We stayed here for 2 nights in October 2012. We stayed in a 5 bed dorm, but as we are a group of 4 we had the whole place to ourselves. The beds were warm and comfortable, although oen of our group felt the duvet was a bit smelly and hadn't been washed in a while! The strange thing about... More

Looking for something a bit smaller and quieter than the widely publicised hostels, we found Hostel Acuarela in a charming Valparaiso neighbourhood. Upon entering the hostel, we knew it would be perfect for us. There is a small communal area with computer to access the internet, a dining area and a country kitchen with granite benchtops and a handy dishdrainer... More

The staffs were very nice but the hostel was kind of old and noisy. It was written that the price includes a breakfast (from 8.30 to 10.30am) but at 9.30 am, nobody was awake because they went out the night before... That means no breakfast finaly...

My boy Ivan shure knows how to make you feel "en casa" . cheap,clean,cozy and with alotta character. Breakfast was great..very healthy and home made whole bread. Ask for speacial "Giant pizza Night" Kudos Brother!

The hostel is in a good area, where there are lovely little cafes and restaurants nearby. The bathrooms were kept clean, however the shower wasn´t that hot (in between warm and cold)... More

Friendly, welcoming, laid back, which is no surprise after you meet the guys who run it: Miguel, Oter and his brother ! You feel in a big family as soon as you step in their living room and kitchen. The breakfast is the best I ever had in a hostel: they bake delicious wholegrain bread every night for next morning's... More

We stayed at Hostal Acuarela for New Year's Eve 2010. Valpo is the place in Chile for New Year's and pretty much everywhere has special super-expensive prices. Acuarela was excellent value for this in demand period. They made a real effort to make the big night special, dinner for all the guests, then champagne on the roof terrace, with an... More

I stayed here for 3 nihgts. It's probably the most laidback hostel I have ever stayed in. It's a really nice old house that has been renovated recently. It's clean but basic. The guys on reception are really nice but dont speak much english but do make an effort. There are not a lot of rooms which makes it nice... More

My bf and I spent the New Year's eve in Valparaiso and found this cute Hostel with the most amazing view over the bay. The owner's are really nice, they even organized a midnight barbecue for all the guests staying that night in their hostel. The owner's are a young couple full of energy and enthusiasm. Everything was clean, the... More
