The hotel location is perfect, central to the old town/hill area. The actual rooms were somewhat old and although comfy they were a little dusty (balls of fluff on the floor, dirty window frames). The bathrooms were old but functional.Alberto was very welcoming and provided a useful walking guide/tour and without this we may well mave missed some of the... More

Alberto was a great host with a information on the area, places to visit and suggested walking tours that were great. The hostel was convenient with pleasant, cozy rooms. We enjoyed a fine breakfast and briefing of our daily walks with Alberto prior to departing for the day. More

Alberto, the owner, was a fantastic host. He showed us a great walking tour of the cerro (hill) that was not too difficult for my husband's senior parents and aunt who can't walk up or down steep hills. He noted some great places to eat, also, and we had a fantastic dinner that night. The next morning he called 2... More

Alecon is more of a budget hotel than a hostel. There's no kitchen, and the "common area" is more of a tiny dining room where breakfast is served. It was pretty clean and cheap for Valparaiso. The bathrooms are sort-of clean, the toilet smears were re-smeared every day. Mattresses are good and clean sheets and towels are nice. There's a... More

The rooms are very colourful, cosy and spotless clean. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are included and there is a cable TV in the room. The owner (he speaks English fluent) and his family are very helpful and extremely cordial. He provides his guests with insider tips and funny stories about the city. We had a wonderful time there.

A good, clean hostel with a central location close to many things. Alberto the owner is very knowledgable and does love his city, however he has a tendency to talk and talk and talk. All his information is good, only found a couple things that seemed inaccurate (he said the Ambassador of Finland stayed there ... OK, maybe in 1880!).... More

As experienced, mature, independent travellers we were privileged to spend a wonderful week at Alecon. We were picked up from the bus station by Alberto, and over coffee, given accurate and relevant information on all aspects of the city. Alberto is a mine of information, loves his city, and nothing is too much trouble. He even went to great lengths... More

We stayed here for 4 nights even though we only meant to stay two. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms cleaned every day & we had access to the computer whenever we wanted. The 20000 pesos a night included breakfast. Our host was very friendly and shared his enthusiasm for Valparaiso with us at every opportunity even drawing out... More

Alecon Fine Hostel is perfectly located in the beautiful area of Cerro Concepcion. All the nice walkways and many good restaurants are in very short distance of the hostel. You can easily wander around the walkways and go on a ride with the famous old elevators in a few minutes. Besides you will get firsthand information on where to go... More
