Hostal Schilling

Great location. Fabulous staff and good breakfast. Clean rooms and comfortable beds

Wir haben das Hostel für eine Nacht für die Weiterreise vom Flughafen in El Calafate ausgewählt. Das Team war super nett, zuvorkommend und top organisiert. Die Kommunikation lief super. Das Zimmer war eher einfach ausgestattet, hatte aber ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Positiv ist zudem die ruhige und zugleich zentrale Lage, Restaurants sind zu Fuß gut erreichbar.

comfortable, good breakfast and very helpful staff.

tight bathroom, small shower and great water pressure.

Gas heater is old not easy to operate, can smell gas leaks. Shower water too weak not hot. When I asked the receptionist guy Fede for help booking Torres del Paine National Park one day tour on 28/03/2025, he told me that we needed to make Chile custom declarations online and gave me a link to do it online. Through the link it asked me for my credit card details. I questioned it and told him that we are New Zealand citizens which should have free entry into Chile without any charges. But he said that’s fine and they have never had any issues before. Then I submitted our application. After that I found that the link was not the official website from Chile Custom. It was from a third party agency which charged me and my wife US$59 each for the declaration application services. When I questioned the receptionist Fede again, he just said he doesn’t know what was happening and couldn’t give us any more help. I had to email that agency myself and cancelled our applications. After lots of hassles, we only had partial refund from that agency. It’s a pity that we trust the hotel and Fede let us down.
