Our triple room was outstandingly spacious and well-appointed; the breakfasts and service were truly outstanding. Erica and her staff do not speak any English (though it's clear they have at least some knowledge of the language) so you will need to try your hand at Spanish.

This is an exceptionally clean Hostel with nice rooms, comfortable beds, and the best breakfast we had in Chile and Argentina. It is a 5 minute walk from town and a 2 minute walk from the lake. Now for the quirky part; sign on the door informs you that you need to be out of the room during the middle... More

It's a mistake that this has been listed under hostels. Spacious bed and breakfast in what seems to be a family-run home. Lovely owners who provide the most interesting breakfast we have ever had, with home-made bread, jam and cheesecake.

First off, everything in Chile is expensive (on US scale) while the quality doesn't compare. This B&B is one of the only places in Chile where you CAN put paper in a toilet. I was in the countries for two months, so I can speak to that. Although this home shouldn't be called a hostel or hostal because that is... More

We stayed at this wounderful B&B for 4 nights and every morning got spoiled with freshly baked bread, cheeses, coffee, and traditional home made german patries "kuchen" for breakfast. The atmosphere felt like home with rooms, bathrooms and kitchen being very clean. We were able to use the kitchen to cook meals. They made our room every day. Such an... More

Cet hostal est le meilleur de Puerto Varas! Nous avons passé 2 nuits magnifiques, la chambre était nickel, salle de bain privée très propre, wifi gratuit, emplacement idéal, bref un petit coin de paradis! La propriétaire de l'hostal est une femme magnifique, elle prépare des petits déjeunes délicieux (ses kuchens sont trop bons) et est toujours la pour vous conseiller,... More

Hostal Erika a charming little place just outside of town but just a 7 minute stroll along the water line of beautiful Lago Llanquihue. And it can be a completely different view in the AM from the PM. A welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle of Santiago. BigTourism hasn't really grabbed hold of Puerto Varas yet, but the cranes...

We stayed at Hostal Erika for 3 nights in November. It is still considered the low season so only a few of the rooms were occupied but this is a rather large hostel with 10-12 individual rooms. The room was comfortable and wifi was available. Breakfast was the best breakfast we had during our trip with homemade kuchen and bread.... More

Hostal Erika is a very nice place to stay, quiet and very near the beautiful lake, but a little far away from center (around 10-15 mins walk). The room is very nice and clean with tv set, big windows, and pravite bathroom. The shower is excellent, hot and strong, very enjoyable. Wifi signal is available everywhere at home. If possible,...

We reserve the lodge for 3 people. There was a double room, a room with three beds and one with two beds. Only one bathroom, but it was enough. It has a kitchen and living room with fireplace, TV and dining table. The breakfast was served in own hut and we do not need to leave early in the cold.... More
