Hostal Jofre

Nice breakfast, clean rooms and bathrooms. The property owner is extremely polite and you can use the computer for free. The location is good - extremely near to the bus station, and it is simple enough to walk to the beach (although I wouldn&'t say there is certainly anything special about the beach in La Serena). You can book excursions through the hostel which is straightforward. I went on the Mamalluca Observatory tour along with the owner booked it all for me, and I was picked up and dropped back at the hostel.

Owner/manager is really nice. WiFi fast when working (used hardwire connection in reception when not).

The owner was pretty and greeted us with a large smile! The garden was a very nice space. Very good location, only a few blocks from the bus station along with the centre.

This hostel is basic and a little old fasioned, but it had most things we needed and was a reasonable price. There is a small communal cooking area which, as other reviews have commented on, only has limited utensils. But it was fine and we managed to make a meal in there, The room was basic, but it had an ensuite bathroom and a television with cable in the room. The owner was friendly and helpful, along with the breakfast was simple but nice.

The staff were really kind and always willing to make you happy during the stay. Antonio (owner of the hostel) even lent his jeep to a tour guide so that we went on a day trip through the desert. it is situated a few blocks away from the bus terminal of la serena and very near to the local bus stop. Clean I would recomend it in case you want a nice and quite location to stay in la Serena.

Not a lot to be honest. The rooms were pretty much outside and the doors didnt close properly. The wind came blowing through the door and we had to sleep in our clothes as it was soo cold. The guy used the only good computer. The cooking area is tiny and down the end of the garden with 1 pan for cooking. The good thing though is that breakfast was ready especially for us, we were the only ones there but he did make the breakfast for when we wanted it.

Lovely family but do not speak fluent english and my Spanish is rubbish but we were still able to converse and they helped us book tours for less expensive than if we went through a travel agents. If your Spanish is great then it would enhance your stay much more. We were here out of peak season so only a couple of other travellers hence the average comment as a fun location to meet people.
