Hostal Bulnes — Hotel in Punta Arenas

we stayed in Residential Bulnes 2 nights in early Febuary. Before arriving we had sent an email, asking the reception to look out for a recommended letter arriving there for us. The reception (the son of the family) kindly answered that it would be done.||Arriving there it turned out that the location was somewhat further from the center than assumed. Oh well. We got our room, which turned out to be quite small and not too clean. The hostel happened to be the home of a family with a grown up English speaking sympathetic son and his elderly parents. Nice enough, apaart from the fact that we felt we were intruding and restrained ourselves from moving around in thet house. The house. by the way, way fascinating; it appeared as a countryside home from the 70ties, and we liked that. ||The booking.com info promised breakfast from 8 to 10. But the house was still at 8; it didn't start untill 8.20. The breakfast was quite poor and insufficient in quality and quantity. A promised laundry service and shuttle service did not exist. The mother acted as an old nagging aunt that accuded me (injustly) for spilling red wine on a table cloth - treating me like a naughty little boy. My wife was ordered to turn off the light in the kitchen even if she had not been the last to leave the room. ||People ringing the door were occationally ignored on purpose.||For some reason my wife had problems breathing in the building. Astma provoking in some way? Bad wi fi.||I liked the building but not the "wicked aunt" and her household. I can not reccomend the establishment and I do not understand why it's...

We stayed for 2 nights and while we found the host to be extremely helpful, the property badly needs an upgrade. Our room was close to the Main Street and the hostel was right next to a bar and the Saturday night was exceptional loud up until 4am.|The bathroom was clean however the room definitely needs a heater and had a rather mouldy feel to it. The breakfast was good. In terms of location, it’s a 20 minute walk to the main centre in Punta Arenas and a 20 minute walk to the Duty free shopping centre where you can buy heaps of winter and hiking attire if you plan to visit...

I had a reservation at this hostel. Arrived at the place at around 6pm and rang the door bell several times and no one answered the door. Luckily I had a car so I was able to drive away and find another place to stay, as I would not want to be walking around that area.

The hostel looks really beat up from the outside. It's also quite far from town if you're a backpacker on foot.

I did not spend a night here but I would not recommend this place...
