Hostal Jacaranda

Valparaíso


Small but very welcoming (and perfectly located in a lively section of Cerro Alegre), this cheerful, family-style hostel features a terrace that's romantically illuminated at night. The owners have a wealth of knowledge; if you ask nicely, they might even show you how to make Chilean specialties including pisco sours and empanadas.
