Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hostel El Refugio had all the comforts of home including a warm hearty breakfast every morning, comfortable beds with fresh linens in a private room, and private bathrooms. My visit was during fall when temps were colder. The hostel was always warm after a day outdoors. The owner Luis was very kind and accommodating, making sure you have everything for a perfect visit.

Simples, confortável, eficiente

A acomodação é simples, porém super eficiente. Quarto muito confortável, assim como a cama. Café da manhã é bastante bom e os banheiros, embora compartilhados, estão sempre limpos e bem cuidados

Es war alles toll, neue saubere Einrichtung freundlicher Empfang. Bestes Frühstück in ganz Chile. Rundum Klasse Schade hatte nur 4 Tage. Das Bild entspricht nicht dem was man vorfindet. Es war viel schöner eingerichtet.
