We have no complaints with this hostel, although neither would I say it is the best we have stayed. The dorm rooms have lockers in them and we thought the beds were comfy and had a good nights sleep. There are three bathrooms which seemed to be plenty so we never had to wait for a shower. There is also... More

This is an alright little place - the staff are great and the dorm we stayed in was clean and provided lockers. It's in a niece location and by a market, but is located two doors from the fish market (but you can only smell it when you are outside the hostel, it never blew into the place). It has... More

It's a rather cute hostel, with lots of attention for detail: from the binoculars on the rooftop terrace, over the collection of shopping bags so you don't need to use more plastic to the herbs they grown in the garden that you can use for cooking. The common areas are nice and staff was very friendly and helpful. Also there... More

The Aji Verde hostel is a very nice place to stay. It's located a couple of blocks from the main square and one block from the market area. It has several common places including a patio, a bar and a roof terrace (with view over most of the town and the sea). The crew in very nice and helpful, and... More

Unfortunately this hostal was more expensive than most in Chile and very disappointing. The staff never seems to be around when you need them and are extremely disorganized which caused me to come back from a day of sight-seeing with my bed taken by someone else. The laundry is outrageously expensive and took 2 days, once returned, some of my... More

A nice and clean hostel very central in La Serena. We stayed here for two nights in a spacious private double bed room. They have a beautiful roof terrace and a cozy common area outside by the kitchen. People actually repsected the 11 o'clock rule for being quiet, so we slept well. Fairly good internet, basic breakfast, almost hot water... More

I liked the rooms. It wasclean everywhere and the rooftop is outstanding. I met some awesome locals in this hostel. The only thing disturbing was that they had some stray cats killed, that lived around the hostel!

Aji Verde Hostel offers backpackers or economic travelers what every hostel should offer: clean and well maintained rooms and bathrooms, a nice kitchen, comfortable common areas, good attention from the staff and a convenient location. People in charge of Aji Verde certainly understand that, to be economic, a hostel doesn't have to be shabby. It just needs to be simple.... More
