Lodge Andes — Hotel in Lo Barnechea

Lodge Andes is great spot if you are on a budget. When i was there I was charged 37,000 Pesos. This included a light breakfast and a nice large dinner after day on the slopes. They also have afternoon tea and coffee in the afternoon. ||||The staff was very helpful. They even had gear for me to rent while I was there! Not the best gear but good enough for my time there. ||||The hostel is located 100 meters down the hill from Farellones. You can walk to Farellones and take the rope lifts to Colorado or take a bus to Colorado or the other resorts. The staff is very helpful in assisting with getting rides. ||||If you can recommend the dorm room upstairs. The room has it's own en suite bathroom. The rooms downstairs are don't have en suites and look a little older. Otherwise great place to unwind after a day on the slopes. The fireplace and the dinner really make one feel at home. ||||Pay online before otherwise they charge a 5%...

The staff at Lodge Andes were very sweet and helpful, but they spoke almost no English, so if you don't speak Spanish, communication is a really difficult. I was frustrated that I paid in cash up front, then when my plans changed and I gave notice that I was leaving a day early, the owner would not okay a refund. I was also frustrated that I booked a female only dorm room for 6 and it was actually an 8 bed co-ed room. The room was so tiny with 8 beds crammed in that we were practically on top of each other. Another woman in the room had also booked a female only, 6 bed room. Overall, I wouldn't stay here again although the 2 people on staff were really sweet and helpful. They were the only positive thing about this hostel even given the...
