We love and enjoy our stay in this place, I would rather say its a friends home where you could meet and welcomed by other friends. It's in the nice neibourhood which either walk up and down the 'cerro' would make you enjoy all the cafe, shop, viewpoint :) don't forget to gather with other travelers and requesting the best...

not only is valparaiso an amazing place to visit, but hostal jacararanda was a wonderful place to be for our stay. gerardo and christian made us feel like family, they were so helpful and kind. we stayed an extra night because not only was it a great place for the value, but also just a great place to hang out.

We arrived pre booked on a beautiful sunny day in Valpariso and were greeted by an enthusiastic Gerado, who took our bags and showed us the room we had, then insisted he gave us a quick tour of 'his part of town'. The hostel is situated high on the hill in the Bohemian part of town, full of atrists and... More

We started off in santiago and didnt really rate it as a place the only good thing that came out of Santiago was being recommended this hostel! It was really good when we arrived at our next stop Valapariso at Hostel Jacarander the guys... More

This is definitely one of the friendliest hostels I´ve been to and the guys who run it can not do enough to help you. I had a fabulous time there and would recommend it to anyone. It is a small hostel so the fact there was only one shower wasn´t really a problem but to be completely perfect it could... More

My wife and I were recommended Jacaranda by 3 different people with rave reviews so we decided to give it a go and it did not disappoint at all. We arrived at 7am having made a reservation for the wrong dates. Despite the owners not having slept till 5am they let us in with a warm welcome in to what... More

Chris and Gerado are such friendly hosts. I felt like a friend visiting their home rather than a guest in a hostel. They gave us great info about Valpariso and things to do. The hostel is really cosy with great kitchen facilities, a beautiful garden and outdoor areas with a bbq and herb garden available to guests. The guys will... More

This place is just great, we planned on staying 4 nights and ended up staying 7. The hostel is in a really great area of town just a short walk (or ascensor ride!) from the main sights. The house is so comfortable, the beds are great and communal areas that make you feel right at home. It's not the facilities... More

We were absolutely blown away by Hostal Jacaranda. After almost 8 months of travelling through Central & South America, it was such a delight to come to stay in Valparaiso with Latin America's best hosts: Gerado & Christian. Nothing was too much trouble. Dorms are very comfortable, spacious & everything brand new (and prices were very good for their equivalent... More
