Hostal Mariposas Reviews

Muy buen hostel...! recomendable desde todos los aspectos!

Hostel Mariposas was my home away from home in Valparaiso. On my last night (after a repeatedly extended stay) my new friends cooked a wonderful going away dinner and we drank and danced in the street outside until the late hours of the night. I went to the bus station feeling the littlest bit heartsick to be leaving. Looking back I´d love just one more day day with the incredible view, soaking up the good vibes and love that flow through this unique place. Treat yourself - stay here.

This hostel is more of a home than a hostel. Ken and Carolina welcome you with open arms and are there for your every need. My husband and I were sick when we were there and they gave us medicine and offered to take us to the clinic. They also drove us to the bus terminal when we left so we wouldnt have to carry our bags on the bus. They are so kind, it was very refreshing :) The hostel is very comfortable with a nice roof deck to BBQ and hang out with everyone... amazing views!

That was really the BEST hostel so far in South America ! Great atmosphere, great people, beautiful place, loved the little terrasse. We would definitly go there again if going back to Valparaiso ! Thanks !

I usually shy away from places that people describe as too "cozy", but Hostel Mariposas became my home in Valparaiso for almost 2 weeks. Kent and Carolina are incredibly warm and helpful without ever being too pushy as it can often happen in smaller places. It's located in a real neighbourhood (yet easy enough to get anywhere) and discovering and experiencing these reveals the real charm of this wonderful city. Plus, best Pacific and city views from the roof terraces!

this isn't a hostal, it's a guesthouse. and if you're about to click 'stay for two nights', go ahead and make it 2 weeks. hands down, the best place I've stayed in all of South America. massive terrace with a bbq [on both locations], fast WIFI, 24 hours of hot [and powerful water], nice simple rooms and a fantastic couple who run it. this is an absolute gem. and if I could stay 2 months here [gorgeous city as well], I would.

I spent three days in Hostel Mariposas in the end of 2011 and I loved it! Kent and Carolina are very nice people, very helpful and they welcomed us very well. The place is clean, very comfortable and has a nice atmosphere with furniture and pictures of art made by themselves. The street of the hostel is one of the most beautiful of Valparaiso, redecorated by Kent and Carolina, who made it unique. There is a balcony at the hostel, with a great view of the town and the sea. Excellent experience!
