Very cozy hostel. Location is really good. It’s safe. And has great kitchen area for cooking your own food. Also has a bar available. Rooms are well kept and showers and bathrooms are in abundance and always kept clean. Staff are very very helpful and friendly. Wifi is really good here. Great place for backpackers
We arrived very late , however we were greeted well and looked after in difficult times by a very nice young man. Breakfast was great , the staff were very friendly and helpful ; we would stay here again , loved the place.
Hostel was in an ideal location within the touristic unesco world heritage area of Valparaiso. Walking distance to everything you wanna see. Rooms clean and beds comfortable. Solid wifi throughout hostel. Breakfast nice with lovely soft bread. No brainer.
Hotel got many space to sit around. Located in a great area which I wanderer many hours to enjoy the street art and its landscape. Should stay extra night over here.

Good stay in Valparaiso
Great location, helpful staff spoke English. I only found two bathrooms upstairs (watch your head!), small lockers and children were staying there with families. I had a boiled egg at breakfast, there was bread and cereal. It's worth staying here alone for the fried empanadas just down the street. I mean it.

Good hostel
The room is clean and spacious. The staff is very helpful. Much better than I expected. It is good value for money. I would recommend this hostel to budget travellers.
Location was right inside a little alleyway, very cool location. Room was very private, breakfast was adequate and very typical. Lovely place amazing location
Since when is booking in advance not respected? The staff forgot to put my name in their system, despite my reservation that I had made almost a week in advance. So when I arrived, they pretty much made it seem like it was my fault. They said the hostel was full and that I had to leave and find another place.
My stay at the hostel was priceless! The staff were professional, friendly, and caring. I would recommend this hostel if you visit Valpo! check in and out was smooth, close by to places to eat and see. The amenities of the hostel were perfect, they have a kitchen for the guests to use and the hostel has 3 private bathrooms which is perfect. The rooms are spacious and the beds are cozy and they have a "treasure chest" type boxes in the rooms to put your belongings in (they can fit a small backpack to a medium size luggage). Def stay in Hostal Casa Volante when you visit Valpo! Finally this hostel has been the best hostel I have ever stayed at!
The hostel was hard to locate because the street where the hostel is located (Fisher) is a colorful alley full of stairs. You need to climb a couple flights of stairs to get to the hotel and it is located on a one way street so if you pass it you have to go around all over to get there. The hostel was located close enough to the center that we parked the car and walked. We booked two rooms - 1 for 2 and another for 3. The rooms were big and comfortable. The bedroom for 3 had 1 queen bed and 2 twin and the other had a queen bed. The bathrooms are shared but they have a restroom solely for women, another only for men, and a third that is mixed. The staff was very friendly and helped orient us on where to visit. They have a restriction as to noise so after midnight its quiet until about 6 am. They had coffee, tea, bread and fresh fruit available at all time. The house is old so it does creak but the ambiance was amazing and i loved their decoration. My family was hesitant at first but in the end fell in love with its quirkiness and fun decor.

Nice place
Great place to stay, although it was a by hard to find. The room was big and clean and the wifi worked well! We also met some lovely people which was a bonus
I'm not an expert on hostels, so I can't compare in relation to others, but as an option to stay in Valparaiso, this place is a good option. The location is convenient and the staff attention makes you feel safe. The rooms are built of cheap walling so noise travels easily, but for the price I can't complain too much. No breakfast is a sad fact, but they have free fruit and good wifi.
Very friendly English-speaking staff. Helped us with sites to see on and around Concepcion hill. Excellent security-you are let in by staff after ringing bell at door. Hostel-style accommodation with private rooms, shared bath and kitchen facilities. The building is older but well maintained to give you a true rustic experience. Access is from Fischer walkway, which is very picturesque with its multi-coloured steps. The front door is about 30 steps up from Urriola Ave. There are banks and a big shopping mall a short walking distance down Urriola. Make sure the ATM machine displays PLUS or CIRRUS stickers as most machines are for domestic use only! This hostel is about half way up Concepcion hill, and has a bohemian feeling with its crafts and artisans.
We are three adult women travelling from Canada via a 17-day luxury cruise-ship experience to get a taste of the real Bohemian Chile. This little hostal was a unique experience that provided us with down-to-earth livability with all the necessities. The beds were warm and comfortable, the communal kitchen was more than adequate, and the common areas were comfortable. Just be prepared for stairs and the city is full of them! We found that our location was excellent with easy access to the train station with its supermarket while the local streets are full of cheap buses and reasonable taxis. Do take bus 612 for a ride to remember. We chose to walk most everywhere so good shoes are a must.
Very good place, close to the downtown in Valparaíso, one of the most beautiful cities in Chile. People in the hostel are very nice. The place is clean and you feel like home. Recommended!
Ein sehr schönes und vor allem buntes Hostel mitten im Zentrum von Valparaiso. Die Zimmer sind grosszügig, das Frühstücksbuffet reichhaltig und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut. Wir würden wieder hier übernachten.
Positiv sind definitiv die großen Aufenthaltsräume. Super zum unterhalten, arbeiten und connecten.
Zimmer und Betten sind sehr sauber.
Super zentrale Lage in Valparaiso.
