The family who run this place are very nice, the walls are quite thin however.

The hostel was nice. Unfortunately, it is away from the main area and though I was told it was safe and I safely walked to and from the central plaza, it did not really feel like a safe area. That being said, the people that run the hostel are extremely nice. The rooms were clean and the breakfasts were very good as well. I would recommend this place more for people who have a travel partner to make the walk with them.

The hostel is really far from the center. The staff does not know english except for one lady whos english is not very good. Breakfast was basically bread with cheese and jam and coffee and tea.... the least ive had so far. The hostel is a house without any atmosphere and hardly any chance of mingling with other people. Overall it was fine but not somewhere I would stay again

It's very, very quiet, although this seems typical for hostels in this area. The beds are the comfiest I've slept in, though, with wonderful, thick, warm covers. Staff is pleasant and helpful. A small walk to the center of town, but not enough to mind.

We enjoyed our stay there very much - staff were kind and helpful. One negative: there was no wi-fi available during our stay. This is very important as we needed to book further flights/accommodation and we were expecting it.... All in all, a pleasant stay even it was a bit of a walk from the bus station. It was very clean and we felt safe and welcome there. Thanks. The young boy was especially kind - please thank him - he is an asset to their business with his good English skills. Well done!

Pros: Nice staff, clean hostel, very quiet, comfy beds, close to waterfront.. Cons: Wifi was not working the whole time I was there and the staff did not do anything to fix it. Breakfast is just bread and jam/cheese and if you wake up late, then it is just bread with more bread. The hostel is located in ca 30 minute walk from the city centre (which is a bit annoying). The owner's grandchildren (two young boys and maybe their friends) were bothering the female guests a bit too much.

This isn't a hostel. It is a converted family home, with the family still living there. It is a long way from the centre of town and any shops. The wi-fi is very slow and only allows a few members to be online at 1 time.

Hola quisiera hacerte una aclaracion en cualquier hospedaje de chile encontraras administrando el hostal por los propietarios y que viven en el mismo lugar, esto no es un bacpackers, ademas, Uds los turistas tienen la posibilidad de ubicar en el plano de la ciudad el lugar donde se ubica el hostal, por lo tanto si lo encuentran lejos del centro de la ciudad, lo mas inteligente es optar por no tomar las reservas y tomar un lugar que te acomode cerca de los grandes hoteles de 5 estrellas, claro que las tarifas son otras..y los servicios tambien.. es un sano consejo para que no cometas errores saludos Teresa

I lost there 1 litre of milk an 1 litre of apple juice which I had bought for the next 4 days that I intended to stay in this hostel. I think that they thought that I had stolen it, because it was as far as I remember of the same brand. Therefore I did not go back to stay two additional nights after having spent 2 nights in another hostel, as first was convened.

There was a mess-up with our booking, and when we arrived we were told they had no space for us even though we'd booked the night before. The owner found space for us by changing the sheets in a a room that was not occupied but hadn't been cleaned yet which is also weird. We were happy with the room for the night, but it wasn't that clean, just had new sheets on the bed. The hostel seemed like it had nice social areas and nice people staying, but owners weren't the most welcoming or friendly.

Felt so homely and run my a nice, helpful lady. Not long to walk into the main town centre and close to the coast. Definetly not a party hostel if that's what you're after. Enjoyed our night here though as it felt like home for a night.

The location is a long walk away from the city and in the area around there almost no places to buy something or go for a drink. There are no lockers available, only the room key which is shared with the other people in the dorm. There is the possibilty that the owner puts your valuables in a lockable cupboard. They key for cupboard is easy to get for everyone. You live in the same area as the family of the owner, so the atmosspere is not as in a normal hostel as you may expect.

There is not a great selection of hostels in Punta Arenas. Costarnera was not a real highlight of my trip. But for one or two nights its okay. A bit out of town, but still in walking distance. Clean bathrooms.

We had two amazing nights at Costanera Hostel. The couple that runs the place is very friendly and lovely. We made a mix up with our booking, but it was no problem at all. Most comfortable bed I have slept in for weeks. Breakfast was great as well: first place I run into in South America that offers cheese instead of only dulces and had brown bread as well! They hooked us up with a tour to the penguin island and brought us to the port. Really recommendable!

Really nice staff and the place might feel a bit like home, though the internet sucks some now and then and there are no security lockers available
