This hostel is simply great - The beds are comfy and everyone has his own electricity socket - The shared bathrooms are perfectly distributed: the shower, toilet and the sink are separated so you can have 3 people from your room doing their things at the same time. And there are toiletries. - breakfast is great (they have eggs!) - the staff is helpful and attentive, I dealt with the morning shift mainly and Alan is a star! - the common areas give both a chance to socialise or chill

The receptionists were incredibly helpful. Our bus was cancelled as vehicles were restricted from travelling due to high winds. Adriana and the other receptionists went way beyond the call of duty to help us figure out a solution for getting to our Puerto Natales on time for our flights next day. They spent hours of their time with us.

    The staff were really helpful and friendly and helped us to book a tour to the glacier with them for cheaper than we had found online, and a taxi to the bus station. The hostel was well maintained and very clean. They provided free coffee and some basic cooking items such as oil. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and crockery - perfect for us as we cooked all of our meals during our stay.

    Perfect location for the bus and not far from the centre of the town. Great helpful staff. Able to organise trips and buses to other destinations (they are also a tour company). Always being cleaned and shared kitchen for a hostel was very clean. Food box for guests to leave excess food for other guests to use. They responded immediately to a problem with a leak in the bathroom.

    This property was amazing. Such a great location, close to town and easy to get about both in the day and late in the evening. Very clean and lots of facilities in the kitchen to use which was great. Florencia is a fab host so helpful and friendly. When our flight was delayed she let us stay longer and we were very grateful!

    This hostel was very clean, to be honest I wasn't expecting much because it was the cheapest hostel I could find, but it was perfect for me. My only suggestion would be to say that it would be great to have a little shelf so if you are on the upper bunk you have somewhere to put your phone / wallet. The wifi was super fast and the kitchen was spotless. I'll definitely return.
