i really enjoyed two weeks here while i visited every funicular, hill and cultural spot in valparaiso. the location is great in cerro concepcion, it is easy to get to the main town, a quick walk or a funicular ride downhill. it was a great place to meet people, the main room was very amenable to getting to know people,...

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our time here until we found ourselves having been bitten by bed bugs. The hostel building is lovely, the breakfast is one of the best I've had in S.Am, staff were really friendly (up until we told them we had bed bugs). The location is great too on Concepcion hill, although not the easiest... More

Not happy. Private room could not be locked at first. When we could lock it the lock was a joke, didn't feel safe at all to leave stuff in there. Bathroom super dirty and everything broken. Only one bathroom. Had to wait 30 minutes to take a shower the day we got there. When we checked out the owner wasn't... More

BED BUGS. Now I know it is not the hostel's fault that they are there, but the way we were treated means a review is in order. When we discreetly notified the owner that we'd found them in the bedframe, he became aggressive, rude and insulting. He also didn't seem to think the problem was serious, so BEWARE.

The owner of Hostal Casa Valparaiso is super friendly and helpful, and that counts for a lot. My husband, 3-yr-old daughter, and I stayed here in Oct. 2011. Our private room was plenty big, and using the shared bathroom was not a problem. I'd like things to be cleaner, though. It is a fun space, with a friendly owner and... More

Great experience. Staff was very helpful and friendly, full of information about the local sights and places.There was an actual briefing of sorts for newcomers. Includes breakfast, that while portioned is quite good: a large fresh bun (4 portions when sliced), butter, jam, orange juice, a small serving of scrambled eggs, fruit, tea, coffee (at times drip)& milk. On my... More

Was so lucky to find this place it was one of the few places left for new years. Can be difficult to find at first it just seems like a house when you pass it. Was made feel very welcome by the owners although my spanish was very poor at the time.They were great in making everyone interact nobody knew... More

This Hostal is a quite, nice, friendly place to stay. The location is close to the city in the heart of the UNESCO place with a lot ig graffitis. The owner is so helpful and explained us a lot of the surrounding areas. He is able to speak english and so adorable. He shows us a nice bar, we make... More

My husband and I have just returned from a two night stay at Casa Valparaiso, in room #3. It cost approx. USD$40 a night including a basic breakfast (coffee, bread and jam, the ubiquitous scrambled eggs) and a shared bathroom. The room was large and the bed comfortable. Although our Spanish is deplorable, the staff took extra time to explain... More
