It's quite normal for us to stay in dorms at times, but this was the most awful place we have been to The staff are exceptional, but you can't get away from a room that is located both next to Reception and the Kitchen/Lounge area The staff do not enforce a curfew which means we were forced to listen to drunk travellers play cards until 5am We had a reservation for 3 nights and stayed 1

This hostel is great value for money and it has all the facilities that you will need backpacking. It is not a party hostel which is great however it is lively enough to meet lots of people and socialise. The kitchen is very well equipped. The breakfasts are great and Isabelle makes a real effort to make you feel welcome. The internet is not the best however if you have a notebook the wifi is fine. I would recommend staying here, only 2 mins from the beach also!!

If you want a hot shower it is best to get up early!! The rest of the time it was luke warm or cold. The ladies toilet on the 2nd floor didn`t have toilet roll for 2 days and the floors were dirty. It was a bit strange that the owner had a private barbecue on one night. We were promised a choripan which never came. Bit awkward being banned from the patio!! Apart from this I had lots of fun in Iquique. The receptionist staff were really friendly and helpful!!

The four of us had a great stay. Mark was extra helpful, along with the rest of the staff. Everybody in my group loved the the feather comforters. Iquique was great. Everybody should try para gliding and hanging at the beach.

Though not quite in the city center, it' just a few blocks from the main beach of Iquique. The very frienldy and welcoming staff speaks Spanish, English and German. Great Barbeque and dance in the patio on Saturday. Good breakfast included, too. Secure, clean and colorful rooms.
