Hospedaje Magallanes Reviews

Very good location along from the main square. Lovely guy runs it and the staff are really helpful. Breakfast is better than in a lot of places, with the usual cereals and toast but in addition a "treat" - one morning a pancake and one morning a fruit salad. Plus they make their own bread which is yummy. The shower in the dorm is really good.

Wonderful hostel run by a German-American couple who were very helpful in setting up excursions/transportation to the airport!

Good breakfast, good blankets, towels and linen provided by the hostel, friendly staff.

A very cozy place with extremely friendly and helpful staff who will give you great hints regarding restaurants, etc. and can organise all the day trips to the penguins, etc. The included breakfast is good and the WiFi quite fast. Only downside is that it can get really cold during night times (heaters are not in the rooms, but in the corridors).

Great Atmosphere! Feels like @ home!

I had a lovely time at Hospedaje Magallanes. I loved how small and home-like it felt; everyone that stayed there seemed to be on the same page and therefore I had no doubts in leaving my things out during the day while I was off doing other things. The breakfast was great...homemade bread...cereal...yogourt...and always a "surprise" (eggs/crepe/fruit salad/flan) brought out by the cook :) Sebastian and Marisol are super friendly and their current intern, Stef, was awesome too!

very nice people and pleasant place.

Hosts Sebastian and Marisol were hugely helpful and they and their staff very welcoming. Good place to stay.

More a stopping location on the way through to do the W trek in Torres del Paine, great for the night stop as has everything a traveller could ask for minus the party atmosphere so a good warm night sleep here.

Sebastian proved to be an organising wizard. The tour to the new king penguin colony I wanted to take the next wasn't available and the ferry wasn't operating either. In no time, he managed to get me a car, map, all the information of how to get there, an additional tour the following morning and my transport to Puerto Natales. All this while having a chat and dealing with other guests at the hostel. He also recommended a new local restaurant, which turned out to serve great food. Brilliant!

Very laid back, friendly and accommodating hosts make this a relaxed and comfortable home from home. Comfy beds, small kitchen, good showers and a great breakfast make it good value. Some lockers in the dorm and a nice big mirror in the bathroom for the girls would make it almsot perfect :) Good location too, very close to the bus stop and supermarket. Would definitely stay here again.

Very helpful owners provide a lovely breakfast - they responded to our email queries very promptly and were more than happy to help with all travel bookings and provide advice.

A fantastic hostel built on to the back of a house about five minutes walk from the town square. Marisol is really lovely and so very helpful. The place is spotless and the shower seems to be quite new. There are no lockers in the room, but everyone was really friendly when I was there, so it wasn't a problem. Breakfast was prepared for me in the morning before I left for the airport at 5.30am! I will definitely stay here again.

the woman running the place was very friendly but one thing I found odd was that on arrival she told me that the tour to see the penguins the next day was full. I was surprised at this and asked if ALL tours were full and she said yes. It turned out that there was space with other companies, just not the one that they book with - but by that point I'd booked my bus to Puerto Natales and so could not go. Big shame as that's the main thing to do in Punta Arenas and very poor service on her part!

Really friendly staff, very helpful and fun to talk to. They are interested in their guests and chat with them as well. The breakfast is really nice with homemade German bread. Good advice and help for further planning. Were there more than once. German is definitely the preferred language of the guests - lots of german travellers there. We liked it a lot.

Had a wonderful stay here and met some great people that I ended up traveling with. =)

Fantastic accommodation, Sebastion and Marisol were extremely helpful with bookings etc, can get your bus ticket and book penguin tours etc right at the hostal. Spotlessly clean. Their family home is right next door and their two young sons and small dogs are in and out, I felt very much at home there, all are welcoming.

Very quiet more like a B&B, good spot and staff are very helpful with nice facilities. Would stay again

Hospedaje Magallanes was the most home-like comfortable and friendly hostel I have ever stayed in. It really felt like you were a guest and the hostel owners, people who work there, and other travelers were like a temporary family. It is naturally quiet, warm, and the breakfasts are delicious. They have REAL brewed coffee - a luxury! They also have their own travel company, so you can book expeditions right from the hostel, and they are very knowledgeable and give good advice.

great place and awesome breakfast! no lockers though.
