This was an awesome place to stay for a number of reasons. It is located right across the street from an awesome, beautiful beach and if you walk left along the beach, you have an incredible beach walk for as long as you want. It's 6k to get to Punta de Lobos which is completely possible. There are also free bikes included (which were not the best quality but worked) if you want to go by road. It's less than a 5-min walk in the other direction to get to the main beach, tons of surf schools, tons of food, etc. The downtown area is about a 10-min walk. The hostel itself is super cool--they were SUPER thoughtful and added a small room on the the top of EACH room that you get to by a ladder with a bed in it so you have a birds-eye view of the ocean. The rooms are also lovely and have hot water in their showers, etc. Super comfy beds. Marcel is the owner of the hostel and makes you your own breakfast every morning. He is absolutely great and will give you tons of ideas for what to do as well as discounts to a specific surf school and free entry into a night club. He is super down-to-earth and helpful. He's Dutch and speaks English and Spanish perfectly. The restaurant across the street has hammocks and a great atmosphere also. I really can't say enough. It was a wonderful stay with my partner and we had everything we needed. One note--the office for the hostel is located across the street in the restaurant Puente Holandes (where you get breakfast, etc). Thanks, Marcel and Natalia,...
Read moreI would not recommend this place. All in all it was ok - the rooms are very small, but fine, if you plan to stay only for few nights. BUT: the name is misleading - it is not a hostal, also it has nothing in common with surfing. The most strange thing - in such a lovely country with so friendly people, it is somehow an ok place, but without any love … an example is the breakfast: two breads, one small package of butter and two pieces of cheese … everything ok - but there was not even milk for the coffee and the host was not interested in organizing some… better choose an other place with...

Una gran decepción, las habitaciones demasiado pequeñas para el valor en cuestión $60.000 incluyendo "desayuno".
Las habitaciones: Si tienes una talla entre 1.20 Mts y 1.30 es lo ideal, pero si mides entre 1.50 a 1.80 es terrible, en las fotografías se ven las camas desde un ángulo que da a entender una mayor amplitud de la habitación, pero no es la realidad.
El desayuno es una vergüenza, el dueño el holandés es quién te entrega tu desayuno, con 2 láminas de queso cortado en 3 o 2 dependiendo del día, un vaso de jugo en polvo dependiendo del di ya que el último día ni siquiera había jugo, un yogur marca A CUENTA! Otro día había otro yogur y ya están a vencido marca soprole, fecha de vencimiento 9 de mayo y ya estábamos a 23 de mayo... Realmente no recomiendo este lugar, no vale la pena el precio versus la calidad, yogurt vencido, una lámina de queso cortada entres, dos trocitos de jamón y huevos revueltos más secos que los pies de un atleta... Pésimo servicio.... El dueño holandés no puede hacerse el desentendido con la calidad de los productos ya que lleva más de 10 años en Chile por lo cual ya tiene más que claro los servicios que entrega a los clientes, es una lástima que al parecer a adoptado medidas de tacaño ya que en Europa jamás se atendería así a los clientes.
A todo esto debo acotar que ahora muchos locales se abstienen del aseo de limpieza y finalmente es solo para ahorrar pagar el servicio a terceras personas, ya que nadie te ha tomado la temperatura al llegar al local, menos en el restaurante y para que decir el...
