Stayed in this hostel for 4 nights and it was absolutely brilliant. Fantastic location, really relaxed atmosphere and the breakfast was AMAZING. Fantastic value for the price and the women who work there are lovely. Really safe as well. I would definitely go back to this hostel. One of the best in all my travels!

We stayed here for 3 nights, mostly resting, and visiting the Elqui valley. The hostel is close to the bus terminal, at 10 minutes' walking. The breakfast is good, as you can choose from a selection of things. Sometimes we felt it could be a little more, but when asked, they didn't mind giving some more bread. It's also possible... More

After a bad stay in Calama, Las Luces was what we needed. It´s close to the bus terminal (about 10 minutes to walk) and next to Hostal El Punto which you can find in almost every guide book. It is family run and very friendly. In the backyard you can find a patio and breakfast is included! We had a... More

This family-run hostel has a great location in La Serena, only minutes away from the bus terminal, mall shopping area, and downtown. It is secure, only being able to enter with a doorbell. For 9,000 Chilean Pesos (about $18) per person, we got a large private room with a huge matrimonial bed, fresh towels and cable television. The bathrooms are... More

Lovely hostal with rooms which surround a lovely patio with loads of space for chilling out. The hostal is about a (pleasant) 10 minute walk to the centre and (very helpfully) a short walk from the bus station (easily done while carrying rucksacks). Staff were friendly and smiley with English spoken by one of them. Breakfasts were a bonus and... More
