Stayed here 2 nights and really enjoyed it! Had one of the rooms with balcony overlooking the river...recommend requesting one of these rooms for the nice view. The place is clean and the front desk staff were helpful. We were able to park the car on the street with no problem. As others have said, the bread at breakfast was... More

overal passable but bring earplugs if you want to sleep when we stayed heating and water were off - not the hostals fault but annoying non the less. front of hostal is next to a restaurant and the noise sure caries! PROS: funky decor, kitchen and spaceous room CONS: next to a noisy restaurant and main road More

The palafito has a stunning look. Interior was new and clean. But it's small - both common area and our bedroom. At breakfast one may not find a place to sit. We were cramped and it was not relaxing. (The health bread served at breakfast was very nice.) The floor creaks. It is the compromise one has to make to... More

Stayed 3 nights in March. Friendly staff, great breakfast with great breakfast-with whole grain bread baked in the kitchen. Attractive interior design, common kitchen area and deck overlooking the bay (watch for the huge tides). Rooms vary in size and price - Front two matrimonial rooms with decks and views are the best. Construction and pump noise from nearby main... More

We stayed there 3 nights to visit the area around Castro. The hotel is very charming, all wood. The breakfast with home made jam and bread is perfect. The beds are comfortable (we could even fit our 1 year old daughter inside :)) and the rooms very clean and simply but well decorated. They gave us good recommendations of things... More

The design of the hostel is very nice, the rooms clean, the bed comfortable and warm, the shower perfect.... however we stayed in a very dark room on the ground floor, with no windows (well a window that that looked onto a wall 2 inches away) and it was like sleeping in the kitchen. All hostel have a friendly atmosphere... More

This place is a gem in Castro, and I dare say in Chilé. The place is beautifully decorated in a very clean, yet comfortable style, with many details that pay homage to the region -- wood furniture, knit throws, woven decorations, fur cushions, etc. I stayed in a dorm room, and while the mattress could have been a few inches...

Very beautifully kept, wood everywhere, modern and minimalist. We stayed in a shared room (bunk beds, 4 persons) with comfortable bathroom. Excellent breakfast with fresh fruit and homemade bread, outside on the terrace overlooking the water. Computer with Internet for free. We recommend the restaurant next door. The only setback was the garbage truck at dawn, really noisy - rooms... More

The Palafito Hostel is a clean well-kept hotel/hostel right on the water a few minutes walking distance from downtown Castro; it's a steep uphill walk though. They have hostel style bedrooms with bunk beds and hotel rooms for singles and couples. I stayed one night in a downstairs room with no window -- just a little glass window towards the... More
