The backyard

Great location. Comfortable beds. Welcoming staff

Great location in Vicuna, it is very close to main square of the town, especially if you need to arrange your stargazing tour for Del Pangue or Mammaluca observatories, nevertheless I would suggest for the former. Room was quiet basic but functional for our needs.

Well, no breakfast in the morning, and I discovered that the price was slightly lower on their tariff table in their reception rather than I paid on Booking.com, moreover, they do not accept cards but you must pay only cash. Entire thing was fairly dodgy to be honest.

No hot water by tap to wash up. No plug or bowl to wash up. Hence all utensils greasy and dirty. Needs some TLC

HostL Michel is located in a good position , close to several restaurants and pubs. Rooms where good and staff were very helpful

Nothing

It would be a nice, affordable spot in the spring and summer months. The rooftops are a good option and the rooms are cheap.

They do not have heat, so we were freezing at night. They have parking, but you will be required to move your car all the time when they come and knock on your door. Furthermore, you must constantly ask permission for them to open and close the gates to enter and leave with your car. So while this is a convenience, there are many inconvenient aspects to parking on-site that make it quite frustrating.

the location, hospitality, rooms, cleanliness and facilities were all amazing! and all the outdoor areas are lovely. the staff were exceptional. one of our group was really unwell during our stay and they helped us get medical help and extend our stay with no fuss - they genuinely care about their guests and gave great advice about visiting Vicuña. thank you hostal Michel!!

The roof with swinging chair and a rock bed; The little chairs and table just outside the Draco Room is awesome;

There was a community Asado at the center yard one night and it was kinda noisy but that's ok, its a hostal

Really great hostel! Great room size with really good beds. There is a beautiful backyard and two areas where you can just sit and enjoy the stars. Also Lila the host there was one of the sweetest ladies I ever met! Would definitely recommend this place to stay in Vicuña

The garden is really nice, you can spend there a lot of time to relax - Hostel offers "free food" places in the kitchen and fridge to avoid wasting food - The location is very good

Urinal at the toilet was broken - No english speaking staff - Only cash - As a foreigner you normally don't need to pay tax for the accomodation in Chile, if you pay with a foreign currency. In this Hostel the owner said that it is not possible - WIFI isn't working that good - Price is very high compared to other hostels in South America and also in Chile (to be fair, all hostels in Valle de Elqui are overpriced)
