This main-street guesthouse is in tip-top shape (spit-shined floors, hardwood walls) and, while it may lack local character, it offers good value for money. The single rooms with private bathroom, which drop to CH$15,000 in low season, are about as good as it gets if sharing bathrooms is not your thing.
Don't be afraid to ask Sonia, the helpful owner, for a more economical room – she is well-schooled in the art of the up-sell. She also whips up a mean scrambled eggs, which makes up for it, as does the location, directly across the street from the main Castro/Mocopulli bus stop.
