Hotel Castro, Castro, Chiloe Island, Western Patagonia

Inspected By Experience Chile

Introduction

The Hotel Castro was formally known as the Hosteria Castro, but has endured a renovation, along with guest-room extension, resulting in an upgrade to full “hotel” status.

It is a modern building just off the main Castro Plaza. Rooms are decorated and furnished to a decent level and the hotel also offers a small indoor pool and spa.

About

The Hotel Castro is a “practical” hotel offering 49 guest rooms in total, 29 rooms in the standard category and 20 suites. All rooms with central heating, en-suite bathrooms, TV and Wi-Fi.

The 20 suites are a newer extension of the original hotel and these are more spacious and better decorated than the standard rooms. These rooms also enjoy a view to the Castro fiord and peninsula opposite.

There is a restaurant that offers many options but specialises in sea food.

Inspected By Experience Chile

Introduction

The Hotel Ancud, officially the “Hosteria Ancud”, hosteria meaning more of a simple level hotel, has been the principal accommodation site in Ancud for many years. The property enjoys a privileged position on high ground which, from the gardens and sea-side part of the hotel grounds, there is a nice view to the sea, which is great for sunsets.

The hotel bedrooms are at modest level, although the suite appears to be better. In addition to the 24 rooms there is a restaurant, bar and conference room.

The restaurant is lined, on one side, with large windows that open up the view to the sea.

About

The Hosteria Ancud offers 24 guest rooms. The hotel is located in a residential sector of Ancud, offering nice views to the sea from the garden.

This is a modest hotel, which is more like a lodge with its tree-log interior walls and stone-floored lobby.
