    (Translated by Google) If it was not possible to put stars I would, the owner of this hostel is a very aggressive individual incapable of controlling his emotions in front of the public, he treated me as ignorant and was even incapable of having a conversation with me... For trips falabella offers breakfast included and he told me that he would not give me that comfort because he does not get up early, to begin with he was not even able to receive me in his hostel a girl attended me, he was aggressive with my partner treating her very badly when she just wanted to talk things over If this person is not able to keep their thoughts and emotions in check, they should not be fit to handle a customer service business as taking their anger out on customers is not the way to go. Terrible service!! (Original) Si es que no se pudiera poner estrellas lo haría, el dueño de este hostal es un sujeto muy agresivo incapaz de controlar sus emociones ante el público, me trato de ignorante e incluso fue incapaz de mantener una conversación conmigo... Por viajes falabella ofrece desayuno incluido y el me dijo que no me daría esa comodidad porque el no se levanta temprano, por empezar ni siquiera fue capaz de recibirme en su hostal me atendió una muchacha, fue agresivo con mi pareja tratandola super mal cuando ella solo quería conversar las cosas, si esta persona no es capaz de mantener sus pensamientos y emociones, no debería ser apto de atender un negocio de servicio al cliente ya que desquitar su ira con los clientes no es la forma. Pesimo servicio!!

    Excellent. Architectural beauty, history, location and unique experience. Attention is all that is good.

    You really didn't like the place very much, the owner tries to act friendly but is kind of aggressive, I had read it in some comments but I didn't take it into account, it's ironic to say that it bothered a lot, as for the expensive place for so little 60 thousand pesos for a room is not worth it and without a private bathroom, so if the place has a good location, we get to all of them on foot and since the place is big you don't feel like you're in someone's house, but I keep insisting that for that reason price there are many better places, we had to use it out of urgency more than anything

    Excellent location in an emblematic neighborhood of Viña such as Cerro Castillo. Ideal place to start a walk along the coast. The hosts Patricio and Inna are close people, always willing to solve any problem and provide information about places to visit and quality restaurants. A Hostel that I will return to every time I visit Viña del Mar.

    Very charming property with plenty of bathrooms. The owner was very welcoming, treated us like royalty and helped us to schedule activities around the area. He also gave us free tickets to a classic music concert. We highly recommend it!

    This is at the top of a hill in a safe and quiet location with beautiful views of the city. It is not so much a castle but a huge house with a couple of floors and lots of stairs! Patricio is very helpful and informative and good to talk to about the city and travel. He was very accommodating. However, he is often busy or on the phone so you have to wait sometimes if you have a query or issue. At 12 I had to check out so was trying to show him I was putting the key on the desk to prove I was checking out and he was irritated but perhaps I should have just left it in the room. Maybe a volunteer could be hired to help with check-out time. If you buy breakfast be aware it is not buffet style or 'help yourself' - you have to designate a time and be there for it to be given to you (I was not told then when I checked in and did not realise). You can do laundry at the property for $5, and you can buy beers there or bring your own and drink it on the terrace. My room was clean and comfortable although I would recommend some small improvements and renovations for example some of the broken door handles or bolt locks being fixed/replaced. Some of the doors to the outside lock behind you so you have to remember to take a key out (which I also did not realise and subsequently locked myself out, as did a member of the cleaning staff there!). It definitely keeps you on your toes. I definitely recommend staying here if in Vina del Mar - which is much nicer than Valparaiso. There is also a short walk to a nice beach, restaurants (Donde Willys!) and some craft beer bars (e.g La Schoperia).

    Esta casona antigua, ubicada en el Cerro Castillo, en Viña del Mar, está llena de encanto e historia. Cuenta con un gran comedor para desayunar, piezas individuales y familiares, cocina equipada, baños y y todo impecable. Pero lo mejor de todo…una terraza inmensa con vista a todo el Centro de Viña del Mar y una excelente atención por parte de sus administradores. Son personas muy atentas, cercanas, preocupadas…nunca se sentirán solos.

    This Hostel/B&B is beyond wonderful. The owner is extremely welcoming, hospitable, knowledgeable of the area and happy to help however possible. Plus, the location is close to many bars and markets, and is in a very safe area.

    We booked the cheapest room and turns out it had no windows. But that was the only inconvenient we had during our stay (and we also were offered to exchange rooms and pay the difference). The breakfast was amazing, with lots of food. The facilities were always clean and neat. The kitchen is small but it was enough for us to cook our meals and the balcony with tables to eat was beautiful. The location is uphill so a car or a taxi is a good choice to arrive and leave.

    The aggressiveness of the guy there is ununderstandable.

    I have spent several days in the hostel and I can say that it is very quiet, the host is very polite and concerned about everything. The hostel is always kept clean, it is a fairly spacious place and is located in a safe area.
