This was the first time I ever walked out the first night of an accom.Location is nice enough but this was the dirtiest accom I’ve ever seen.Dishes laying across the kitchen & garbage on the floors.The bathrooms don’t have hot water, shower heads aren’t attached,door didn’t lock.Owner only speaks Spanish but refused to cooperate with GoogleTranslate to communicate.“Upgraded” us without asking & then wanted us to pay the private room price,then added another random couple into our “private” room?

Can't reccomend this place enough! Definitely the most authentic and best value stay you can find in Valparaíso. Andres and Lorena are great hosts, going above and beyond with their kindness and hospitality! Don't expect some fancy hostel, it is a rustic but comfortable accaccomodation. If you look for an authentic experience, great value and a central place to stay, look no further!

One of the most authentic stays you can get in Valparaiso. Its almost like a homestay, the owners are really lovely and take care of you. Of course its still a low priced accomodation, so be ready for simple but rustic and very homely stay rather than white linen sheets. I booked the 4 bed dorm and it was located a bit elevated in their backyard, overlooking the courthouse,a big square and also the port. If your watching your budget and you dont need much luxury, this is what you're looking for.
