The hostel is located just few mins walking from Bus Terminal (Domestic/ International) , within 10 mins from Lider supermarket and Shopping Malls so it was perfect for me who stayed for few days. Sr. Jose and Sra. Marta are very accommodating and polite. Especially Sra. Marta cared about me and asked if I’d like to change towels, need paper roll for the toilet. I ended up staying in the room to do my work and to relax as it was pretty cold and cloudy outside.

Not really “didn’t like” but the breakfast (9:00 - 10:30) could be more flexible although I understood the difficulty due to their shift. I needed to check out early in the morning so consulted about the possibility of having it on my arrival but couldn’t. But it was suficiente for the price.

Location was ideal. Security is important. The staff 'Marta' and others made sure to educate us where not to travel. The beaches are close walking down the road and there's huge mall to shop or eat a Windy's burger. Arica is upscale compared to Montanita, Ecuador or some beaches in Peru. We suggest walking the shoreline and enjoying various beaches and restaurants. The Chili's Peso . IE: 5,000 peso = $5.74 dollars. Or 23,000 mil pesos Colomiano.

Beds we're a bit rumpy but we didn't mind, it was fine. I would surely return for 5 more nights. They had about six new beds stacked up and ready to replace the older ones. No food in rooms. The front porch was great to have a beer and watch the cars n people walk by. A good, well organized outfit.

I stayed here twice. Location was amazing if you have to use long distance buses. It is only 2 minutes by walking from bus terminal to hostal. My stay would not have had this great without younger lady, around 25 years old. She was Rayen or Hayen? She was excellent and spoke English well. She was all the time in good mood and happy to help. Older lady Marta was also pretty friendly but I do not understand how people working in reception can't spoke even words like check-out or breakfast in English. She had to use Google Translator to explain about check-out time or if I want to have breakfast etc. etc. Lady working in breakfast was friendly and customer servant. She spoke a bit English. When I sent messages with someone through Booking.com, those messages were replied quickly and with good English.

Breakfast was really simple. Older lady Marta was also pretty friendly but I do not understand how people working in reception can't spoke even words like check-out or breakfast in English. She had to use Google Translator to explain about check-out time or if I want to have breakfast etc.

Localization, smart tv, quite place.

There was no soap, no good air circulation. There was mail gate close all the time and everytime we have to want for someone to open it.

close to bus terminal and very secure

first room was noisy and very close to reception where everyone passed

Directly close to bus terminal

Right next to the bus terminal. Friendly stuff. Breakfast was okay.

The venue is across from the bus station. Just a few minuets walk. The host was pleasant, even when we checked in early. The room was clean.

There was no hot water for the shower without asking they had turned it on. This wasn’t great. The internet was slow. The room was hot and there was no fan. Floor tile in the room floor broken and potentially a hazard if walking with no shoes. The traffic noice was a lot and went on all night. No kitchen or any facility to make tea or coffee. (This was my fault I overlooked this when booking.) Breakfast was two rolls, one piece of cheese, one piece salami and margarine. No milk for tea/coffee.

The location: perfect for taking bus, shopping, going to the beach Breakfast: could be better in terms of quantity and variety

Prefer buffet breakfast. It was served by the staff and had to be notified when we had it. It had very limited quantity, especially the coffee.

Opposite the bus terminal, very convenient location

The included breakfast was small with only two pieces of bread.
