The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was way above average including a hot apple crepe. The room and bathroom were clean and well maintained.

We stayed one night to brak a trip on the way north. The bedrooms were unheated and freezing. you have to leave the door open to get some heat. We woould stay again if they heat the bedroom and clean the town which is full of mud from a month ago.

Magallanes Hostel is great for resting, it has the most confortable beds! Its a small Hostel that makes you feel as part of the family. Be careful when booking for 1 since they charge double for the whole room.

Thanks for your review. We just got brand new, high quality mattresses a few weeks ago! We're glad that our guests appreciate the great sleep quality at our B&B... :-) Best, Sebastian

We really enjoyed our stay at hospedaje magallanes. sebastian, marisol, and luis were excellent. They made us feel welcome as though we were in our own home. Even though our flight arrived at 0500, they let us come and crash on the couches untill the room was ready. Breakfast served every morning is delicious. Sebastian helped us plan activities and gave us advice about good restaurants in the area as well. Great experience!

Thanks for your nice words! Although 5:00 a.m. arrivals are not necessarily our favorites, being travelers ourselves, we know that hanging out at the airport at 5:00 a.m. is way less fun than enjoying a nice cup of coffee and a yummy breakfast... ;-) --Sebastian

The communal areas were nice but the twin bedroom was very basic and had no windows. There was an opaque window into the other bedroom so when the other rooms light went on it woke you up. Breakfast was nice and also flexible and the staff very helpful.

VERY NICE AND RELAXING PLACE. The small amount of rooms means it never feels overcrowded. Beds are comfortable, owners and staff make you feel very welcome. Place was kept extremely cleen as well! The breakfast was as good as it gets. The best place we have stayed in South America thus far! Thanks guys Aaron & Billie, Adelaide, Australia Aari

Unprepossessing from the street, but inside, this is a very comfortable hostel with welcoming and helpful hosts, Sebastien and Marisol. Comfortable beds, large bathrooms, pleasant sitting room. Lovely to return to after five days hiking and camping in Torres del Paine.

True, our B&B doesn't look like much from the street. Our B&B is more about us, the people who live in it and run it. We'd love to run a B&B on the top of the mountains, at the beach fron, in the jungle (but without the bugs), near a turquoise-colored lake to swim in and with an amazing garden to play hide and seek in.... but that's somewhat of the next project... ;-) Thanks for your nice review and thanks for staying with us! Best, Sebastian

I have nothing but good things to say about Hospedaje Magallanes in Punta Areas. Sebastian and his wife were pleasant, helpful and made you feel like part of their family. We were given great food recommendations in the area and we even celebrated New Years with a backyard barbeque and drinks followed by a fireworks show. Breakfast was set up the night before so you could eat a good meal even if you had to leave really early in the morning.
