni siquiera nos pudimos bañar de lo asqueroso que estaba, la cocina es un chiste. Lo único bueno es que los colchones se ven nuevos. El dueño es gentil, pero no basta para ser una buena hostal. Si no hubieramos pagado previamente la noche, no nos hubiéramos quedado nica. Menos mal fue sólo una noche. El colmo fue que por las remodelaciones cortaron la luz a las 8 de la tarde durante dos horas y la puerta de la habitación se notaba que había sido forzada porque estaba rota. Se escucha todo porque las paredes no aíslan el sonido (escuché los ronquidos de la pieza del lado toda la noche), hay música, martillazos y ruidos molestos hasta altas horas de la noche porque al perecer se hospedan trabajadores. Al retirarnos por fin del lugar, había un tipo campamento en la "recepción", eran como 20 tipos acampando literalmente en sacos de dormir. Realmente era todo un asco e impresentable. Pésima experiencia. Hubiera dormido mil veces mejor en el terminal de buses. No lo recomiendo para nada. Pd: en la habitación había un forado que daba a una...
