A very cool mix of guests from many countries. It's 500m to the Japanese Garden (lots of ducks and swans) and the pedestrian bridge (Pasarela), which connects to the big shopping center and has buses to everywhere in the city, the airport, Coquimbo and Pisco Elqui. TIPS: The upstairs bath is the nicest. Consider staying in Vicuña for a night or two -- very charming, easy access to Pisco, and heaps of deep space observatories with telescopes (Pangue is the best).

A beautifully decorated and homely place to stay with comfortable bed and other furniture, necessities supplied (towels, shampoo, conditioner etc.), and very friendly and accommodating staff. I really felt at home, and at peace in this quiet neighbourhood.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Great Hostal for a comfortable stay in La Serena. We stayed only the one night as we were passing through on our way to Vicuña. They let us store our bags at the hostel for a couple of days whilst we were there. Breakfast was basic but enough. I would stay here again.

Good location - close to the tourist centre, and only ~15 min to the ocean beach, where the famous lighthouse is located. The area (at least now, in the winter) is super quiet and empty. There are very friendly dogs in the hostel and a beautiful patio, very nice to spend time there.

I loved the location, which was very convenient for exploring the city. The breakfast was fantastic, and the café area was really cozy, especially at night. Javier was the best and helped us out so much! It was also great that we could book tours right out of the hostel lobby, and they even stored our luggage for the day.

The hostess, or the lady that runs the facility was extremely nice. She had breakfast ready and it's a wonderful home with rooms. The bathroom was very clean, and hot water! Internet worked great. Way better and cheaper than the hostels in the area. I'm sure you'll love it. They don't speak English, but hey just use Google translate. They even do your laundry.
