Not a great experience... After the second night I found bed bugs in my bed and of course alerted the staff. Their solution was to spray antibacterial spray on my bed and then they proceeded to blame me for the situation even though I keep my things away from the bed. They did not give the option of a new bed (until two days later - the bunk over the infested bed) or a refund. Other than that some of the staff were nice, the kitcen utensils were not clean and the bathrooms extremely small.

I had a horrible experience at this hostel. I participated in an Asado Night the first day I arrived; I came down with Bacterial Tonsillitis (accompanied with a fever) 24 hours later. I was bedridden for three days. I noticed that I kept getting bites throughout my body. When I informed the hostel staff (who party just as much as the guests), they said they were mosquito bites. It wasn't until I was woken up around 3am (on a Sunday) because of the noise upstairs that I checked my sheets with a flashlight. Low and behold, BED BUGS. I had over 30 bites on my legs alone. I tried to sleep on the wooden bench in the living room until I could talk to the staff. The manager, Miguel, probably had the worst attitude of anyone I've encountered in the service industry. He claimed they were just a type of Chilean fly and asked me not to warn anyone else. He was utterly rude, unapologetic, and misogynisticic. What a nightmare...

One word: BEDBUGS. Stayed in the room one night and a lot of us were bitten. Thought they may have been mozzie bites but a guest in another room said that when they used the reception computer they saw an email complaining about bedbugs in the room we were allocated. This means the management knew the room was infested but still rented the room out. When we complained to the manager and said we were moving to another hostel he said we had to pay for the upcoming night because we hadn't let him know before 2pm. "If you told me before then I could have rented the room out to someone else".....! Awful. Much nicer hostels in town.

INFESTED WITH BEDBUGS!!! Terrible hostel and management. The room we were staying in was infested with bedbugs and we ended up covered in bites, upon telling the manager he told us we needed to pay for the night we stayed and the next one because we were booked in and apparently told him too late in the day for him to rent the room out again!

Analyse de l'ambiance
La salle commune du dernier étage est l'événement principal à Hostal Po : une grande cuisine et un salon partagés sous d'immenses puits de lumière, avec plantes, jeux, livres, TV, instruments et assez d'espace pour cuisiner, bosser ou dériver vers une conversation. Ça a une sensation cosy et arty de Valparaiso plutôt qu'une énergie hôtel polie. L'emplacement est une force majeure, près de Cerro Concepción et Cerro Alegre, street art, miradors, cafés, bars, boutiques, supermarché, métro, bus et Palacio Baburizza. Le bâtiment embrasse la couleur de la ville avec ses fresques et son plan de vieille maison ; les chambres privées peuvent être spacieuses, et les lits de dortoir peuvent avoir de grands casiers sous le lit, lampes et ports USB. Le social peut tomber magnifiquement quand le bon mix est là : repas partagés, verres, musique, jeux de société, soirée pizza maison et staff qui aide avec les tips ville ou invite les voyageurs dans des plans locaux. Ce n'est pas toujours un party hostel plein gaz, cependant. Aux périodes calmes, ça ressemble plus à une base chill avec une grosse cuisine qu'à une scène intégrée.
Signaux à vérifier
- Les salles de bain peuvent être très petites, et la propreté autour des toilettes et douches a été inégale, avec de la moisissure dans certains cas.
- Certaines chambres sont bruyantes à cause de la circulation, des murs fins, des planchers en bois ou de l'activité nocturne.
- La scène sociale varie beaucoup ; ça peut être calme, et les événements organisés ne sont pas fiables.
- La disponibilité et le professionnalisme du staff peuvent être irréguliers, et l'eau chaude n'a pas toujours été fiable.
- Ne compte pas sur un petit-déjeuner ni sur une terrasse extérieure.
