This 'hostel' has no kitchen to use, the only time you can is if they ask you to clean your own breakfast. There were no other guests during the time of our stay, but it was still very noisie, because of staff itself that seemed to forget that there were still a few people in their place that wanted to...

This was one of the worst hostels we have seen in Chile. We booked a dorm, but there were just 9 persons dorms left. We could climb to the 3rd bed, but that was really high. There were not enough lockers to put your stuff in and the smell was awful. On the website and Lonely Planet they say you... More

Nice old building. Amazing friendly staff but I am Australian so not very high maintainace. Appreciated it for what it was. Comfy beds. Breakfast provided was fresh and they had coffee!! Not far from the beach and one block from a supermarket. Good value for money. A must stay!!

The vibe is good, lots of travellers and nice outdoor area to eat bfast and have drinks BUT dorms stuffy, beds uncomfortable and even a rolled up towel was more comfy than the pillow. Bathrooms are not very private either, just a shower curtain between you and the outside world.

I found that in my travels through Chile the more north I went in the country, the cheaper things got. Luckily I found Hostel La Casona to save my last pesos! For the price I thought the rooms, beds and bathrooms were decent and clean enough. I saw people working and cleaning throughout the day. The staff was very friendly... More

I stayed for about a week at La Casona. I was really glad I chose it. The thing I liked the most was the ambience. I met some amazing people that really made my whole trip to Iquique worth while. Good mix of South American travelers and Europeans and other English speakers. The location is good, just a short walk... More

We stayed only one night in this Hostel, and unfortunately found smelly rooms and beds, as well as dirty bathrooms, wich also were far to small on the ground floor. Moreover while having breakfast we saw the Cleaning personal wash their dirty cleaning stuff next to the clean dishes which made us drop our breakfast immediately.

After staying in a hotel for the previous night and getting completely ripped off I was ready to leave Iquique, luckily I found La Casona and stayed.
