Valentina United States of America

Good Location. Amazing staff. Wifi and breakfast is okay. Room is clean.

Eriberto United States of America

The space was great. The staff was friendly. It was walking distance to the city center. All tours picked us at location. It was quiet and included breakfast.

Maricela Panama

Overall a good stay. The common areas especially were nice.

Ermioni Romania

I like the design and size of the room. The best part is the toilet, sink, and shower room are separate. Which is very convenient for a family or more people to stay.

Grace United States of America

Very comfortable and a great location. Allowed for late check in after Torres Del Paine.

Alicia United States of America

Location, small continental breakfast, kitchen area

Holly United States of America

Great location! It's a short walk to the main streets of the city and the Nimez reserve. Facilities are comfortably nice - good restaurant area, shared kitchen, and common spaces. Room was clean, had enough outlets, and warm. I got lucky with having good dormmates. Breakfast was basic but fine - as a vegan, it was just fresh coffee, tea, toast, and jam.

Lana United States of America

Excellent location, good price, modest continental breakfast, nice large common area, easy free street parking.

Holly United States of America

The location is great, very close to the city center, close to everything. The single room was big and in a reasonable price. Front desk staff are very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.
