Eduardo, the owner, of this unconventional backpacker hostel, is helpful and caring. We stayed for a few days in December 2010, as part of a 3 months South American trekking trip. The first few days we were in a co-ed bunk room downstairs. When a more private option became available he invited us to move upstairs and kept the room... More

We paid 12,000 for a double room, which is less than half we have paid anywhere else in 3 months in Chile. We adjusted our expectations because of the price and were pleasantly suprised. Clean room with big cupboard, great wifi in rooms, a tv, and a kitchen. Hostel sleeps 18 + campers, capacity in kitchen is about 6 so... More

Visit this hostel if you're in Punta Arenas and want to have a outstanding "value for money"-deal. The very friendly owner Eduardo, takes his time to explain you all the whereabouts regarding Punta Arenas. They have one shared dorm of 4 persons and private rooms. The rooms and the bathroom is clean, the interior is very cozy, the kitchen is... More

Although a bit out of town it is an excellent place to stay. Very homely and clean rooms, warm, bathrooms with power showers and a very friendly host! He serves one of the best breakfasts in all of Chile. You won't go hungry and his omelettes are delicious. The price is very reasonable, making this best possible value for money!

Even if this hostel is not in the center of the city, it was excellent. The best breakfast I´ve ever had in a hostel, confortable rooms, clean and new bathrooms and a very reasonable price! Edouardo will provide you all the info you need for your travel.

Nice clean hostal with very modern showers and bathrooms. Well heated. 4 computer stations available with wifi also. Eduardo makes the experience. He is easy going, friendly, and very helpful as well as knowledgable in all things Punta Arenas. His spanish was understandable and he could make sense of my terrible español. I can't imagine finding a better value in... More

We wanted to see whales in Punta Arenas and Eduardo gave us a great tip! He told us we could leave with a small boat to see whales and much cheaper then Whalesound, it was a great experience and came back after three days. You go to the same area as Whalesound so don't hesitate if you have the opportunity!

My partner and I stayed (camping in the garden as we're cycle touring, which worked out cheaper than the main hostel) earlier this year. Eduardo really 'makes' the experience, as he's extremely friendly and helpful, even while he's rushing about dealing with other guests, cleaning, sorting out the computers, etc. It's very impressive. It's not the swankiest place, and is... More

The hostel was very nice, with clean rooms. There were only two bathrooms, so you had to wait for one, from time to time. The hostel had a very nice charm, and the host did everything he could to help you out with everything. He even talked very slowly to make sure you got what he was saying. He makes... More

While this may have not have been the most beautiful place/hostel I have ever stayed in, I would definitely recommend it for a few reasons. First, Eduardo (sp?) was absolutely wonderful. I traveled down with a few friends to Patagonia last minute, and had not done too much research so missed a few key things (such as making sure to... More
