El Rincon Marino — Hotel in Valparaíso

We stayed here a few nights before our cruise. Four blocks from the bus terminal and 5 blocks from the cruise terminal. One can not get any closer than this! We had a spacious room with private fascilities, breakfast, internet for an unbeleavable price. We booked the accommodation from Australia and were very pleasantly surprised when we got here. The owner gave us a run-down of places to visit and not to visit. The breakfast is adequate and more than many Wingers would get back , at home. We felt very secure in a home type atmosphere. The staff is extremely helpfull, yet they do not speak any English. We speak five languages and none of them is Spanish and we got on very well. If you come from the part of the world where you think the whole universe (and all other gallaxies) speak english (with an American accent) than go to Florida to wake up!||Place, Location, Price... you can not beat it! If you want something like you have at home...

We stayed here for a few days in May. The place was quite empty and it felt as if it had known better times. We were offered a very big room with a nice and confortable bed that was probably the highlight of our stay. The shared bathroom was OK, decently clean. The shared kitchen was pretty basic but functional and clean. Breakfast is not included in the price and, for what we could gather, not worth paying the extra 2.000 CLP. Finally, the staff were correct and nice, but not overwhelmingly enthusiasts. ||||Also, it is close to bus station (2 blocks away) but a short 10 minute walk to the touristic center. We left with mixed feelings. I don't regret having stayed here but if I was to return to Valparaiso I would probably check out some...

We only stopped here for one night so we weren't too bothered about where we stayed, but this hostel did the job for us. We had a large double room with a TV and a comfortable bed. It was nice and quiet at night.||||The shared bathroom was a bit dated but it had hot water and everything worked fine. The kitchen is pretty small, but we used it to cook a microwave meal and ate at the table in our room. Breakfast was nothing special, but was all we needed. There was decent wifi throughout the hostel and it was only a short walk into the town centre. The staff were nice and helpful but didn't speak...
