Good location close to town but quiet (walking to central Castro does require a steep uphill walk but it is short). Staff were incredibly helpful organising laundry for us (the apartment does not have a machine).

Modern, gorgeous hotel on the waterfront
Beautiful, refurbished palafito with tremendous views of the water and countryside. Well-furnished and cozy, a great, romantic place to stay while on Chiloe.

Palafito excellance
The location was good. The Palafito was nice, clean with a very nice decor. Street parking was no problem for those with a vehicle. They had a good kitchen with a full size fridge and freezer. We had a unit with a bedroom and a common area pull-out couch. The pull out coach was exposed to a chandelier light that we could not figure out how to turn off as it flooded the living room with light. If that issue is fixed I would suggest this place to any traveler.

Lovely apartment on water
Palafito means house on stilts over the water. This is a lovely one. You can walk to several restaurants on the same level. Going into center of Castro entails a very, very steep walk or use a taxi.
This apartment was very well equipped and lovely. See if you can get water view but street view ok.
Main problem is that owner, manager is only present at certain hours..she speaks only limited English...is pleasant enough but if she is not present, no one is there to assist you.
I would still recommend this place

Nice apartment. Town not charming.
The apartment is in a good location and very nice. It has a beautiful view. Castro has no charm. A lot of traffic in the center and a combination of new restaurants and run down buildings at the edges. People are wonderful.

The apartment itself is quite lovely. The view is very nice and reasonably located near restaurants. Parking is on the street. The major issue with this hotel is noise. It is adjacent to a gym that plays loud music with a heavy bass from 7 am to 11 pm. Waking up to this on vacation is unavoidable. There is no escaping it. Between 11 am to 9 pm the gym music is drowned out by the loud music from the attached ceviche restaurant just down the hall from the apartment. All of this led to a less relaxing stay such that we didn’t want to spend a lot of time in the apartment. It is unfortunate location but as such the high price is not justified.

Excelente pero con ruido al lado
Excelente hotel y bello entorno. Al lado hay un gimnasio que pone música muy fuerte hasta las 10pm lo que hace poco grato estar en la terraza
