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.

I can only recommend this El Arbol Hostel. The stuff is very nice and incredibly helpful. The chef speaks English. She has very good recommendations for your stay and you can easily reach her with What‘ app. The place is though small, very comfortable, clean and cosy and La Serena is a surprisingly nice city with more things to do than you have probably thought.

Everyone there was really friendly. They accommodated our very late check in without any dramas. Breakfast was good. Daily housekeeping was a nice touch. The hostel was really secure. It’s a good location, central to the town centre and you can walk to the beachfront.

The young guy at check in was very polite and let me check in early. The bedrooms upstairs looked ok but the dorms in the basement are best avoided.

All hostels in La Serena

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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.
