Staff were really helpful and friendly and the owner was absolutely lovely. She couldn't do enough for us. Clean linen and room. The house could have been lovely but had a dusty, dirty, dilapidated feel about it. Bathrooms were not too clean and from our room upstairs, they were reached by a small rickety spiral staircase outside. Walls were thin... More

a busy hostel with loyal guests, coming back every year for a week or so, around christmas. very nice house and clean rooms, situated close to the beach. the staff was multilingual and helpful. excellent food in central mercado just 500 m from the hostel, please do not skip it for your lunch!

I was a bit scared by earlier reviews (´noisy, party hostel´) but had a very nice time at Casona 1920, with - for me quite important - good nights of sleep. Some of the staff were very attentive and helpful, with a lot of practical information. If I ever come back to Iquique for sure I´ll come back to la... More

I stayed at La Casona for a couple days and really regretted not having more time for a few more days. The owner is lovely and welcoming and the hostal is clean, very cosy and for me has the nicest kitchen of all the hostals I've encountered in South America. The atmosphere at the hostal was a bit like a... More

Everybody in this hostel was super friendly from the cleaners to the receptionist. And the owner, Isabel, was one of the most friendly persons I met in Chile. Because of her I didn't feel like a tourist at all. With her help I met a lot of great people from Iquique, we also went out with other Chileans and had... More

Following the suggestion from our previous hostel, La Casona was suggested when visiting Iquique. Gaston the receptionist was beyond helpful and accommodating. The hostel owner was super friendly as well. Eclectic mix of hostel guests super fun. The place was clean and always had warm water. Would stay there again. Located next to local markets and a quick taxi ride... More

This place has its merits - it's friendly and the vibe is good - even for relative oldies like us. Indeed, the communal space at this hostel is the main plus point. We paid GBP25 for a double room here and that is way overpriced for what was, essentially a small hutch above the living room. Inevitably, the noise levels... More

Isabel was incredibly friendly and helpful to myself and my partner! If you're looking for a full 8 hours of quite sleep this may not be the best place, otherwise its a wonderful place!
