I had such a nice stay here, Marcus and his wife were incredible hosts with wonderful recommendations for hiking, sight seeing, iglesias, restaurants, and more. They are locals to Castro and created a very welcoming, safe and fun environment at hostel ballena. Facilities were clean and I felt safe staying here as a solo female traveller.
