Palafito Hostel Chiloé

"The old palafito, with its terrace overlooking the water. The comfortable beds, and the lovely communal areas. Breakfast was superb!"

"There was no-one ever at reception during our 2 day stay, so no way of asking any questions about local buses, etc. It's a long, uphill walk into town, and it would helpful to know you can flag down a bus as it crosses the bridge. Maybe an information book? On our 2nd day, we had no hot water, but again, no one to pop down and speak to."

"An amazing experience, I paid extra for a room with a balcony and it was worth it. The accommodation is beautiful, the staff are great, and it's 10-15 minutes to the center. Hot water without any problems, parking on the street."

"Aucun."

"Beautiful view, friendly staff, quiet neighborhood but close to the city center and restaurants nearby."

"Curtains were not the best and the temperature of the bedroom when I got there was very low even though the heater was turned on later in the evening."

"Picturesque location. Excellent varied breakfast."

"Near impossible to get a constant temperature in shower, possibly due to on demand hot water heater."

"The hostal is one of the traditional palafito buildings in Castro. Despite being constructed entirely of wood it is surprisingly quiet inside and you don't really hear other people at all. It is a small very friendly place and staff are very welcoming and helpful. The room had a lovely balcony with seaview and was very light and airy. It was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was rather of the old fashioned type but everything worked perfectly. It's definitely worth booking the rooms with a balcony as you get the best view of the estuary throughout the day. The breakfast was very good with home made products and food cooked to order. I would definitely recommend this hostal to others."

"The hostal is very close to a busy bridge with lots of traffic but it is quite quiet at night. The location is 10 to 15 minutes walk from the town centre up a very steep hill. There are however plenty of taxis which are not so expensive."

"The view and the location is interesting, we are right on the water! The breakfast, the room is comfortable. Pamela is friendly, welcoming and very knowledgable of the island. Thank you!"

"The hostel is placed in a wonderful part of the city, a bay with all these palafitos. The hostel has a kitchen that you can use to prepare your meals and a wonderful terrace just outside the kitchen and few meters above sea level."

"This is a great place to stay in Castro. Nice location, great staff, in particular Pamela was amazingly helful and kind, very comfortable beds, nice breakfast and beautifully decorated common areas. The two rooms with views on the bay are also beautiful, the other rooms have not the same charm but are very convenient. We loved this place and would come back any time!"

"Pamela, who met us when we arrived, was really friendly and helpful."

"Everything was lovely."

"After a long day, it was very pleasant to be welcomed by such a friendly staff with such energy. The rooms were perfect for what we needed with super comfortable beds. As every other review says, the breakfast is fantastic, the homemade bread and marmalade were delicious! With a superb view to enjoy it from. To note: There is a communal kitchen area for potential simple cooking and a terrace to enjoy the view. Finally, I was able to do well-needed laundry in the evening and have it back early morning. Superb!"
